My favorite feature was the outdoor seating with firepits... we took advantage of the cooler evenings and nice weather with a drink by the fire. We wanted to try the bar on property but it never seemed to be open even during the stated business hours, that was annoying. My room was on the 2nd floor and had 2 queen beds, a chair and a dresser with fridge. Features I appreciated... the full length mirror on the closet door, double shades on the window, hairdryer, magnifying mirror and bathroom nightlight. No coffee maker in the room, there are some for guests to use in the hallways on each floor though. Be aware that some rooms have skylights with no cover directly over the bed. My room did not, thankfully, but a co-worker got a room like that and was very uncomfortable and of course the sun blazes in at first light right in your face. That needs to be addressed, imho. Enjoyed the walkability and location. Valet parking only as is typical of this area of Columbia'.

We loved all the thoughtful touches in our room--from the welcome cheesecake and strawberries to the snacks, drinks, Keurig with a wide selection of coffee and tea, warming eye masks, quality toiletries, and bubble bath. Our room featured an adjustable king bed and a large jacuzzi tub, and the bed was the most comfortable we've slept in on our trip. After dinner, we enjoyed relaxing on the front porch, strolling through the quiet historic neighborhood, and spending time in the beautiful secret garden beneath the old trees. Breakfast the next morning was absolutely delicious and served at the time we requested. The Chestnut Cottage is more than just a place to stay--it's a place where you feel genuinely cared for. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to our next visit.

I booked The 1425 Inn on Expedia in July for a weekend in November as we were going to visit my child at U of South Carolina. I made sure that the rate was refundable and that we would not pay anything until we arrived on site because our plans were not yet confirmed. A couple of weeks later I notice the 1425 Inn had charged my credit card even though I had made sure that our booking would not require a deposit or any type of payment. I canceled the booking and expected that the money they charged would be refunded to my credit card. Several weeks pass and the 1425 Inn did not refund me. I contacted Expedia and they said they would investigate. A couple days later Expedia informed me that the 1425 Inn REFUSED TO REFUND my money. I was shocked. I re-read the booking and the cancellation all of which stated that I would not be charged if I canceled by Nov 3rd (I canceled in August). I don't know what kind of business practice this place employs but taking my money without consent and refusing to refund it to me is STEALING. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD NOT BOOK, LET ALONE STAY, AT THE 1425 INN.

I had a lovely stay at The 1425 Inn. It truly felt like a home away from home!…read more I was a little early to check in, but warmly greeted by Bill and Carol. They let me put my bag down in a room while I stepped out for lunch. I returned later to a clean and beautiful room (The Gervais) on the bottom floor. It had a very comfy bed, desk area, small TV, closet, and bathroom with both a shower and claw footed tub. Besides the cozy room, there was a big living area that always had soft drinks, water, snacks, and even wine at the ready. For breakfast, I enjoyed some yogurt and fruit. One of my favorite parts of the inn was all of the art on the wall. Most of it is for sale from local artists and you're invited to walk around the different rooms that are not occupied to take a look. There was a small parking lot in the back. In the evening, I had dinner on Main Street and opted to have a nice walk which took about 15 minutes. Perfect location! I only stayed for one night but would certainly love to return for longer.

Upon arrival, we were quickly approached by the valet - valet parking is $20/day, a reasonable value. The lobby itself was well decorated for the Independence Day Holiday, and at check-in they let us know about the restaurant and bar area which would be available for breakfast, dinner or drinks. What we didn't use the bar, the breakfast restaurant was open and airy, with wonderful food and incredibly friendly staff. The room itself was large, with wonderful water pressure and temperature in the shower. The bed was comfortable, and the complimentary Wi-Fi was strong throughout. This was my first visit ever to Columbia, but if I were to return to the city, this is definitely the place where I would stay.

TLDR: The parking is bad. Like bad bad. The rooms are nice…read moreenough but we had to move and our sheets were stained, and front desk is 10/10. But we were bothered twice when we had the privacy sign on the door. We were in Columbia for a week to visit someone not doing so well. The day before our arrival, that person unfortunately passed. We found out on our way in that the funeral service was to be held the day after our checkout. I will say that the front desk staff was very kind and accommodating in giving us the extra day. Overall, the front desk staff was actually amazing. We had one gentleman tell us he missed us every time we came back in from a day out which honestly made our day! If I was rating on staff alone, it'd be a 5/5. Onto the issues however... so, it's no one's fault of course, but our door lock stopped working on our second day. You could push in on the door and it'd just open. We had housekeeping drop towels while we were out so I have no idea how long our room was just open like that. They did have another room across the hall thankfully. My partner's complaint is that we were offered no compensation for having to move. I, however, come from the resort industry & have rarely if ever experienced compensation for moves. So take that however you will haha. The cleanliness of the first room was great! No dust, no signs of anything dirty at all. However the second room was not so great. We had stains on the comforter. Not sure if it was blood, makeup, or spray tan. We asked for new sheets but they only replaced the comforter, so we kinda just threw everything else onto the floor & didn't use it. Then we asked housekeeping for extra rags & towels since we were staying for the week. I was appreciative that they gave us a couple, and that they came by every other day or so to deliver new ones, but honestly I'd have just preferred it if they gave us a stack of them at the beginning. Just personal preference on that one, I suppose. The shower pressure is crazy by the way. I wasn't a fan, but my partner enjoyed the high pressure. It's like the jet setting on a water hose LOL. Okay SO! We booked through a third party. Because of that, we had to stack on the extra day as a separate booking. No biggie whatever. Excepptttt the morning of the extra day rolls around, we're trying to sleep in so we put the privacy tag on the door, and we were bothered twice within like 30 mins by people asking us when we're checking out so apparently there just wasn't any communication between front desk and housekeeping there, even though we had already re-checked in that morning. But divas the parking here..... tell me WHY the lot is full at 3pm on a Tuesday? You already have to pay per day to park, whatever it's downtown I get it, but on top of that you gotta tip the valet to park your car for you if you don't make it back at a good time (and by good time I mean like 1-2 pm if you're lucky) you'll have to valet at that point. All in all, the only thing keeping me from staying there again is the parking situation. The hotel itself is really nice and looks updated, and was mostly clean. The stains on our comforter looked like they'd been washed into the fabric and just went unseen. Housekeeping was nice and friendly, and the front desk staff was super nice and helpful. The TV doesn't quite fit because there aren't any smart functions or anything like that which I found kinda weird.
