This property and ALL of the staff are fabulous! I love boutique hotels and this one is now at the top of the list as one of my favorites. The decor is nice. The beds are comfy. It’s walking distance to restaurants and shopping. They offer free breakfast and did I mention complimentary wine and popcorn upon checking in!!! I will be back!!!

Warning: I’ll be naming names in this review. To say that I was impressed is the understatement of the year! I am every hotels worst nightmare when it comes to my level of pickiness as a guest because I check everywhere. Well, this hotel beat me to the punch! Room 113 was so clean that we booked a second night just to extend our stay there. Sindy was responsible for cleaning my room so I found her and asked how she got it so clean. When she told me the entire cleaning staff uses black...

We have a child at the university and stayed here for a weekend visit. I had never been, but my husband had stayed years ago for a swim meet. He insisted I book here, though I wanted to stay at the Hilton. I was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived at the Staybridge! The staff was super friendly, and exceptionally efficient. The room was very spacious, and the little kitchen was perfect! The included breakfast was also excellent. I will stay here every visit to Columbia!

Very picturesque area.
I wish the parking fee would have been more obvious. I missed it during the booking. It was $15 p/day.
