The hotel had a lot of bad ratings, especially with regards to the pool, but we found it quite nice. I stayed here with a group of friends for a short getaway from St. Louis back in January. We just wanted somewhere convenient to the shops around Mizzou that had an indoor pool. The Wingate was it! We had a... more

We were in Columbia for a family gathering, and just needed a place to sleep and get ready, etc. For the money, this place was not too shabby. ($79, then bumped up to $99 for weekend) Room itself (first floor) was spacious and pretty clean, but I will concur with a previous reviewer... there were LOTS of cobwebs in corners,... more

Because of the previous couple of reviews, I didn't bring a swim suit. My mistake! The pool, hot tub, and surrounding areas were all spotless with a nice supply of nicely folded towels. My wife and I had a 2nd floor room for a 4-day weekend at a AAA daily rate of $64.80 + $7.50 tax. Contrary to the other... more

Most of the time when people write reviews for motel or hotel, they only do it when they have a bad experience. I am writing reviews of every motel I stay in to give as unbiased of a review that I can. The motel reviewed here is a moderately-priced budget inn, and it is unrealistic to expect it to be... more

This hotel is fine. The people are nice, the rooms are OK, and the breakfast is the typical muffin and bagel spread. This is not a place to visit if you are looking for top-notch accomodations, but if you just want a bed in a clean room, this is a good place. more

Originally, check-in was easy, however, we quickly dropped our stuff off in our room and left to go see family we were visiting without inspecting the room. That night, we returned to the hotel and went to bed- I put my hair clip down on the ottoman next to the bed and saw ants swarm it. At first I just... more

Room was very clean, large. Has a refrigerator (empty for your use), microwave, coffeemaker, hair dryer, internet access, in-room safe. We didn't check out the pool; just there to sleep and go see Mizzou. Breakfast included was much more than just continental....included egg patties, sausage, biscuit/gravy, make your own waffles, cereal, fruit, yogurt, bagels,muffins, drinks. Also, shower was hot with... more

The Wingate was new and one of the nicest motels in Columbia - but that was a few years ago. Over the years I have stayed several times at this motel. The pool/hot tub is broken the majority of the time. The cleanliness of the hotel leaves much to be desired. Leaky faucets, doors that jam, shower rods that are... more

The beautiful lobby of the Wingate was the only pleasant part of my stay. My room lacked soap, shampoo, hangers, coffee. The shower curtain had 14 inches(yes, I measured it) of vertical mold growing on the inside and the bedspread had several burned spots on the top. The accummulated dirt on the inside of my air conditioner flew into the... more
