While the rooms are modern, they should be serviced daily and they are not. Trash stacked up at the trash cans in the hallway. Perhaps housekeeping should be available around the clock.

The Cambria was a pretty hotel and located near lots of restaurants and the UofSC campus. I arrived and the parking lot was full, so I had to valet my car which was fine. The person checking me could barely lift his head to acknowledge me. The next night I arrived back to the hotel and again, the parking lot was full, but apparently there is no valet on duty on Mondays. I had to park on the street and get up by 7am the next morning to move my car into the parking lot, which was just inconvenient. Many other people staying at the hotel had the same issue. I asked the front desk to send someone to refill the soap, shampoo and conditioner multiple times and no one ever came. In addition, I received MANY text messages asking how they could make my stay more enjoyable, but none were answered. The hotel is nice and clean but there are a few things that need to be addressed by management.

We paid $16 for parking but there was no valet and no self parking spots available. We are parking illegally and hoping it works out. If there’s limited parking, you’ll need valets later that 8 pm.

I was there less than 24 hours; the check in process was easy, the room was nice and clean. Rate was high though considering an additional fee was charged for parking and no complimentary breakfast. Also right downtown and even though it was Saturday night, it was very noisy.

I was in town for my son's graduation from basic combat training. I received a call before check in time that there was an "emergency" and due to the HVAC not working they were moving guests to other hotels in the area. Something about the contractor not being able to fix the issue. This made little sense to me but they gave me the name of a local hotel. That evening after family day at Fort Jackson we went to the Cambria to see what was going on. The person at the valet had no idea that there were any issues. The person at the front desk had no idea what I was talking about. There was a "post it note" on the desk which specifically said not to check in (my name) and when I asked about it - pointing to my name on the note - the person behind the desk did not know what to do or say. Then he started to mention that there was "a part missing". When I tried to get clarity I was told to take the managers business card and call her tomorrow. Bottom line - the Cambria overbooked the hotel. IMO they elected to push off the Expedia customer for another customer. Even though we booked well over a month in advance because of the graduation. In fairness to the Cambria they did comp out stay at the new hotel and we had no charge at the Cambria but bottom line is that they should have not overbooked and if they did then tell us the truth. The manager at the Springhill Suites said that "this happens but they should not have left a post it note out where you could see it."
