The hotel is centrally located in downtown Columbia, near eateries and entertainment, making it convenient to access everything in the city. The rooms provide a comfortable stay, although the view may be affected by ongoing construction work.

Overall, a good value for the price paid.

The hotel had a great location amongst everything, near eateries and entertainment. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but with a view that overlooked a construction site. The service was efficient, with various amenities available like dry cleaning, shops, laundry service, a welcome drink, and pet amenities. The location was convenient, within walking distance of plenty of local attractions in a historic area of Columbia. The dining offered delicious chocolate croissants. However, the construction view from the rooms was a downside that affected the overall experience.

The hotel is conveniently located amidst plenty of eateries and entertainment options, making it easy to access everything in downtown Columbia. The rooms are spacious with two beds, but the view may be affected by nearby construction. The service is efficient with amenities like dry cleaning and pet services available.
