Water was brown coming out of the faucet. Elevator was scary going from floor to floor. Ice machines do not work. First floor is under renovation. The place smells like curry as someone is living there at the hotel. Missing TV remote. USB chargers do not work. I could go on but this is enough. Demanded refund and went to another establishment.

Entire property is under construction, thick layer of drywall dust on all surfaces and paint footsteps everywhere. The breakfast area is closed as are both pools and hot tub, and the rooms are small with worn out mattresses. After having an asthma attack minutes after getting to our room from the conditions, they offered a full refund so we could go elsewhere, only to change their mind the next day and refuse to refund for the room we wound up not using. There was no prior notice about the condition of the property either.

Only ice machines working currently are on the 1st and 4th floor. No fitness area or pool at this time.

I got several bedbug bites but didn’t notice until I checked out and was back on the road. They denied the whole thing! I had to undress in my backyard, but a bunch of bombs for car, throw away several items, buy meds for the allergic reaction to bites, spend hours washing and drying my clothes and can’t stop freaking out about the bugs. I don’t think they refunded my money or compensated me with a free motel stay, either. Is it legal for them to ignore the bugs?

Our room was filthy and had ants crawling in the bathroom. We brought it to the attention of the staff but we’re told that they couldn’t do anything for us because we booked through Hotels.com. My wife tried to call yesterday, after we returned home, and was basically told that hotels.com couldn’t do anything for us. Due to the high demand for rooms in Columbia, MO this past weekend we paid over $350 for this room and basically wasted it.

The hotel needs serious attention from the management: the carpet on the stairs is dirty with big stains and is worn out. Rooms have ants and possibly bed bugs. I have taken photos of the carpet and of ants, as well as photos of myself showing bug bites that I saw a couple of hours ago. That is terrible! The front desk staff are nice and try to help, but the problem is more than they can handle.

*** I should preface this by saying I don't recall ever writing a review, but this warranted one. https://youtu.be/ZlW5bKCH8u4 I stayed in room 312 6/21-6/22. The carpet is damp and the room smelled of somethign like wet dog. I woke up to ants in and all over the bed, on the floors, the counters the bathroom vanity and surrounding the HVAC unit. Please watch the video. I went to the front desk, the room was inspected, a report was made and they told me to contact the manager, Hally, for a refund, which I did. This hotel is under major construction and should not be operating. It's a complete dump. When I pulled into the parking lot I actually assumed I was at the wrong place. The office behind the check in is absoloutely filthy. I would not even consider eating from the breakfast due to the conditions of my room. I would strongly advise you to stay somewhere else as there are many options in Columbia. Hally has been unresponsive for the past week.

Buyer beware on this one. The interstate traffic noice is extreme at this location. The building is under renovation construction, the price was premium. 1 washrag given per room. The first room had a broken a/c. I got the feeling we were given the worst room because we had used third party booking.

Nothing appeared to be overly clean. Hallways were dirty and a looked like the hadn’t been swept or mopped in some time. Our room was on the interstate side and I was extremely noisy throughout our stay. I think the rating should be closer to 6.5.

This hotel was undergoing a remodel, so the lobby was not appealing. The room was clean. I asked the lobby clerk about good places to eat and her response was "I'm a vegetarian and I don't eat out". No help at all. Also, each ice machine was inoperable on every floor except the one of the bottom floor which was behind closed doors due to the remodel. Breakfast was adequate but every employee I encountered seemed sullen and did not seem to care if I was there or not. If we travel to Columbia, MO, again, I will choose another hotel.

Convenient to the west side of town and mall unlike the places to stay on the far east side of town. Did not check out the pool.

When I checked in I was asking why it was not disclosed that the property was under construction? The front desk person told me well, it's not going to bother you because you will be sleeping! The lobby was piled ceiling high with mattresses and shipping boxes from China. There were a big gaping hole in the roof of the carport ... I'm quite literally surprised that they were allowed to be open. First night (Friday) they were drilling at 9:21PM on the floor under where I stayed. They did come in my room during my stay but did not make the beds or change the towels so I am not sure what they did there. Breakfast was from 6-9AM EVEN on a weekend, i came down a little bit after 9 AM on Sunday and the drinkbar was locked and so was the are where they kept yogurt. The lunchroom was also full of big boxes with Chinese writing on them piled up around the walls in the eating area. It was a horrible experience and I will never stay there again. I was not the only Mizzou mom/parent who stayed there that weekend and we all had the same experience.
