10/10 Excellent

"There was no shower gel in the bathroom. No wash towels the next day, it seemed like whoever was cleaning the room was in a hurry and just dropped a pile of towels on the bathroom counter. The door doesn't close u Other than that, it was a good stay!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Columbia Killian Road

10/10 Excellent

"The property was in very attractive, in good condition and very clean. The location was great for good choices of restaurants you could walk to. The location was great for walking my dog because there were sidewalks everywhere. The only thing that wasn't great was the desk clerk that did the check-in. He acted like it was an imposition to stand up and check me in. He mumbled and was hard to understand."
