To start the hotel is really cute and in a super convenient location. Valet was super nice, easy, and convenient for $30/night. Initially, I couldn't tell where the check in desk was because it is attached to a bar (there is a small lit up sign hanging to the right of the desk that I noticed later). The man at the front desk was very rude making faces and shaking his head when he walked away from customers (at one point we made eye contact, after he thought no one was looking). He even very loudly made an announcement to his coworker "It's almost 2 and I'm going home. I don't work tonight and I'm going home". Not professional. The second man running the desk in the evening time was fantastic. Great personality, smiled a lot, seemed he was really present in the moment and not itching to leave. The rooms are small, no closets or dressers. I don't recommend staying here if you are not used to city noise. There were foam ear plugs and a sound machine on the night stand. My husband said he counted 8 trains that night..not including emergency vehicles and pedestrian noise. We were up all night after our concert ended at 1130pm. The decor is cute and the price was right, but we wouldn't stay here again.

The room was extremely hot with no A/C unit to have it adjusted. We did not have a remote for the TV and it would not turn off so we had to physically get behind the tv to unplug it. The room was clean but extremely small. When these issues were brought to staffs attention they said they would get the A/C fixed and bring a remote. Neither one of those things happened. I've never be so disappointed in a hotel like this.

Small, Uncomfortable

The room is uncomfortably small for two people, its absurd, each guest given one pillow and one towel. The bathroom toilet is right next to the guests bed. The AC was lackluster. The elevator was broken, the hotel was out of things like lids for coffee. This hotel has a lot to figure out.

Love the property, this is my first and last visit. No coffee in the room means no Randy returning. I'm a Diamond Hilton member, so I stay in hotels weekly. Love the place but coffee is a deal killer for us old road warriors. I understand the New target market doesn't care. Unfortunately for you. I do care. When your committee of youngsters finally figures it out ,let me know. I'll reconsider

Hi, I would have given a 5 rating but the valet parking needs a lot of work, I missed part of a show because of this issue. Yes, I will probably stay there when I come back to Columbia Sc
