Mediocre at best

I wasn't a fan of the receptionist. Wasn't rude but wasn't friendly either. I think it is a horrible idea not to let the mainstay personnel eat breakfast just because they have a kitchenette. That is the worst thought process I have ever heard for a hotel stay. I made a call to the front desk and got blown off. That was a slap to the face. Parking was very limited. The price wasn't worth the stay. To hike the price up 40, 50, 60 dollars just because of a day is horrible. I am on the fence if I ever do business again with this hotel.

Check in lady “Miss SJ” was very rude. she did not smile at all, you could tell she did not want to be there, answered questions with vague answers. She was not personable. We needed extra towels- were told “y’all have to bring the dirty ones back to us and we will replace them with clean ones”. in all my years of traveling and staying at a hotel, I have never heard of having to exchange dirty towels for clean ones. Wouldn’t stay with this company again.

Beautiful Columbia SC

Visiting Friends in the beautiful city of Columbia. Relaxing and lots of natural beauty around. A bit of disappointment in the hotel room: There were gnats in the room, the AC leaked on the floor, and the floor was dirty. On a positive note: Loved having a kitchenette and all items were very clean, even the appliances. The shower was really nice with plenty of hot water. Bed was comfortable and we got a good night sleep. Also, the room was very quiet, we couldn’t even hear the traffic except if a vehicle had a loud muffler. It was very peaceful and quiet. Thankyou Kathy

Our first room had water leak from AC unit, broken toilet seat and shower door and sheets were dirty. We had to change rooms. Next room no better. We left and stayed at the Aloft hotel down the street. The new paint on this hotel cannot cover the filthy rooms and dirty, musty smells of an old building. Front desk was friendly and super understanding. They are on point!

You can hear everything. someone knocked on our window too I wasn’t going to look though. We could hear people talking outside and the cars on the road. The bed was hard. The floor was dirty I found hair on the bathroom floor and walking around barefoot our feet were dirty. The staff were friendly and kind. The stay was okay. The 2 bedrooms were spacious and had a lot of space. Every room had a tv. The kitchen/ living room space was spacious. The kitchen area and fridge were clean.

I showed up and attempted to check in at 3:30pm and they told me they were booked from the previous night and had no clean rooms available at the moment and I had to come back in a few hours. They then refused to cancel me so I could be refunded because I had booked via Expedia. I waited a few hours and the room was still nasty and smelly when I checked in! Hair in the shower everywhere, dirty linen, and the bathroom and the entire room smelling like sewage.
