“The recent renovation has clearly elevated this downtown Columbia spot; the fresh décor, coupled with free parking and a solid breakfast, certainly makes it a practical choice. Friendly service adds appeal, and the updated rooms-complete with streaming-ready TVs-are a welcome bonus; I think it's a smart balance of value and location.”
