Residence Inn by Marriott Columbia

Positiv: The staff was nice & the breakfast was good.

Negativ: The whole place had a dingy feel. We have stayed in sever residence inns & this one was definitely my least favorite. We have a 6 & 3 year old, so the pool is a big issue. They said they had a pool & it was open. But when we checked in, told us the pool was open but heaters didn't work. The water was freezing, it was unusable. But offered no rebate or other comps because they said pool was open. Not 1 person was is the pool in the entire hotel the 3 says we were there. Our room had a smell that was unpleasant. It might have been a former smoking room, but the odor was constant. The stoves were dirty & so were the pots & pans. The showers were very nice & so was the staff & the breakfast was good. The suite was very small. I would not stay there again for the price.
