SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

8/10 Good
"The hotel is clean, beds comfortable, and convenient to downtown. Staff friendly and helpful. Stayed here before but was disappointed that the pool water was cloudy, so I did not use. Looked forward to indoor pool and was clean my earlier visit. The breakfast was tasty last time, but also was disappointing this visit. Hotel pretty empty but food should be hot, if served hot."
