Homewood Suites by Hilton Columbia/Laurel

Negatives: The front door of suite fell apart. The doorway in to the twin bed room had something sharp on floor that could’ve hurt someone. They had roaches

Negatives: The room had stains on the carpet throughout, the popcorn ceiling was covered in dust, the shower made a very high pitched “scream” the entire time it ran, the AC/heating units were filthy dirty, the couch and curtains were torn up (looked like an animal scratched at them over and over) and the hotel was out of soap when we checked in (the staff said this). Pool was closed for renovations.

Negatives: The pool was closed and there was a lot of kids around

Negatives: I did not like my room at all. I think I was in an out of order room although I was assured I wasn't. Dishwasher broken, kitchen light did not work, handle on the refrigerator door was broke . One other issue I won't put here. When I mentioned everything at check it, the nice lady did offer to try and find me a different room, but I worked in the hotel industry and I knew it wouldn't be possible to turn the room over for re-sell. When I called the front desk in the morning, I got hung up on, not very professional. I walked down and spoke to the Executive Housekeeper and although she was very nice, I felt I got shrugged off. She did come to the room and attempt to fix the handle on the refrigerator but that really wasn't a concern. I had asked for fresh sheets and was told no because they do housekeeping every other day, even with the issue they wouldn't do it. Not very good and I am a Hilton Honors member, terrible stay. Won't stay again. Even tho I made my reservation through booking.com, I was told when in the industry every reservation counts.

Negatives: The pool wasn’t open at all which was the only reason we chose this hotel. We weren’t told about the pool until after we paid which was completely out of place! The stag was ok but could’ve been better

Negatives: Only one TV in the room worked (there were two). The TV that did work only had like 8 channels, which was super frustrating. We called down to the front desk and they had just said "turn to channel 22 and it should work". Doing that worked on one TV but the other one didn't stay on nor did any channels work. We booked a 1 bedroom King Suite with a pull out couch. In the reservation, I advised it would be 4 people, which means we would need both beds. The room did not include sheets, a comforter, or pillows for the pull out couch, so we called down to ask for this. They brought sheets and pillows. We had to ask for a comforter a second time when we got back later from a concert we were attending. The indoor pool wasn't functional at the time of our visit. The staff was bare minimum. It seemed like the only people working were the front desk.
