Beautiful and comfortable rooms. Lovely location. Restaurant had good food. But, ran out of wine as well as rudely kicked a bar full of patrons out rather early. Perhaps there’s a timeframe, but establishment lost lots of money that evening.

From the time we check in, to the time we check out, the Merriweather Lakehouse was nothing short of amazing. Izabella greeted us with a warm smile and was helpful in every aspect of our check in. When I mentioned I was there because I was getting married the next day, she extended warm wishes and presented me with a nice welcoming gift! I had several family members who flew in on the day of my wedding. The director of guest services and Jermaine offered my family an are in the hotel where they could change and freshen up! That's top tier customer service and it was greatly appreciated. Jermaine was very pleasant and continuously asked me if there was anything else he could do to help us out during the check out process. He definitely was there to help make things go smooth for me that day! If you are ever in the Columbia area and need a hotel who is going to care about the customer, do yourself a favor and stay here!!!

Overall the property is solid. The front desk staff were helpful, although I wanted to update my room, it was a bit tough to get them to assist. The bartenders were great. The cafe was super limiting in its options. I drink decaf coffee. They only had drip, and they did not have any alternative milk options, which is not very common. We had breakfast the day of checkout. Sadly, the crab I ordered to be added to my omelet was spoiled. It smelled of ammonia, which is surprising coming from a property like this. The view of the lake was splendid though and the rooms were nice. The AC did sound like an airplane tho :)
