    Clean, great location walkable to restaurants, parking garage next door, staff was great, bar downstairs, price was right. Window looks into parking garage next door but it wasn’t loud, the price was less than others, and we liked the other aspects so it wasn’t a big factor.

    Front desk staff exceptional. Room very cozy. It was such a nice stay I hate to mention this.. only negative, there was no drinking water in the room because the water temp in sink was lukewarm. I did go get ice late last night and it was fine, but the sink water needs to be colder.

    I made a mistake and reserved the wrong date by 1 day. I asked the receptionist if we could move the date since I had already paid for it. I was told no that was not possible but the only remedy was to purchase another night at a higher rate which I had to do and I lost the payment for the unused stay.

    The hotel was very clean. The evening check in staff was very rude and seem to not want to be there. I have stayed here 3 times and it was a first to experience a rude staff member. But the rooms are always clean even though it seem the air conditioner was not working well in the room since it was a one night stay I did not feel the need to complain of issue. Parking is awkward, skecthy, as well as smelly since you have to walk where the dumpsters are in order to get to the hotel. So please be mindful of that.

    Location is definitely the positive for this hotel. May need to leave the room to change your mind as the accommodations are very “cozy”. The hotel was clean and the front desk staff was nice. Bar area seems to be popular.

    Located in beautiful downtown Columbia, SC, it was very convenient to walk several places. However staff needs to know something about public transit. No one could help us and one staff member didn’t even know the name of the public bus service. Also some of the bathroom toiletries had gone rancid and needed replacing. But overall, very satisfied.

    The walking area from the front entrance to the parking garage area is dirty and sketchy. Outside of that the hotel interior is great. The Marriott hotel next to this one has a better entry from the parking garage to its hotel. Also the Holiday in rooms are a bit smaller than usual. The city view windows are blocked by parking garages unless you are in floors 8-10 I'd say. We stayed on 6 and the view was blocked.

    This hotel is in a great area for visiting University of South Carolina and used to be among our favorites. The current staff, however, is terrible. Not courteous, not knowledgeable, and clearly feel their jobs are a chore and that guests are an inconvenience. Such a bummer because we used to love the team at this property. Maybe just a lousy few days, but it was more than one team member over the three days of interaction.
