The staff is more than helpful and friendly. Came for a tennis tournament with my two dogs and they were so accommodating. Would definitely stay again!
Stay here from time to time when visiting my USC student. Convenient location, on site parking, love having a drink downstairs at the bar and breakfast is good. Rooms are nice and clean. Outside traffic noise can be loud, but it’s the city. We always travel with a fan to drown out noise.
Did like the front desk person he was rude only one elevator worked n we were on the 6th floor and the ice machine was broken on our floor
The location and Hotel was very nice
The room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was great, omelets and make your own fresh waffles and then some! Parking was limited but we were provided with a ticket to park in a garage across the street.
This was a very nice hotel! The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the room we stayed in was clean and nice. Overall I enjoyed my experience there and will be booking with them again.
Clean, modern and comfortable beds! Great staff. Convenient location and lots of on site secure parking! Breakfast was great too! Highly recommend staying here.
We stayed just one night but enjoyed our stay. It’s a good location and in walking distance of restaurants! My kids especially loved that Rita’s Ice is around the corner! Also, the complimentary breakfast was much appreciated!
This hotel is in downtown Columbia. Hotel was somewhat dated in comparison to other locations in other states. Staff was extremely friendly and readily available for all questions.
The room was clean. The breakfast was hot and good. The breakfast attendants kept the area very clean and well stocked even with the high amount of traffic
