The staff and property were great. Very friendly and courteous, the room was very clean. The only negative I can think of was parking was 12$ extra. Breakfast was great, bar and restaurant also good. If I every visit Columbia again. I'd book here again.

Nice place and good proximity to restaurants and the water. I didn’t like that I had to pay for parking though. There was plenty of it and the price of the room should have covered the cost.
