Hampton Inn Columbia

This place does it right. I signed up with Tripadvisor specifically to write this review. The whole experience was excellent. Fair price, friendly staff, clean room, no hotel smell. Here's what made me write this review: The complementary breakfast is the gold standard. Everything was delicious. Western Omelet was shockingly good. This place does it right.

Good & Bad Experience Our stay at Hampton Inn was both the best of times and the worst of times. We had one of those experiences where we want to give it another try but are fearful that we'll be disappointed. Great Parts: 1. breakfast was outstanding. So much offered between hot food and continental, and everything tasted good. The people handling the breakfast area were welcoming and answered a family member's allergy-related questions with both compassion and a willingness to help. 2. Our bed was comfortable, and bedding was great. 3. Room darkening curtains worked great. 4. Plenty of small tables and area in the lobby for our extended family to gather and talk / play cards. We were there for a wedding weekend. Bad Parts: Actually, there are only two, and they are related to the bathroom. I have heard reviewers claim that the key to whether a place is clean rests in its bathrooms. The Hampton Inn's bathroom in our room was horrible. We had mold nearly surrounding the bathtub that had grown in the clear caulk used to seal the tub. We had a few stink bugs appear climbing the wall. The maid service did a horrible job cleaning the floor. Caked up grime existed all along the wall edges, and a huge area existed behind the toilet. We had only a two-night stay, and I heard people being turned away because the hotel was booked solid, so I did not complain for fear we'd lose our room. But upon check out, I let the desk clerk know there was a problem with mold in the bathroom and that they should probably do something about it before booking anyone else in the room. I was not complaining or demanding any type of compensation. In fact, I whispered it so nobody else would hear me. She didn't bat an eye and actually said, "Do you mean the mold growing under the caulk around the tub?" Obviously, I shook my head yes, but that concerned me that the hotel rented out that room with that mold issue knowing full well that it was there. Our room was either 207 or 209; I cannot remember which.

Surprisingly great. Hampton is not usually my first choice, but we wound up here anyway and we’re glad we did. Extremely friendly staff, especially while checking in in the evening. Clean room, and a really good selection at the continental breakfast. Definitely a great place to stay if you don’t want to stay in Nashville.

Clean and spacious This location is right off the interstate. I was on the backside of the hotel and it was very quiet. Room was spacious and bathroom was a as well. I have stayed in several Hampton Inn properties and this was one of the better ones.

Good stay, one noisey AC unit Very nice Hampton close to town and dining. My first room had a loud AC unit, so I asked the front desk person for a new room, no problem. Everything was good from there. Note there is a little road construction in the area. Several restaurants near by for a quick meal. I would stay here again.
