It was my first time in Columbia, SC. The hotel was charming, and the location was spot on. The room was clean and comfortable, the only downside was that my room did not have a safe to store personal items. The staff was friendly. In particular, Kaitlyn was professional, helpful, and pleasant to talk to. I would definitely return to this hotel without a doubt. Location was great because all the restaurants were within walking distance.

I was disappointed when I came up to the room with my food to warm up in the microwave. Just to find we were put in a room that was suppose to have a microwave it didn’t.

Heavenly and Gloria took good care of us and kept our room tidy. Heavenly was working in room next door and I was cold in the room and wanted to sit on couch…she left and got me a spare blanket to use. She went above and beyond for me and it was appreciated
