Homewood Suites by Hilton Columbia

I only have three suggestions for improvement: The bathroom had a damp smell that could be addressed to improve overall freshness. The pillows were quite uncomfortable and could be upgraded for a better sleeping experience. The window curtains smelled dusty, as though they had not been cleaned or washed in a long time.

Yes my kids love the breakfast

Room was clean upon arrival, except the dishes in the dishwasher were unwashed. Breakfast was reasonable with good options. Best thing was how quiet the hotel was even though there seemed to be a lot of guests. Biggest issues were: 1. The pool was unusable as it wasn't heated and the room was so cold that swimming wasn't practical. When asked, the staff stated that the same was essentially true nearly year round! 2. Property gave a 1 king vs. the requested 2 queen suite. When pressed, the front desk said that third party booking sites can't guarantee a room type only that a room will be available. 3. Room had a sleeper sofa (compensated somewhat for no 2nd bed), but the mattress was disgusting and looked like there was mold on it, making it also unusable. Given that it was a short stay, dealt with the inconvenience and called it a lesson learned, but unlikely to stay here again.

Yes pets allowed and parking limited. However, safe feeling.

We had a great stay, everything was as expected and clean! The pool was clean but very cold, and the hot tub was closed.
