I stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The rooms on the second floor were clean and comfortable, but there were roaches that needed to be sprayed. The service from the staff was friendly, although there was an issue with communication about room conditions. The location is ideal for exploring downtown Columbia, but there were safety concerns and loud noise. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel offers exquisite dining options and well-maintained facilities.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location was unbeatable for exploring the best parts of Columbia downtown and nearby areas like the Vista and the university area. However, the room cleanliness left much to be desired due to the presence of cockroaches and ants, making it impossible to stay. The service was decent, but there were some issues with the staff entering the room before checkout time.

The hotel's location is unbeatable if you want to be near downtown Columbia, the Vista, 5 points, and the university area. Though the room had a strong mildew smell and the service was rude at times, the affordable price and extraordinary dining experience stood out. However, the cleanliness of the rooms was questionable, and safety concerns were raised about the location in Cayce, South Carolina.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were decent but could use a deep clean as there were some unwelcome guests like cockroaches and ants. The service, however, was fantastic, with the staff being very considerate and well-mannered. The location couldn't be better for exploring Columbia, but the noise levels were quite high. Overall, an okay stay with room for improvement.

I checked into a room that was on the first floor at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, offering a comfortable stay. The service, unfortunately, was very rude and seemed to be short of breath while checking us in. The location was convenient for exploring the downtown area of Columbia, with some noise from surrounding areas. The draining system in my room had some cleanliness issues with hair and food remnants. When it comes to dining, the desserts were enjoyable. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
