The hotel is clean but if you book the room with any kind of discount they will but you on the 3rd floor where they fill all the room and it gets noisy. I asked to be moved to the 2nd floor and told there would be a $90 charge for the same type room that I already had. Very strange.

Hotel charged me $20.00 more on my first night than the rate I booked at via Hotels.com. I am not happy about that! This location is very noisy all through the night with fire truck sirens, train horns and loud sports cars as are seen/heard all over Columbia. Choose this location for convenience only not if you want to get a decent night’s sleep bc it won’t happen!
