Nice room and breakfast - TV was not good

The room was very nice. My only negative is that the TV had no online guide. The card containing the channel line up didn't match the available channels. I arrived late at night, got ready for bed, and wanted to watch a little TV before retiring. The card listed channels 4 thru 62. The TV had channels 66-1 thru 88-?. When I selected 66-1, for example, there was a long commercial with no indication of what channel I was looking at. Very frustrating to find a channel to watch. I tried to call the from desk to see if there was a way to find out what channels were available, and the phone didn't work either. The next morning I went to the front desk and found that there are two different TV channel line up systems, and that the card in my room didn't match the TV channel line up in my room. Very frustrating. Other than the TV issue, the room was very nice and breakfast was great.

Parking Fee

The stay was nice. I was unaware of the parking fee they charged and when I tried to speak with the manager, her attitude was horrible. Upon check-in, there was no conversation about the parking fee. Parking at the facility to should included with the stay. This is NOT the Ritz.

The toilet was broken. The water was not hot. The cookies were for members only. The front desk worker did give us two but only after a lot of contemplation. No employees smiled.

Watch for the parking fee

The hotel itself was pretty much what you would expect. The only thing that caught me off guard was they tried to charge a 5 dollar parking fee I am fine with this if I’m in a busy downtown area, but it’s ridiculous on the outskirts of Columbia, There is a Walmart less than a mile away. South Carolina When I pressed the issue the hotel staff dropped the charge, but it still just seems like a money grab
