The hotel had a great location amongst everything, near eateries and entertainment. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but with a view that overlooked a construction site. The service was efficient, with various amenities available like dry cleaning, shops, laundry service, a welcome drink, and pet amenities. The location was convenient, within walking distance of plenty of local attractions in a historic area of Columbia. The dining offered delicious chocolate croissants. However, the construction view from the rooms was a downside that affected the overall experience.
