Baymont by Wyndham Columbia Fort Jackson
Clean, breakfast was good, but the second day I went to eat with my family around 8am and everything was gone. Only one tray or eggs and bacon for so many guesses is unacceptable. I asked the lady at the reception and she told me that she is working solo and that was it. Tbh she needed help.
