WhyHotel by Placemakr, Columbia

From my check-in to my check out, everyone at the front desk was friendly and helpful. I had an issue and was moved to another apartment without problem. Even knew me by name, greeted with a welcome back :)

Recommend? Absolutely
Would definitely stay again.

Even tho it was a 4 day vacation for me and my boyfriend. I loved the feel and the amenities that the hotel provided. The room that I had was very clean and spacious & in a perfect area to walk around and just relax. The only con was just the extra towels and bedding wasn’t provided in the room. Everything else was a 10/10 & highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️

Such a cool concept: condos as hotel rooms. Our unit was impeccably decorated with all the modern feels. We loved having a separate bedroom apart from the living space and a full kitchen to use. The amenities at the property were top-notch, staff was friendly and check-in/out was quick. The only thing that was a negative was that because the halls were so long, noise carried very easily. We didn't have any issues, but we could hear others' conversations when we were coming/going, and they could probably hear ours, too!

I loved the idea of a hotel within an apartment building. Seems a few floors are reserved for that purpose. Parking in the garage (or the parking lot if there are no concerts) is simple and easy. Since it's an apartment building, it's legitimately a home away from home. Even though the office "closes" at 8, staff is readily available via phone or text 24 hours a day. Loved this place!

You can tell that the hotel and building are both very new with some kinks still being ironed out, but overall it’s a great place to stay if you’re looking for space at a reasonable price. Many of the restaurants in the community are in the process of completion so I expect there to be a lot more so do in the immediate are in the near future. The check in process was simple and low touch, as the majority of the experience. It’s very much similar to living in a condo and less so like a typical hotel. The parking while convenient is also somewhat egregious at $35 a night given the ample space that exists throughout the area. The pool is a nice bonus but has limited hours, is quite shallow and for some reason requires a lifeguard. The doors in the rooms struggle to close fully due to the humidity in the region and poor installation but this is a minor gripe. The kitchen space is ample as is overall space in the unit itself. Dressers in all rooms and king beds vs queen would have been appreciated, but again these are minor qualms. Highway access from the community is good as are grocery stores and shopping as a whole. If you come in with the right expectations this place will likely deliver what you’re after. If you’re hoping for a full service hotel experience then you’re probably better off looking elsewhere.
