Comfortable, but needs some maintenance

Location is close to the Koger Center, the room was spacious and quiet and checkin was quick. However, our bathroom had plaster falling down from the ceiling, covering the bathtub, etc., in a layer of white dust

Hilton Honors Lives Up to Its Name

This was my second stay at this location, and it was just as enjoyable as my first stay. Only small issues I had were a light was out in the bathroom and the room was advertised as having a microwave, but it did not have one. There was space for one, but it definitely was missing it. Everything else was perfect - Location was great and close to everything, clean hotel, attractive bright lobby and hallways. Staff were super friendly, which is always a huge plus, especially coming from out of town and the last thing you want to encounter is a rude person at a front desk. Everyone was very pleasant. Free coffee in the lobby was great as well. My junior suite was clean, very spacious and a sure stay for me each time I'm back in Columbia SC. The missing microwave and light out was definitely not a deal breaker for me and only mentions so someone can look into them. Thanks for another great stay and looking forward to the next time. Hilton always gets it right!
