    convenient fridge
    maintained fitness
    rusty bathroom

    The rooms come equipped with a microwave and fridge, giving that nice touch of convenience. A well-maintained fitness center offers a solid place to keep your workout routine on track.

    On the downside, I noticed some rust in the bathroom, which didn't look pleasant to see. The pillows sat too thin for my liking—bring your own if you're a fan of a good night's rest. Parking wasn't as advertised. I expected free parking but ended up with a $10 charge. The breakfast selection left a lot to be desired. they barely had basics like slices of bread run-of-the-mill. Overall, it seems like there's room for improvement here in various areas.

    exceptional breakfast
    helpful staff
    city view
    noisy air conditioning

    great stay , but minor improvements needed

    The breakfast impressed me daily with exceptional waffles and grits. The staff went above and beyond with directions, making my stay smooth. I particularly appreciated the city view from my room. it added a lovely touch to my mornings.

    The only downside was the somewhat loud air conditioning unit that interrupted my sleep.

    It was just a top choice for a quick stay in Columbia at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly, and the breakfast lady kept everything tidy while chatting with us. Definitely ask for a room away from the street for a quieter experience.
