"Woman we checked us in was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our room was huge, but even though it was a non smoking one you could tell it had been smoked in. I should have requested a room change but was too tired from the travel. Location is convenient but difficult to cross over road to take a left into, crazy fast traffic."

"Great alternative to a hotel in downtown Columbia. We (my wife, two daughters and I) were attending a swim meet in Columbia for a weekend. This condo was conveniently located to downtown, about a 10 minute drive. Provided significantly more space than a hotel room. The condo complex was quiet. Very clean and had comfortable beds. We would recommend."

"It is a beautiful home! Location was perfect for our trip! It was very clean just a bit dusty. The furniture could use some updating and the two TV's both had issues switching channels and turning off by itself. Otherwise, it was a 5 Star Stay!"
