Wingate by Wyndham Columbia

Just a really pleasant surprise! Under 100 dollars all in. We're on a long road trip from Montana to Virginia. We booked the Wingate literally 20 minutes before we arrived. The room was large and spotlessly clean. It had everything you needed. The decor was nice, beds very comfortable. The pool was clean, well positioned, and let's face it, who actually uses the pools often when traveling ... but we did because it was that nice and easy. Small gym, great too. The staff were great. The breakfast was beyond what we anticipated for the usual little buffet .... but the breakfast included had fresh fruit, sausages, biscuits, gravy, waffles, cereal, all kinds of bread products, snack bars, raisins, yogurt, pancakes etc etc. Seriously well stocked, I could go on. Nice big flat screen TV, fridge, microwave, safe et al. For this kind of money, it really was an unexpected pleasure. Hey it's a small neat hotel in Columbia Missouri.... but very well done guys! You should be proud of your cleaning staff, your front desk staff, and your kitchen staff.

Property is well maintained, quiet location with ample parking onsite. Property is near medical complex and off the main road a few miles, a little difficult to locate. Clean good sized bedroom and bathroom, comfortable mattress. Dove products in bathroom were nice. Lobby staff were friendly and helpful with checking in and options, directions to local restaurants. Express checkout was a big plus.

Our overall stay was great. We were just staying for the night. The stay was pleasant and welcoming. We were immediately told about some issues they were having with TVs and the spa was down for the night. I appreciated them being forthcoming and it didn't effect our stay at all. The room was clean and felt new. The hotel itself was clean and felt new as well. Breckfast was good. (Eggs, potatoes and sausage with biscuitsand gravy). We are rebooking for our return trip.

The breakfast was great. I also liked that the pool had a shower to rinse off there and the hot tub worked.

IMO this is the best motel chain in the business. On my trip I stayed primarily at Wingate By Wyndham motels. Every one was clean and well staffed and in safe locations. They all had good breakfasts. When planning my trips (usually 2 each year) I budget my stays at around $100 per night. This chain fit my budget and requirements.
