Change bathroom door for more privacy. Sliding glass door is strange. Why not just hang a bedsheet if you’re trying to cut costs? Put microwave in rooms. We had to carry our food down to the lobby and use the communal microwave. Pretty sad. Provide better towels in bathroom. Present towels are ones like you find at a gym, if that. More attention to 24-7 coffee tea service. Overall, just a poor effort compared to years past. Will probably skip this place on next visit to Columbia.
