Ramada by Wyndham Columbia

Doors straight out to parking lot.

Employee didn't speak English. Made check in slow.

I do not recommend this hotel. The cost is cheap and it is reflected in the lack of care they give to cleaning rooms and hallways. Carpets are worn down in the hallways and there was a smell in the hallway. One of the side doors, to enter the hotel, states you need to use your key to enter, while the latch is kept out and no key is required to open the door. This is not a safe practice, especially if it stays open at night. The curtain in the shower has visible mold on it. There was dirt around the tub in the room we stayed in. The pullout couch was used during our stay and the pad that goes on the couch is full of holes. The sheets we found, in the closet, to use on the couch had stains. The comforters on the beds had stains. The breakfast that was offered had stale food. If you are a light sleeper, it is close to the highway and it is noisy with traffic. The manager stated if he had known about some of these issues, he could have taken care of them and moved my family to a different room. I have my doubts that any of the other rooms would have been any better. As a hotel owner, there should be no NEED to have to move people around to a different room just so they can get one that is clean, free of mold, and a room that does not have dirty and stained sheets and comforters. The standard of cleanliness should be the same for each room. If your thought as a hotel owner is that you can just keep moving your patron(s) to another room till they get one they are happy with, you are missing what people are seeking when they stay in a hotel. The rooms should be clean from the get go because your patrons are expecting it to be so and that is what they are paying for. No one wants to be switching from room to room, after traveling a distance.

I'd love to bring the bed home with me. It was so relaxing.
