The hotel was gorgeous and well-appointed. The staff friendly and helpful. The Chai Latte from the lobby cafe was so good! The only note was that there was only one person working on a Sunday morning and the line was quite long. She did a great job! If I am ever in Columbia, MD again, I will definitely be staying there.

Beautiful location. It’s in the heart of Columbia but tucked away perfectly for a nice retreat. Right by a nice trail. The view of the lake is breathtaking. Pool closes kind of early so make sure you pay attention to the time. Restaurant was worth every penny. Beds were nice. Loved the personalized touch with the tv having my name on it.
