Top Smith Lake Dam Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Columbia, MO

10/10 Excellent

"No issues"

Hotel Blu

10/10 Excellent

"It was hard to find, due to us looking for hotel blu, and not a hotel 6 ( the sign had not changed. But overall it was clean, and quiet."

Wingate by Wyndham - Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and helpful staff !"

Ramada by Wyndham Columbia

8/10 Good

"Worth the price - room was very clean and updated - the hotel itself is dated and the side door was a bit clunky to get into"

Drury Plaza Hotel Columbia East

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at Drury Hotels. Thought the food and drinks in the early evening was a nice touch. Breakfast was also good. Pet friendly. Would recommend."

Super 8 by Wyndham Columbia East

8/10 Good

"I am writing to share feedback regarding my recent 4-night stay at your property. Overall, my experience with your team was positive. There was plenty of parking, I was warmly greeted upon arrival, and every staff member I interacted with was helpful and friendly. However, I encountered significant cleanliness issues with my initial room. Due to exhaustion when I arrived, I used my own bedding and went straight to sleep. The next morning, I discovered roaches and mold in the bathroom and beneath the television area. When I brought this to the front desk's attention, the staff responded immediately and moved me to a new room without hesitation. The second room was clean, smelled fresh, and made the remainder of my stay comfortable. I would be open to staying with you again, provided the pest and mold issues in the initial room are addressed. I have photos of the conditions in the first room available if you would like to review them."
