Hotels near Pinnacles Youth Park, Rocky Fork Township

They say this is the biggest hotel in Columbia and they should surely add the best hotel in Columbia, too. It really is fabulous — starting with the Hilton VIP treatment from Dwight on the Front Desk who worked with us on our arrival time to get us the most perfect room. That was also thanks to Lois and Cynthia, with whom we corresponded in making our reservation weeks earlier. The room was the Parlor Suite, which was massive with a wet-bar, jacuzzi tub, separate shower, even an extra half-toilet. The windows do not open but the view from the 4th/top floor was breathtaking. Housekeeping could not have been friendlier, happy to provide you with whatever extras you needed. There was complimentary coffee in the lobby and the famous HGI breakfast is $15.95 per guest (Diamond members are given a $20 credit toward this). A very enjoyable stay — made memorable by Hilton hospitality experts like Dwight, Lois and Cynthia.

We stayed here one night and it's okay. First, it was clean. That's always the most important thing to me. The beds were pretty comfortable. The suite had enough room for us to spread out. We even got food from the Mexican place next door and had plenty of space and table area to eat in the room. We were exhausted from the drive and just didn't feel like eating at the actual restaurant. The three things that knocked the rating the most were the window, the desk partition, and the bathroom door. The desk partition was loose, I suppose so someone had shoved a piece of cardboard in the track to keep it from moving. However, it just rattled every time someone walked past it. So that was a little annoying, but nothing major. The next thing is the bathroom door. There is nothing physically wrong with it, but the design isn't great. It is frosted glass which looks fantastic. However, when you are up early for showers and everyone else is sleeping, it does nothing to block the light. Unfortunately, it is right across from the beds so once one of us was up, the rest of us in the beds were up. Our son stayed happily asleep on the pull out couch. Again, structurally, the door worked fine and it was aesthetically nice, but not a great choice. The worst thing was the window. It wasn't latched all the way and the locking mechanism was bent so there was no way for it to be latched all the way. So it was letting in cold air and noise from sirens going by all night, which wasn't pleasant. We did tell the desk representative when we checked out, just in case they didn't know about the above. Make sure to check for the sheet for the pull out if you are going to use it and check the number of towels because we didn't have the sheet or enough towels for 4 people. We just went to the desk and they got them for us, but just a heads up. I probably would give this 3.5 stars if I could do halfs on here, but I can't.

The staff was very accommodating and pleasant. I enjoyed my stay and plan on staying again next time I come to Columbia.

Pretty uneventful stay. Nothing outstanding, but the room was huge and the gym was decent (tv didn't work though— or maybe the just the remote). Breakfast very typical of this type— not much to eat for those on healthier regimes. I had eggs— that's it. A tour bus had stayed there and the food was often cleaned out quickly. Timing was everything, but the staff did all they could. This is my second review of this hotel. There was a funky smell in the room when the freezing AC was turned down. Once I was in bed I figured it out. It was dog, wet dog cologne. Just as bad as a smoking room. In the morning, picking up my shoes, there was dog hair all intertwined in the carpet. Smell confirmed. Upon my first review, I got an email from BW stating their generic concern at my review without stating my specific, but please stay with them again. I stay in hotels right now about ⅓-½ the year and BW has been a staple. This doesn't change my option that the chain is a decent value, but its disappointing that they couldn't even respond more specifically, not that I expected a response, but please don't pretend they care.

I have booked at this Hampton Inn once before. As was the case last time, the hotel was extremely clean, very quiet, and very convenient for travelers along I-70 like myself. There is some amount of noise from the interstate, though you can ask for a room on the other side of the hotel to help limit this. The staff were very friendly, professional, and responsive when I called or had questions. The breakfast was very well done. Even though they didn't have one or two items I would have liked, there were plenty of options to choose from. The staff member overseeing the breakfast area (who I recognized from my last visit) was very friendly and did an excellent job at keeping the area well stocked and clean. Overall, this hotel is clearly very well managed. I will continue to book here and would recommend it to anyone else planning to visit Columbia.

Service is very good!

My wife and I visited Columbia for the first time recently to visit our son at Mizzou. We wanted something relatively close to the university. After checking lots of reviews, we settled on the Country Inn & Suites. We’ve had previous experiences with this brand before, and were very pleased with this one as well. What stood out- the location. It’s right off of the interstate which is very convenient, and it’s also about a ten minute drive to the university. Hop on the interstate and you're about 2 hours to St. Louis or 2 hours to Kansas City. You do get a little traffic noise from the interstate, but not enough to disrupt our sleep. As you turn in from the front, the hotel is located behind a Drury Inn so don’t let that confuse you. There’s a TGIFriday’s within a short walk as well. Cleanliness- Our room was very well kept, and the staff did an excellent job of cleaning both days. Security- Rooms use a key card to enter. The surrounding area seemed safe, and the parking lots were well lit. We stayed in a king studio suite, which was very spacious. I was so glad that we chose this option. Breakfast was good both days- biscuits and gravy, 2 waffle makers, 4 cereal options, yogurt, muffins, toast, bagels. Quite a few things from which to choose. All in all, we were thoroughly pleased with this stay. We will certainly stay here again the next time that we visit Columbia.

We came for a baseball tournament in Columbia. The room had plenty of space for the kids to spread out and ”hang” out. We liked how the shower and bathroom were away from the bedroom and the bathroom sink outside of the closed bathroom door. They served awesome breakfast and the ladies working the breakfast went above and beyond making extras and requests from their guests. The staff at the desk were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. It may be a little dated, but it was clean and we felt safe! The AC worked great and there was free guest laundry which was an extra perk!

We found this hotel to be very clean, quiet, and had excellent customer service. The location was great for heading downtown for shopping and dinning. Presently it appeared that the parking lot was soon to be in the process of repairs. That being the case, it will certainly give the hotel a better outside appearance. We will be back.

Fantastic hotel stay, centrally located in downtown Columbia, Missouri near shops, restaurants and bars. This is a boutique hotel all rooms are large and spacious. Hugh bathrooms, with soaking tub, large showers, and bath robes. The front desk staff, housekeeping and valet parking were excellent. Best views of downtown and campus. We were treated as VIP's every time we stay here we can't wait to come back. Glenn's Café in the hotel is excellent for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Highly recommend to our friends. Tip: Use their valet parking worth every penny. (March 2-5, 2023)
