No breaky?

Wish I had known there was no breakfast offered of any sort, though they did say they could make me a cup of tea or coffee, otherwise it was closed. When I booked, I specifically chose because of the token breakfast offering

Nice reasonable priced hotel

The room was comfortable. The microwave and regrigerator worked and the bathroom was fine too. Plenty of electrical outlets to charge phone and use my CPAP machine. Breakfast room was under construction, but the manager did make coffee so I could take some coffee for my road trip. There was no hair dryer, but called the front desk and they brought me one. They were very accomodating.

Good value for a one night stay. Rooms are dimly lit, but there's plenty of lamps, so it's not a major problem. Tub was kind of gross. People just hung out in their cars or in the parking lot.

Travellers beware!

The saying is:"You get , what you pay for". Not in this case. You get much less.! There was no breakfast and the "reception" is literally a hole in the external wall. A little window with a plastic divider to register . When asked about the breakfast and the way the reception is situated, I was told, that this is done because of the "covid" situation. In my view it is a false advertising on the Hotels site. This was the first time we experienced this. My recommendation for the future travellers is to avoid booking this hotel. There are many other hotels availabe for the same cost of one night stay in this area that have all, that is advertised.

Older But Comfortable

It didn't look like much from the road, the property is older, but the rooms were updated, clean and comfortable. Not fancy, but quiet, and a good stay in the Columbia area.
