Breakfast was ok but no variety of hot food. Was the same choices all week. Pool wasnt cleaned. Room was good for the price but is under remodel. Overall was good for the price of the room for the week.

Wyndham Garden Columbia/Ft. Jackson
Everything is run down. They’re trying to make it nice but the building and neighborhood are not good. It’s a motel room not a hotel room; very small and in poor condition. Clean but very disappointing.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Columbia-I-26 @ Harbison Blvd by IHG
The bed was very hard. The sofa bed was too noisy. The toilet seat wasn’t clean. There was no vent in the bathroom. The shower was too forceful and water was going all over the floor.
