Baymont by Wyndham Columbia, MO

Baymont by Wyndham Columbia, MO

8/10 Good
"Room was clean. Breakfast was from 6:00am to 9:30am. We arrived for breakfast at 8:30am. They were out of orange juice, no mix to make waffles, very little eggs or sausage gravy left. We did enjoy the stay and we would definitely stay there again."
