So Glad my Toilet Clogged

My stay at the hotel was lovely and I have no complaints-including when my toilet clogged. Leo from housekeeping came up and was so professional, and friendly and solved the problem and gave me some tips on visiting Columbia S.C. since it was my first time there. Everyone was nice but Leo stood out.

Great Stay

From the moment we arrived, the Cambria Hotel made an excellent impression. The property was immaculate, clean, beautifully maintained, and the décor was absolutely phenomenal. It gave off an upscale and welcoming vibe that set the tone for our stay. The front desk staff were exceptional very kind and helpful. They even allowed us to check in early, which was a huge plus. Shout-ou to the valet team: while the gentleman who greeted us upon arrival seemed a bit preoccupied on his phone and did not acknowledge us, the valet who assisted us at checkout more than made up for it. He was warm, attentive, offered us cold bottled water, and sincerely wished us safe travels. That kind of hospitality goes a long way! Unfortunately, a severe storm rolled through during the night, and it knocked out several electrical components in our room, including the TV, some power outlets, and the AC. At 1:00 AM, we were offered a room change by the front desk staff, which was thoughtful, but not ideal considering how late it was and that we were checking out in a few hours. We decided to stay put and make the best of it. In response, the hotel refunded our parking fee (since our room was prepaid through a third party), which we appreciated. I also want to commend the morning team. The maintenance technician was already on his way to our room to address the issue even before I went to the front desk, which shows great internal communication and responsiveness.

The property was clean. We had issue with the running toilet. It’s started in the middle of the night so was not really an option to call someone to fix. Another issue was dinner. You had to order at the bar. First night of our stay we did not know about it. Saw empty dining room that we were told at check in was serving dinner starting at 5. Second night we stood at the bar just waiting for the menu. We were ignored for a while by 2 bar employees. After 10 minutes we left and went elsewhere to eat. Parking lot was also overcrowded and we had to leave the car with the valley ( still a nice option). Our breakfast experience was outstanding. The staff were super attentive.
