The rate for parking changed several times. First free, 1 week after booking $14 and day we arrived, 10 minutes before check in, $17. I also called to get a roll away bed and was told they could do it. Upon arrival, I was told they don’t have roll away beds. Manager was helpful and found a room with two beds.

Disliked: Amenities
Everything that could go wrong did. Arrived at hotel at 4 pm check in was. @ 3, room was not ready until after 5pm. We were not the only guests impacted. Upon return there was no handicapped parking which is a requirement for us. Breakfast was a disaster no food ready, no coffee cups. Took multiple trips to finally get fresh food at 930, started trying to get breakfast at 830 Shower created flood in bathroom requested at 11 to get a freshen up was told it would be a few hours. Upon return of activities at 4 pm nothing had been done. Contacted front desk they said they would let housekerping know WHEN they became available! At 6pm we requested fresh towels since we knew nothing else would get done. Parking that night same fiasco except overflow parking we were aware of, problem with card key had to come back to hotel to get it coded, still didn't work. Breakfast next day was a bit improved, still had to wait for fresh otems. Check out was best part of the experience. I explained all the issues and Sabrina was compassionate and said she would discuss with her manager. Not a repeat, maybe call before you plan on arriving to make sure your room is ready especially if with small children or elderly.

A nice, tucked away downtown hotel

This is our first time in Columbia and we wanted to stay in downtown. Nice area, a bit far from downtown area - but that is ok since we got there late. Common hot breakfast selection - nothing fancy. Room was clean and comfortable. Good costumer service.
