There were bed bugs in the room. It was 1130pm so we had no choice but to switch rooms in the hotel. The next day we’re got a full refund through Travelocity who handled the situation quickly and courteously. The property manager was rude and unprofessional; The night manager did her best to help us out with a different room. Thank you Travelocity for standing by your word!

Standard hotel. Directions bring you to the front side. But, parking andvthe entrance is on Lady Street in the back. My bathroom at home is cleaner. Housekeeping ran out of supplies to remove red shower growth. Nobody changed linens on second bed. Drape dropped off and bright light ended sleeping early in the morning.

This hotel is very conveniently placed between downtown Columbia and the Riverwalk. We were able to walk to almost every place we wanted to see. Breakfast was included and the selection of food was very nice. The room was comfortable and spacious. Please note you will be charged daily to park your car in their parking lot.
