Best Western Plus Columbia Inn
Room was clean and quiet, hotel staff did a good job, breakfast was good. 4 stars instead of 5 because TV wouldn’t connect to internet for streaming and only had a handful of cable channels. Also the bathroom sink didn’t have hot water. Pretty minor inconveniences overall, would absolutely stay here ...
