Front desk staff was great, wonderful to be able to walk to shops and dinner, beds were sooo comfortable! Downsides were long waits for the elevator because one was broken and the street noise was quite loud at night.

Great location in Columbia

The hotel is conveniently located to several restaurants and all of downtown Columbia. Felt the area was very safe. Room was clean and very quiet with plenty of space. Shower was spacious with good water pressure. Parking was free which is a nice treat compared to most hotels in Columbia. Free breakfast was good for a quick bite.
