So I don't get all the bad reviews for this place - it was a wonderful experience staying here!

You do not have to use the valet - I found a meter a stone throw's away from the hotel. The valet guy, Kip helped out alot finding a meter spot.

Jane the front the desk agent - was very pleasent to deal with. She answered all my questions and was able to get me the PERFECT room for my stay.

The room was very nice - yes this is old building - so the room had a lot of character that I loved! I got a corner room overlooking main street. The bed and pillows were very nice - I honestly wanted to steal one of the pillows to take home, but I didn't. The room & bathroom were very clean. The bathroom even had a TV in it.

The rooftop bar was a nice feature and had a great view of Columbia.

Overall - I will stay here again!
