Surprisingly Pleased
I wasn’t sure what to expect upon our arrival. However, I surprisingly pleased with our room, the service, and the cleanliness of the facility. When visiting Columbia we will certainly be back!

The stay was good and the bartender was very hospitable. The only problem I had was a $50.00 deposit in which it was a surprise checking in. To me it should of been stated when booking the room. The parking lot fee should be free instead of paying for a place to park. That should have been mentioned in the booking of the room as well.

Nice hotel.
My wife and I had a nice stay. We live not far outside of Columbia, but we came in to the city to see the ballet and we wanted to go to the bars after and not have to worry about ubering or driving back. Hotel is located right in the heart of the capital near the state house. There are many noteable bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk from the hotel. Pleasant staff and very comfortable beds.
