"Clean"

Wyndham Garden Columbia/Ft. Jackson

8/10 Good

"It was a nice place to stay,the staff was nice and the continental breakfast was great. Just loud noisy people made it difficult to sleep. Only thing...I wasn't expecting to have to pay an additional 100.00 deposit ,for any damages done,which is returned in a few days if the room is in good condition. It created unforseen circumstances for me,cause that's all I had to eat on for the next 3 days there..Thank goodness we brought bread and peanut butter"
