I liked that my room and bathroom were clean. The staff was nice. The breakfast offered was good, average options to choose from. This is my second time staying there. I do like that there are a lot of options for dining nearby. I didn’t like that I had to pay a parking fee though which seems to related to the city Columbia (didn’t recall it from my first visit). Overall, a very nice stay.

Someone knocked on our door three different times between 12-1 am. I opened the door each time with no one there. The assumed it was kids so I called the front desk to let them know. They advised it was actually them/the hotel but didn’t have a good reason??? Regardless, I was highly irritated and couldn’t sleep the rest of the night.

Not enough parking and had to buy a parking pass but still spent $10 at the parking garage across the street. Night manager was extremely rude!
