Hotels Near Animal Science Research Center in Columbia

Wonderful location, accommodations, and amenities. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the restaurant and rooftop bar. The only thing we were hoping there was and there wasn’t, was a microwave in the rooms. Otherwise we had an incredible weekend and loved being so close to campus and all the action of homecoming on Broadway.

We stay at this hotel every year when we visit but I think we'll try the Broadway next. The hotel is pretty, it's in a perfect location, parking is fairly easy (except the height doesn't fit our truck in the garage so we have to find it on the street). The restaurant and bar in the hotel are great... One issue is that it's old and regularly things do not work. On previous trips it's been the elevator. This trip it was the air conditioner. For an entire weekend we couldn't get our room cooler than 79 degrees. We asked about it multiple times but unfortunately the desk folks can't do anything if it's broken. The restaurant had the same issue so we ate breakfast sweating lol. Unfortunately sleeping in heat doesn't work when we're paying $300+ / night for a suite.

Our stay was EXCELLENT! This was my first time staying at Wingate by Wyndham and they did not disappoint! From pre-checkin, arriving to now departing…TOP NOTCH! I am a cruiser and beyond our rooms onboard…I’ve never experienced such a clean room/bathroom! The entrances of hotels are most times Top Notch but the rooms struggle a bit with cleanness! NOT at Wingate by Wyndham…I sanitize/clean any where we stay and this was the absolute 1st time…I never felt like I was cleaning the room! The room was well dusted, organized, fresh and CLEAN! Bed linens were clean & fresh…even the headboard was not dusty (WINNING)! The continental breakfast was great as well…there’s actually meat with it! I now consider Wingate by Wyndham to be one of my Favorites & 1st choice! THANK YOU 🥰

I have been registered here at the Keen St Staybridge Suite since December 12th, 2023. My stay will take me through March 15th, 2024. I have enjoyed the hot breakfast meals offered every day, as well as the social meals from Monday through Wednesday evenings. It has been and continues to be pleasant to enter act with the Staybridge Suite personnel. They seem to go out of their way to do whatever necessary to make my stay as pleasant as possible. I would say without a doubt, I have witnessed first-hand how the Team goes to great lengths to assist me with any and all my needs with regard to my experience while here. This is why I feel compelled to add light to what I experienced by another guest just this morning. This guest is also a loner term guest, and over the weeks I have come to classify this particular guest as nothing more than a user and natural complainer. This morning for instance I overheard her complaining the Rasin bread was too stale and that someone should be reprimanded for allowing stale bread to be left out for guests. I also noted that she had her dish piled high and enjoying exactly what she was complaining about. I have also noticed the efforts expelled by this Hotel's staff to make the presentation of the offered meals as enticing as possible. While the guest who was complaining to the Hotel manager, the manager walked over and removed the so-called stale bread from the bread box and drop it into the trash can. To be sure, there was absolutely nothing wrong that bread as I had a piece of it on my plate, and I ate it right down. I highly suggest that should a traveler find the need for a GREAT HOTEL to stay at, their first choice should definitely be the STAYBRIGE SUITE HOTEL located just off Keene St, in Columbia, Mo. It would be to their benefit to experience the finest service I have had the pleasure to experience, from the clean rooms, full Gym, swimming pool right through housekeeping and dedicated cleaning staff and many amenities the facility has to offer. Should someone find the need of a great hotel experience in the Columbia, Mo. area, I highly recommend they consider the Staybridge Suite just off Keens St.

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.

I booked this room for a getaway with my boyfriend Feb 17-18. Was excited about the whirlpool suite. Walked in, there was hair in the bathroom & in the microwave. The whirlpool looked a bit unappealing but was happy to use after cleaning it (and happy it was actually the room we booked online). We asked front desk for cleaning supplies (understood they wouldn’t give us any) & ended up going to the gas station for lysol spray. After mentioning the things in the room, the front desk staff (FERNANDO + other) offered to switch us to a different room. We went to check it out (room 204) & the whirlpool looked a bit dirty so we elected to keep the room we originally had. Aside from that ordeal, the front desk said our fire alarm went off, but we were watching Netflix & relaxing while the front desk staff then Fire Department knocked on our door. We offered for them to come in & both elected not to. We then went downstairs & told the front desk staff (around 1-2am) that we weren’t smoking. FERNANDO told us that we absolutely were smoking (that’s the only way the alarm would go off) & that he would charge my card & that he could kick us out. He was very rude to us & visibly flustered. Not an ounce of customer service. Was angry with us from the moment he saw us. He stated if housekeeping found anything, he would charge the card (illegally) - WHICH HE DID, keep reading. We went upstairs to try to enjoy the rest of our night but it was already completely ruined. The next morning I heard the alarm (the one in the hall that alerts the front desk what room it is). About 30 minutes after, maintenance calls our room. They told us the alarm alerted them (once again) that it was our room. I told them to come in & left the door cracked until they arrived. They both verified it was no smoking-tall Black (male maintenance guy + white housekeeper) we were sleeping anyways. We then hurried to gather our things so we could leave. At checkout, we notified day staff of our problems, who verified “Hector” (a part of night staff) does not have great customer service. They apologized, however FERNANDO went ahead & put that smoking fee charge on my card before we even checked out for the morning (ILLEGALLY)! The manager (white blonde lady) + front staff (Scott I believe) took the charge or charges off. Had I not mentioned it, the charge or charges would’ve still been on my card (illegally). I was very let down by that. This is completely unacceptable all around & not once were we rude, even made sure the room was cleaned to avoid further malicious (illegal) charges. We did not get offered any type of compensation, only apologies. Room 303 is where we stayed. We truly did go there just to have a good get away in Columbia. I’m 26 & travel all the time, as well as have manners + respect for spaces especially ones I spend money to rent. My boyfriend is 30. I'm not sure if staff thought we were kids, incompetent or what.

A very nice property that is very well kept. Our room had everything we needed for our stay and was very comfortable and we experienced no issues. they used dove bathroom products which was nice and the beds were very comfortable. The one thing about this property is that it is huge, so plan on doing a lot of walking to your room if it is at the opposite end of the complex. The front desk staff could probably smile a lot more. At check in and check out, they just were not very friendly, though certainly not disrespectful in any way. On checking out and requesting a copy of my receipt, she indicated that her printer was broke. Maybe print it from another printer? Parking lot was large and very well lit. You are literally surrounded by food establishments if you want to go out for dinner. Overall, good experience and would stay here again.

We went for dinner the first night and received excellent service. Diana heard my husband and me saying we should have added fries. She said she’d let the kitchen know for us. The next morning, I received a delicious breakfast and fast service from the staff. Everyone was very polite and friendly.
