I had a mixed experience at the Marriott Columbia. The renovations have made the rooms feel modern, and the bed was comfortable, but there were several maintenance issues that detracted from my stay. On a positive note, the location is fantastic, making it easy to explore downtown. However, the breakfast could use improvement, and some facilities, like the pool, were not operational during my visit.

My stay at Marriott Columbia was a mixed experience. While the staff, particularly at the front desk, were genuinely helpful and made me feel welcome, the room itself left much to be desired. It was older and a bit beat up, with issues like a cracked toilet and noise from hall traffic. Fortunately, I found the bed comfortable and the lobby had its moments of charm, but overall, I felt it could use some renovations.
