We attended a festival at nearby Finlay Park and the hotel could not have been handier. An easy 10 minute walk. The hotel itself was clean and the staff helpful. Would stay here on our next Columbia trip.

Overall the staff were very welcoming. The place was clean overall. They could just clean up the webs on the window seals. The continental breakfast pretty good both days. They could’ve just made sure the food was warmer and full. But overall it was good.

I had a wonderful stay at this property. Every staff member was extremely personable and helpful. The front desk staff were so welcoming. All areas of the property were clean and it had great amenities. Breakfast was good for hotel breakfast and there were several options. The only downside was the parking. There is a parking fee and the parking lot was really small. At one point, I had to wait for someone to leave so I could park my vehicle. Overall a great experience and I would stay again.
