After a long day, I found the rooms comfortable and let the front desk know about my smoking preference half an hour before check-out. The price could have been better, but overall a decent stay.

I had a comfortable and cozy stay at the hotel, especially for booking on the fly. The rooms were comfortable and even had the new Netflix application on the TVs, but there was some dust due to the lack of a seal. The staff was helpful in answering questions about my reservation but seemed undertrained in basic routines like handling a cash register. The location was fantastic, right next to an upscale steakhouse called the Staffers Grill in Columbia. The dining experience was satisfactory, although it was closed down until after July 4th.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was good for my trip, but the rooms had a musty smell that made me uncomfortable, and I struggled to get a good night's sleep. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were some issues with the dining options. Overall, it was not an ideal stay for me.
