Stayed for drill. Property is in a nice area but us definitely dated. Would consider staying again, but I concur with previous posters; they do have a roach problem

Review of Extended Stay America Suites Columbia Ft Jackson South Carolina August 24, 2020. First the positive. The motel was a few minutes away from Fort Jackson. Now for the negative. We were charged more than double the going rate of $55.00 simply because this Extended Stay Facility was close to Fort Jackson on our granddaughter’s graduation day. The room they gave us was on the third floor facing I77 traffic which disturbed our sleep all night long. Then at 5 am the city garbage truck woke us up with its loud back up beeping and its banging the dumpster after we finally got a bit of sleep. We expected a two-room suite, a two room with a living room and a full kitchen as usually advertised, but this was an old one room place worse than a Motel 6. The rustic two burner stove and refrigerator in the kitchenette looked like something out of a 1950’s movie set and there were no kitchen utensils like advertised. The Hotel.com website said “Full Breakfast” which was a lie for when we got there, we were told all they had was a grab and go bag, and there were no bags just granola bars, muffins, oatmeal packet, cookies; just junky stuff. The lounge chair extended out, but refused to return. The door was so poorly hung that you could see light coming through the open crack at the bottom meaning any critter could crawl into your room. For the amount we paid we were expecting a full Extended Stay place. What a disappointment this place was.

My stay at the Motel 6 has overall been good. Overall I could have gotten better room service everyday. I’ve been there for 14 days now..... been the same each an everyday I’ve been there with the room service.

As someone who travels occasionally with a larger dog, I'm limited to what hotels I am able to use. The only chain I know of that allows my 70-lb black lab to stay at every location is Red Roof Inn. The room amenities and pricing are not the issue I have with Red Roof Inns. Neither is the front desk staff. In almost all my stays, I'm usually struck by HOW POORLY the rooms are cleaned and maintained. Case in point is the Red Roof Inn Columbia East. I entered my room and discovered that the 'wood' floor was 'movie theater sticky'. Also there was a splatter of white liquid that had dried on the television set. I can't imagine that anyone coming in to clean the room could have missed these two issues. Because of a problem with the room locks on our side of the building (apparently I wasn't the only patron who was locked out of their room after using the key once) I was upgraded to a remodeled room on the front of the main building. The room wasn't sticky (and no dried liquid on the TV), but the AC / heater had a broken plastic cover that hung off on one side, and initially the unit didn't work at all (I discovered that the GFI had tripped on the plug and was able to reset it). Again, items that any half-hearted attempt at cleaning of the room should have identified for repair. On the bright side, the front desk staff was very considerate, and even held onto the dog dish I had left in the room until I passed through Columbia on my way home two weeks later. They are responsible for probably the second and third star in my rating.

Housekeeping was dismal. This is a pet-friendly hotel and as such it would be important to clean those rooms carefully. We found pet hair in the corners upon arriving, and a dirty used towel on the bathroom door hook. One ”clean” towel had mold spots on it and another was, at best, a rag with large holes. Upon reporting this to the desk they were apologetic and issued new towels but explained the housekeeping on a language problem with the staff. In retrospect, I probably should have asked for a discount on my bill or voucher on my next Wyndham reservation. I would expect more from the La Quinta brand.

I stayed here for three consecutive nights because I was on a business trip. It is a very cost-effective hotel in South Carolina. The front desk service is also great. I will choose to stay in this hotel next time I come.

My Husband and I really enjoyed are stay. It was nice and quite. The beds and pillows we're very comfortable. Andy and Crystal we're very sweet and friendly. We will go back and stay again soon.
