Not restful

Parking was a problem. The rules did not seem to be enforced. It was frustrating to pay for parking and not be able to park. Otner guest were very noisy. They gave me a 1st floor room next to the outdoor patio which had people yelling and carrying on till after midnight. A couple had a dog in the lobby that barked incessantly all breakfast. Definitely woudnt go back. Id rather get some sleep and habe quiet in a less nice hotel.

Great location Great stay

This was out first visit to Columbia and i couldn't have picked a more perfect hotel. The location was right in the middle of everything. We walked across the street for an amazing dinner then strolled around and found a great dessert cafe. Too many unique choices for dining. The hotel is clean, friendly and comfortable all around. The rooms are very roomy and exceptionally clean. I always stay at hotels that offer breakfast and this one did not disappoint. The variety of offerings included fresh cut fruits, omelets, hot cereals and our favorite waffle station. This place had regular waffles and blueberry. Coffees were good too We will be back!
