We arrived to find a couple of other frustrated guests that had apparently been there for an hour calling the front desk, they left in frustration. Someone finally appeared while we were about to leave. The rooms were motel style open to the outside, and daylight was clearly visible around the door. The bathtub was dirty. We stayed to sleep one night and left early the next morning. The included breakfast I cannot comment on but it certainly did not look promising.

We need it to stay close to fort Jackson so this place was perfect it was very clean the only bad thing I noticed is that the door of the room didn’t lock quite right other than that everything else was ok
The hotel was not bad. Staff was nice. East check in. We had some questionable people staying on the floor under us. But we didn't have any problems from them. Area was nice. Stores and restaurants fairly close.
Cancer our reservation at 4:00 p.m. did not give us time to get there we arrived at 6:30 to find out that they cancel our room at 4:00 p.m. and check-in was at 3:00 would not recommend it look very dumpy and very scary
Super dirty, fake information on Expedia . Incorrect room was Gaven at check in.
No breakfast provided at property while it says free breakfast on Expedia .
Unhelpful, poor manner staff.

The staff was nice, friendly, and prompt to handle issues. The hotel is old and could use more updates. I was extremely upset upon arrival but my feelings changed after the second day. Many locals live at the hotel. The beds are hard. The rooms smell stuffy and smoky. The bed covers have holes in them. But the staff was nice and helpful.
When we came into the room the floor was super sticky, and the room had a nasty smell.
The few days we stayed you always had to close the bathroom because it was smelling like weed 24/7 , and we had a child with us . I will never book here again
This econo lodge is by far the worst experience I've ever had... the facility should be condemned the bath tub shower was loose to the foundation, very unsafe. Every time I flushed the toilet I had to hold the handle down for it to work and the sewer gases coming out of the drains was horrible, the door had been kicked in so many times it literally has a 1/4 inch gap halfway around it..
This place is at best a rundown crakhouse.
The first room given to me had cigarette burns in the bedsheet, front door was damaged, no water pressure in the bathtub, tub very slippery, hair dryer broken, outlet next to sink broken, iron was missing, was very difficult to get someone to help at the front desk, front desk very cluttered, no continental breakfast as advertised, steps to get to 2nd floor were “risky”.

Traffic is noisy until around 10:30 p.m. and then it goes away. This is because the property is on a road that is a much-used shortcut known to area residents. Rooms are always clean, floors too!

I stay overnight in Columbia to avoid commuting one hour from home to work once a week. This Econo Lodge is very close (4 minutes) from my workplace. This was my fifth stay. All good experiences. The rooms are clean, linens clean, easy parking. There is much traffic noise until around 10:30 p.m. and then it goes away.
