Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
I came here for my husbands basic training graduation and although the room being absolutely gorgeous, the room had roaches. The pool was freezing cold and it was dirty. The water was very murky. The rooms are gorgeous and staff was pleasant but the roaches and pool upkeep ruined the stay
This was a GREAT CHOICE for us. The staff was EXCELLENT and the room was large enough for us three guys on our way to FL. We will come again next year.
The hotel was clean and comfortable. The full kitchen was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and helpful at check in. We stayed to visit the National park which was only 20 minutes away.
Staff was very friendly, check in was quick and easy and hotel was clean.
I like the Dove soaps, lotions, etc.
will stay again when in Columbia.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Service was excellent, the beds were clean and very comfortable. Loved having a little kitchen. The floors and bathroom were not very clean but nothing major that bothered us. We would stay here again!
Mixed Experience – Friendly Staff but Poor Room Cleanliness
The front desk staff was welcoming and friendly, which was a great first impression. However, the cleanliness of the room itself was disappointing. Unfortunately, the issues made for a less-than-relaxing stay.
Our stay was good. The room was small but had everything you would need. It was pretty quiet also. It has an ac unit that does make quite a bit of noise coming on and off but that was it.
