"Nice place, friendly."
Overall Score5.0/5
It's not lavish. Bed is super comfortable. A/C can be adjusted to have the fan blow all the time or cycle on and off. Room is small. But if you just want a laid back place to sleep it works well. They are doing best they can with grab and go breakfast.

19-Oct-2020 Verified Review, stayed from Fri Oct 16 to Sun Oct 18 2020 at a $77.99 average nightly rate.

21-Aug-2019 Verified Review, stayed from Tue Aug 20 to Wed Aug 21 2019 at a $120.60 average nightly rate.
"Great accommodations for the Price. Staff Extremely Proficient and Friendly."
Overall Score4.0/5
As a last ditch effort, in a rushed attempt to find housing during a conference in Columbia with access to the University Alumni Center in mind, I found Gallus. Upon arriving, I was under the impression that my booking was correct, but I was actually booked at a rate of a premium customer by a glitch in the computer and system. Kendra, with her efficiency, found a way to comp the room and still keep the price at the rate that was negotiated previously. Although, the train tracks that are right next to the hotel can become a bit annoying, for the price and access to the university, short trips with a lot of mobility outside of the hotel, Gallus is your place in Columbia, SC.
Joseph H. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
06-Apr-2019 Verified Review, stayed from Wed Apr 03 to Fri Apr 05 2019 at a $89.10 average nightly rate.
"Location was good, all Very friendly except night guy."
Overall Score4.0/5
We would not hesitate to stay again.
Kim C. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
08-Mar-2019 Verified Review, stayed from Thu Mar 07 to Fri Mar 08 2019 at a $107.19 average nightly rate.
"Average Accommodation"
Overall Score3.0/5
Excellent staff, the room was okay but the shower was terrible. Whenever we take a shower the water runs from the bath area covering the entire bathroom and into the living area. I was appalled! That put a damper on our stay.
Donovan G. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
22-Feb-2019 Verified Review, stayed from Wed Feb 20 to Fri Feb 22 2019 at a $89.00 average nightly rate.
