Hampton Inn Columbia

Fine hotel in a central location to Baltimore and Washington. Friendly service, but feels like it hasn't been updated in a few years. Nothing serious, but lots of smallish things, like: musty smelling room (until AC has had a chance to run - the AC did work well), room frig that didn't work at all, and a closet door that had a broken hinge (causing the door to hang open, waiting for you to run into it in the night - why wasn't this fixed before renting out the room?). And don't flush the toilet during the night - it sounds like a jet and will wake your significant other from a dead sleep. (Otherwise the hotel was pretty quiet despite being busy.) Breakfast was below average for this level of hotel: pastries that would have been good given 20 seconds of warming in a microwave (but instead they were ice cold and hard as a rock, and there was no microwave in the dining area), scrambled eggs from powder, and bacon that just wasn't right. (Good sausage however!) And the hot water for tea tasted like stale coffee, which is unfortunately all too common these days, because coffee carafes get re-used for hot water.) Overall, this is a very serviceable hotel, and I feel like a manager with a drive to get the small things right could make this a truly 5-star experience.

Although there were signs that they were renovating the property was great. Staff was great. No complaints.

Staff was friendly and welcoming, area was always well lit and clean, the room was a good size and we had a great time

Front desk hosts during our stay were incredibly kind humans, and professional in their handling on seemingly mundane task. Give those 2 women a raise!

Impeccable property with contemporary furniture, attentive staff, large breakfast room with lots of food and seating options. Super comfortable beds and roomy bathroom in guest room.

Staff not easily available

The breakfast at this location was above average for breakfast included hotels. I enjoyed a small cheese omelet, bacon and fried potatoes. There was a larger selection of morning juices so a tried one other than my usual orange juice. Also, there was a selection of seating options, low seats at a couch, high seats at high table, and regular seats at tables. At the checkout desk, there was a sign about a $6 parking fee, but somehow, I avoided that charge, which I appreciated.

It was average. There was a dirty wash rag over the shower. What kind of housekeeping is this?????? Paid premium for substandard service.

Outside and inside facility is clean. Room is clean. Quiet area surrounded by a townhouse neighborhood and another hotel. Breakfast was nice.

Everything was nice and clean.very good breakfast nice area. Chick-fil-A rigth at the corner
