Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Overall hotel was nice our room didn’t look like it had been throughly cleaned more so looked as if someone just straightened up the bedding was very wrinkly as if someone had been laying on it, there was so many balls of hair on floor the toilet was not clean at all, and also maybe give options on shower pressure because having just that one setting for the shower sucks because it’s such a strong pressure doesn’t make showering enjoyable other than that great staff beautiful property!"
