Cheapest hotel in the area. Room was not the cleanest but, that's to be expected in a cheap hotel. bed was okay, sheets were clean. AC and cable TV worked well.Front desk was not very polite as were none of the other people. If you pay for a cheap hotel, don't expect a lot and this hotel will be okay for a night or two.

You get what you pay for.

Sometimes when you book a cheap room, you are pleasantly surprised.  Not here. I only booked a room here because it was the only room I could find, as Columbia was in a prime spot in the path of the eclipse. Check in took a long time, it seemed that neither of the two people at the front desk knew how to operate the computer system.  Neither of them smiled or displayed any friendliness.  There was no hairdryer in the room, although they did lend me one.  The room appeared clean enough until you looked in the corners and under the bed.  They had a pool, but there was a sign that said "Pool Closed". When I asked why it was closed, they said they forgot to remove the sign, but it was ok to use the pool.  The sign never came down, not even the next day. There was only one dirty looking lounge chair and some creaky metal chairs. Inexplicably, they had several smoking rooms right in between non-smoking rooms. They offered continental breakfast, but the coffee pot did not look clean, and there wasn't much to eat besides packaged mini muffins, dry cereal in containers that didn't look clean, and some heavily speckled over-ripe bananas.  The worst part was when we came back from eating breakfast elsewhere, our key card did not work.  It was still an hour before check out time and I went to the office to get a new key card.  I had to go back 4 times, each time they gave me a new key that did not work.  They finally sent someone with a master key to open the door for us.  He was apologetic, but when I said I'd like a key so that don't lock myself out while loading my car, he said he'd be back with one.  It was now about 10 minutes to check out time and I still had to pack up and shower.  When I told the man who brought the key that since I wasted all this time with the key, I needed extra time to check out.  He was adamant that I had to be out at check out time and that I would be charged if I wasn't out of the room on time.  When he saw how angry I was, he said "Don't worry, I'll only charge you $5."  After some mutual threatening, he backed down and did not charge me.

Cheap hotel near the interstate

I booked this hotel with Choice Hotel rewards points while I was traveling.  It requires less points than most Choice hotel accommodations. It was average.  The room had been partially updated but the TV reception was fuzzy. The furniture was extremely scratched and the tile floor was rough. Check-in was ok but the ladies working had to discuss and think about what room to give us. It was ok for a one-night stay.

Lack of cleaniness

I had to move rooms two times bc the a/c wasn't working correctly but at least they accommodated me. After three rooms total, finally found an a/c that worked correctly.

Hot hot hot

stayed two nights - could not believe I had to justify why my room needed to be serviced after night 1. The maintenance guy followed me around. Light over sink burned out - told front desk the first evening there; at check-out still not replaced.

go elsewhere

This place was dirty, old and dilapidated.  I only stayed here because I was tired and they were pet friendly.  They do not serve one star.  If you ever see me here again - please shoot me. Save your money and spend just a little more for a better place.

What a Dump

We was traveling late stopped at these Econo Lodge, got to the room to check for  roaches and bedbugs as I always do. In a matter of seconds there were several roaches crawling underneath the bed!!! Do not stay! Then manager gave us a refund but tried to get us to stay in a room just 3 doors down from the roach infested one. No!

Bugs bugs bugs

Looked like an Eastern European war zone. If this had not been prepaid and I had arrived in daylight, I would not even have stopped in the parking lot. The exterior was run down, with sections of unpainted walls visible. About 1/3 of the parking lot was gravel patches. All vending and ice machined had been removed to the lobby. "Non-smoking" means currently not on fire. Smells like smoke is pumped into the rooms. There was garbage in the bathroom when we arrived (old beer cans and bottles). We had roaches in the room. There was debris in various piles in the parking lot and in corners of the hotel.As for the neighborhood, I will avoid this exit on I-26 going forward.Were there any positives? Yes. I lived to write this review. No bed bugs. I did not catch any weird diseases, and I am POSITIVE that I will never stay here again.
