Hotel Information:
We have arranged a group rate at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Columbia/Laurel of $119/night. Each room has a pull out couch/bed so can accommodate 4 people. This hotel is about 10 minute drive/uber from the curling club. Also across the street are 5+ restaurants/bars so you can eat/drink and walk back to the hotel. Also, late night curling parties are known to occur in the lobby lounge after people leave the curling club.
