Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Columbia, SC
The room was fine, beds were fine. Surfaces wiped clean etc. However you could see dirt debris in all the corners where more thorough cleaning/vacuuming would have taken care of that. This was not a one time miss but a build up over time. This is why I didn't give higher overall ratings.
