I normally don't mind things not a little dirty. I work construction, but mind room seemed to be thrown together. I had a towel that wasn't washed. Food is overpriced, staff was awesome.

The Holiday Inn staff were the most helpful and impressive in the many years of my travels.
Showing up with a group of eleven in the late evening, they made sure we got what we needed for the evening and explained what amenities were still available that night.
The next morning, our check out was very smooth.

Our group traveled with bikes, Charles the maintenance tech hooked us up with water to clean the bikes and allowed us to store them in the conference room. Thanks to he, Ali the manager and Sandra the bartender, we had a great stay. They were more than accommodating.

Rolled into Columbia from the Katy Trail. The hotel accommodated 11 wet and weary riders with pure class. Charles the maintenance tech and Sandra the bartender really stepped up the hospitality. Thanks to Ali and the entire crew for making this a special portion of our multi-day bicycle trip.
