Room was clean, space and complimentary waters and popcorn were given during check in which was a nice touch. Area was nice but did have a few homeless people nearby which is expected in downtown but it did not affect my stay. Breakfast was as expected. Overall it was a good stay and the indoor pool was convenient during colder stays.

The staff was exceptionally courteous and did everything they could to improve our stay. However, we had to wait almost an hour past our check in time before a clean room became available. Once we were in our room, it was clear that the housekeeping staff had been in a hurry as the bathroom had been cleaned but not well (debris from previous guests on floor, hair in bathtub). On top of that, the fan on the ac/heat unit was so noisy that we had to turn the entire unit off at the breaker.
Maybe the hotel was slammed at the last minute and miscalculated the need for staff but overall, it was disappointing.

The property itself was great, clean and welcoming. The staff was top notch, friendly courteous and very helpful. Day and night shift. Great breakfast selection and friendly cook staff.
Parking can be a bit concerning with the dual hotels, fills up fast, but staff made concerns less of a factor when questioned about sfaety.

While the lobby was well kept, our room was lacking. The dishwasher was dirty on the outside, and I wiped down the shelves and counters myself. The shower wasn’t overly clean, and their bottles of hand soap and body wash was empty. You could tell it had been been for a while, as the body wash was facing the sink outside instead of the shower. The garage disposal wasn’t working and started smelling as the food from previous visits started coming up. Maintenance did respond quickly, however. When o went to go make a coffee, the cream was bad. The breakfast was sub par. However, Martin was very friendly and made sure everything was tidy and stocked.
After having spent 1 night previously at the Home 2 Suites in Columbia, IRMO, the difference was apparent. They were spotless, with a bigger and better variety of breakfast.
The best part was Martin, the

The room had a bad smell, even though it states the cleaning is done every other day it was only done once after a long weak stay. We did request the room to be cleaned but it was only done once.
The person in the breakfast area was very kind and nice during our stay.

Overall stay was positive, breakfast not so much
The location was excellent, room was clean and comfortable. Check in went well and the man at the desk was very helpful with dining suggestions. Breakfast was subpar and the lady taking care of the breakfast station was rude and disrespectful.
