I liked that my room and bathroom were clean. The staff was nice. The breakfast offered was good, average options to choose from. This is my second time staying there. I do like that there are a lot of options for dining nearby. I didn’t like that I had to pay a parking fee though which seems to related to the city Columbia (didn’t recall it from my first visit). Overall, a very nice stay.

And the cleaning stuff clean the room 2 times . Rooms smell bad And i will never forget at breakfast the dirty look and running her mouth one of the cleaning lady to a family with kid's for bread pieces falling under the table. My god she have to clean up and she have to do her job.
