“Typical conference center hotel. I'm sorry but service was slower than many hotels. I called down to reception and a brief hold led to hanging up and going down stairs. The executive lounge had only 1 choice of snack. But did have a fair drink selection. It was also closed weekends. The bar food was good quality. The $14 burger tasted really good. And went with the excellent and hit $4 fries. Given that I travel extensively, I may give this a miss next time. The decor and finish if the hotel was top notch. Tidy clean and modern looking.”

“Every time I am in Columbia I will stay at this location. I loved everything about it!
It's right downtown and next to everything. They have a parking garage ($15 a day) kinda expensive but🤷🏿♀️ they also have valet.
Check-in was a breeze, the staff was amazing, rooms were nice! My kids enjoyed the swimming pool. The area was huge, with lots of sitting, clean towels, and overlooked the lobby. A gym was also right inside/next to the pool.
They have a restaurant, a bar, and a sandwich shop right on the premises.
That weekend a festival was outside right on that strike. It was food trucks and a lot of vendors outside. I found out they do that every weekend. You have to go out early though because it's only until like 1pm.
Marriott had their bar guy out front selling drinks as well. Little chairs in front just for their customers to sit and enjoy. I loved it and enjoyed my drink.”

One bad experience after another. The bathroom shower wasn't cleaned before check in (*lots* of hair), the sink was broken, and the amenities like lotion and soap wasn't replaced so I didn't have anything when checking in. Then the next day I walked out of the room for literally 30 seconds for ice and on return my key wouldn't work, so I had to call someone to come up and let me in. Plus one of the water bottles they leave for you by the coffee was already opened. Hotel is a good location but other than that it's awful. Has the appearance of a nice hotel but is falling apart and there's no attention to detail.
One plus- the service person who came to my room was super nice and helpful.

I like what they have done with the renovations to the hotel rooms. Not a five star hotel but for columbia this hotel is nice. Rooms look very modern now
The breakfast served in the lounge could improve but it’s decent. Being centrally located on Main Street you can easily walk to other places in downtown. See you next time

Don't forget to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏm when booking a resort. This site will compare thousands of hotel sites and usually will have prices much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This place is one of the highest rated in the area. I have been staying here for a long time. If you choose this place you definitely won't be disappointed.
Hats off to Christopher at front desk. He helped with minor room issue. Renovation has gone well here, we were there last November during renovations. Rooms are stylish, plenty of space, bathrooms top notch, decor excellent. Location near everything in downtown Columbia

Surprised the quality was disappointing. Dirt and age was visible. Nice staff but you come to the hotel for a comfortable stay and this hotel needs a decor upgrade. Good location and pleasant area...

Certainly not worth the price we paid!

Pros - great location, friendly staff at check-in and the bar.
Cons - it's apparent the rooms need major updates (which have just started). It was also apparent their maintenance staff are terrible...
