Once considered the tallest 'skyscraper' in Columbia, the painstaking restoration has carefully preserved its historic details. The contemporary guest accommodations offer the latest amenities. In the hotel's public areas you'll see hand-tooled woodwork, mosaic inlays in the original early-1900s tile floor and the original palmetto motif of the exterior. You can take advantage of a large state-of-the-art exercise facility and dine at any of food outlets including a martini bar in the original bank vault, a rooftop lounge, an all-day sports bar and grill, and a plush restaurant that affords beautiful views of the city from every table.

Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful. Valet guys were quick and friendly.
Cons: The hotels computer had the Reservation in my guest name not mine. Took 15+ minutes to figure out, the conformation number was of No help according to the employee. Had to get a new set up keys twice as they would not open the door. Valet parking $20.00 per day to be put in an uncovered & unsecured lot seemed unnecessary.

Pros: Great character and fantastic location.
Cons: Confusing arrangement for parking considering there is a Marriot around the corner and the parking ramp is connected there only. The room was clean and bright, but the arrangement was cramped. No chair other than an awkward desk at foot of the bed.

Pros: The room was great - wood floors but with modern amenities. The price was amazing for what it offered. Starbucks and Roof Top bar were great places to hang.
Cons: Our room wasn't ready. Check-in begins at 3 p.m. and we arrived at 3:45 p.m. and still had to wait for a room to become available.

Cons: Yes! The idea of being in a wheelchair accessible designed room, which was rather awkward. These type rooms had NO bathroom counter space. Note to self in the future, decline those types of rooms. They should be available only upon request

Pros: The Sheraton has a JEWEL in their employee, She was so warm and inviting! She was very helpful and professional. Excellent experience!
Cons: Parking was very confusing. You can park in the Marriott parking deck, which is also the Public parking deck, but The Sheraton isn't marked on any of those signs. Parking is $12 for self-parking.

Pros: Slept great on the bed
Cons: The front desk messed up terribly. They charged my father’s room for our charges. Evidently if you have the same last name it’s too confusing for them. I wasn’t pleased that they called me several times trying to clear up their mistake. I work at night, so being woke up during my sleep three times was irritating.

Pros: The bed was great. The downtown location was awesome, and I loved the old nostalgic building.
Cons: The room was very small. The water in the shower vacillated between hot and cold, and I constantly had to adjust the handle...very irritating and I did get burned and frozen. :( Have never had this happen in a hotel before.

If visitng the Columbia area...
Pros: The actual room was very nice. If our family were the only guest, it would have been better. see below
Cons: When booking a "Sheraton" property, one has certain expectations, this property failed miserably to come close to that. This hotel is an old bank which was very cool for nostalgia purposes but Very noisy from inside and out side noises ( creaky floors,elevator dings, ice makers, street radio, motorcycles etc)
