The hotel room was typical and in need of an update. Unfortunately, the cleanliness was not up to par, but the staff was welcoming and friendly. The location was great with many dining options nearby, but there were some reconstruction noises. Dining was disappointing and overpriced. The facilities were average, with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering a small kitchen, a large dining room table, and 1.5 bathrooms. However, considering the high price paid, I expected a bit more in terms of room size and amenities. The service was generally friendly and helpful, but there was an issue with unhelpful staff when reporting a faulty AC. The location was convenient for exploring Columbia, with many nearby dining options, although the temperature control in the dining room could be better. The dining experience was not impressive, with limited offerings and room service could have been improved. The hotel's facilities were satisfactory, but not exceptional.

My stay at the hotel was comfortable and welcoming despite a few minor issues. The rooms were nice, but a bit noisy due to hallway traffic. The service was amazing and very accommodating, meeting our special requests promptly. The location was excellent, though it needs some maintenance. The dining experience was a bit less than expected in quality versus price, but the homemade organic products were a nice touch.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although spacious and comfortable, had issues like an unpleasant smell in the closet. The location was great, being close to downtown attractions. However, the lack of a mini fridge was disappointing, even though it could be requested. The service was fantastic, despite a minor inconvenience of a garbage can left outside our door. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some dishes not meeting expectations. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The hotel's rooms were quiet, clean, and spacious with a large dining room table and a kitchenette. However, they seemed hastily cleaned when I returned in the afternoon. The service was a mix of being very busy due to events but also accommodating, with helpful staff carrying luggage by hand. The location was convenient with various attractions within walking distance, although some areas were not up to Marriott standards. Dining was delicious with freshly brewed coffee, and the facilities were satisfactory.
