This motel is close to the Vista section of Columbia and convenient to downtown and the University. We did not have a problem getting around. It is new, clean, well run with a very friendly staff. Full breakfast was excellent.The pool and exercise rooms are minimal. We had a room on the main road side of the hotel but were... More

This hotel is just on the west side of downtown Columbia, near the restaurants on Gervais St. and not too far from the Statehouse. The big problem is traffic. Both streets at the intersection have several lanes with lots of traffic, all in a hurry to get someplace. If you plan to walk anywhere, you have to do some planning,... More

I stayed here while visiting cousins in Columbia. The front desk staff were as sweet as could be; knowledgeable and very helpful. The lobby is spacious and attractive, and the hotel amenities are great. Excellent internet, delicious breakfast (lovely staff), and comfortable and quiet rooms. I was well pleased... More

We want to thank you for your kind review, our staff and I love what we do. When a guest takes the time to acknowledge a job well done it provides the staff with a positive energy. We shared your review during our morning huddle yesterday. And though it was raining and gray outside you never would have been able... More

I've stayed here a few time for business. Next time, I'll check out other hotels in the area. If you stay off the road side of the hotel it's fine. If you stay on the side next to the main road be prepared for LOUD traffic all night long. It's clean and not a bad place but the road noise... More

From registering the front desk was excellent, Brian checked us in and even called the room to make sure everything was alright!! The room was beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast the next morning was delicious!!! The ladies who kept things flowing were very nice and pleasant. Even when a guest dropped the bacon on the floor and walked away these... More

I stayed here for 3 night to support my wife at her graduation ceremony. The room was surprisingly spacious and artfully styled. There was enough parking for free in the hotel's lot. The route to get to Ft. Jackson couldn't've been easier - take one road, with no turns. The staff was well mannered and helpful with all my needs.... More

We stayed here for a business trip for my husband, one night on our way to our destination and one night back. The pool is rather small but the rooms are clean. I wiped away cobbwebbs from the front desk as we inquired to why the exhaust fan didn't work or why the cable was so fuzzy if therewas an... More

Everyone on the staff was very nice. Clean and up to date room nicely furnished. Didn't have restaurants immediately around hotel, but a 2 minute drive will get you to several nice downtown restaurants. Close to downtown without the parking hassles. Good hot breakfast included with eggs, sausage, biscuits, pancakes. More

I recently finished an extended stay at this hotel for business. Throughout my time there the staff, including Julie, Sarah + Andrew, were not only professional, but regularly went above and beyond to make me feel at home. Rooms were renovated and clean, free breakfast and happy hour at night was a plus. Try avoid staying on the first floor... More

but my biggest complaint is being charged for smoking in my room when I have never smoked(you watch your grandfather die of emphysema as a teenager and see if you want to) and am highly allergic to cigarette smoke anyway. I called the hotel to try and fix this and was told the manager wasnt available at 6PM. My manager... More
