Wyndham Garden Columbia/Ft. Jackson
Room was very clean, we had fresh towels everyday. I didn’t give five stars because I couldn’t find one banana or orange, or apple for breakfast. Everything else was super.

Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Downtown at USC
The hotel was nice and clean. It was walking distance from the arena HOWEVER. There is a train track very near and it seems to run at night. The hotel offered ear plugs - that should give you an idea as to how loud it is.
