    The hotel was in the right place for the graduation.
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 2 nights

    reserved adjoining rooms or suites or next to one another. Daughter on 3rd floor, we were on 2nd floor. No pool or Jacuzzi. Bathroom downstairs filled with poop and did not flush. Not cleaned up from morning until 11 a.m. Flag on pole all tattered and a disgrace to America. My husband asked the desk to at least take it down, rather than keep it flying in that condition. Cost of hotel.

    In the correct area for the Columbia College graduation Our room on 2nd floor.

    A lot of noise from the road in front of the hotel. The highway is right next to it, and it woke me up at night. Not very clean, the shower had a lot of somebody's haires all over the walls.

    Nice welcoming staff. Good breakfast.

    Only problem I had was that my water in the bathroom was not hot at all! There wasn’t anyone at the front desk often so I only saw someone when I checked in

    I liked the location very much. The hotel itself was clean and very comfortable. Close to restaurants and parks .

    Our room No. 104 was located next to the highway and the wall on the other side was the gym. When people were using the equipment in the gym, you could hear them. The outside wall/window needs to be soundproofed. The traffic noise kept us from getting a sound sleep.

    My only complaint, which other reviewers have also mentioned, was that my room faced Huger street, a busy Columbia thoroughfare, and traffic noise went on through the night. I use a sleep sounds white noise app on my phone with a small Bluetooth speaker which helped alleviate some of that.

    Hotel looks brand new. Smells like fresh baked cookies and new paint. Fixtures and furniture and decor are all modern contemporary. Bed was comfortable, room was well appointed with coffeemaker, microwave, refrigerator, big screen TV with streaming services. Place was spotless and clean. Staff were cordial and professional. Breakfast was excellent with several choices, something for everyone. Free parking on site. Convenient location in downtown Columbia.

    Location was a long way on foot from restaurants. Breakfast was mediocre. We stayed in a lot of hotels during this trip and all their breakfasts were bland and unimaginative. The lesson is to avoid hotel breakfasts and go out for breakfast in the USA. I don't remember if you provided plastic knifes, forks and spoons like everybody else, but if you did you should stop doing so. US hotels generate huge quantities of plastic and paper waste.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was good.

    The only bad thing was that the bathroom had rust in it. It was not the red rust, but the black one, maybe fungus. Also, the pillows were extremely thin, so bring your own. Besides that, everything was great! Good size of the bathroom, and overall room. Going back.

    The room was of a very good size, it even had a big desk and a chair. I went there for a concert and I could do my make-up I the desk with a big mirror. The bed was also of a great size. The staff was very friendly.

    The staff was not very friendly . The front desk clerks were not dressed appropriately. The front desk staff had tight leggings and their tops looked like swimsuit tops . Their middle stomachs were showing. Their tops were too short. I could not believe it. They need to be furnished with some type of uniforms like khaki pants and polo shirts with hotel logo ..

    The hotel was v furnished with nice decor and very clean. Breakfast was good. I was glad to see oatmeal.

    The lady that was replacing the eggs at breakfast was rude to me the first morning so I didn't bother going down the next morning but that's it. Everything else was great

    We really liked the outside patio area by the pool. The rooms were nice and it was quiet.

    It was the same breakfast offering each day. The noise at night. We were right on top of the main road.

    The breakfast was decent. It had a variety of items. The staff serving breakfast were very friendly & accommodating. They could possibly have waffles & sausage links instead of pressed patties.
