Buyer beware on this one. The interstate traffic noice is extreme at this location. The building is under renovation construction, the price was premium. 1 washrag given per room. The first room had a broken a/c. I got the feeling we were given the worst room because we had used third party booking.

*** I should preface this by saying I don't recall ever writing a review, but this warranted one. https://youtu.be/ZlW5bKCH8u4 I stayed in room 312 6/21-6/22. The carpet is damp and the room smelled of somethign like wet dog. I woke up to ants in and all over the bed, on the floors, the counters the bathroom vanity and surrounding the HVAC unit. Please watch the video. I went to the front desk, the room was inspected, a report was made and they told me to contact the manager, Hally, for a refund, which I did. This hotel is under major construction and should not be operating. It's a complete dump. When I pulled into the parking lot I actually assumed I was at the wrong place. The office behind the check in is absoloutely filthy. I would not even consider eating from the breakfast due to the conditions of my room. I would strongly advise you to stay somewhere else as there are many options in Columbia. Hally has been unresponsive for the past week.

A/C did not work. Room was full of ants. Breakfast area full of ants (in the syrup even). Broken TV remote. Burned out light bulbs. Broken ice machine. Entire floor smelled like curry or something similar. VERY noisy since the building is right up against I-70. It was a poor experience, but the workers were polite.
