Not impressed. Treated poorly by staff. Was in town for 1 night for a funeral, asked for conjoined rooms as we have kids. Mentioned this numerous times before getting to the hotel. arrived at 11AM, refused us a room until 3. At 3, they said they gave away conjoined rooms and didn’t have any for us. Really bad experience. No room service. Awful bartender who could not make drinks and whose nickname was a bit distasteful. The entire experience was awful. I do not recommend going here for any occasian.

Best hotel even without a pool. I stay here every time I visit Columbia South Carolina. With many hotels in the area, this is the best. They do not have a pool but it’s worth the stay.

Won’t be back
Check-in was a pleasure. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bartender was helpful…until we went to check out and we found out she double charged us (on our card and to our room, even though we didn’t want to charge it to our room). We had the bank proof and receipts to prove it. The manager kept arguing with us that we did indeed charge them to our room. She was very rude to us
