Stoney Creek Hotel Columbia
The room jacuzzi tub didnt work. No repairs. The hotel pool spa was broken. Not very nice for a wedding night. Really disappointed. Thanks Traci for everything.

Drury Plaza Hotel Columbia East
Everything was very nice. I have one complaint. Our room was right over the entrance and the outdoor music was on pretty early (6a) in the morning and was quite loud in our room.
