I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Columbia-Fort Jackson, and while my overall experience was decent, it had its ups and downs. The front desk staff were super friendly and recognized my IHG membership with an upgrade, which I appreciated. The breakfast was a bit of a letdown though; options were limited and not very flavorful. Also, the room decor felt outdated, especially the carpets and bathroom lighting. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, but not quite what I expected.

Rooms

My room was spacious with a separate living area and two TVs, but the decor left something to be desired. The carpet could use a deep clean, and some areas had noticeable stains.
