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”.

Worst place ever
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

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.

This property is right on the side of a short-cut road that ALL Columbians know and use, so the traffic noise is really bad until around 10:30 or 11:00 p.m. and then it begins to quiet down. But, the rooms are always clean and everything you need is in the room.

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.

Nice stay for the price and location close to base and other things to do. There was a gap in the door that seemed iffy, but we had absolutely no issues with our stay. Safe and no body bothered us. We had a late night check in, no problems and simple check out. Cable tv, coffee maker, iron, blow dryer and mini frdidge. Room was always clean everyday. Did not have the breakfast as advertised though.

The front counter area was piled high with lots of plastic bags, boxes, cleaning supplies, and used food containers. Gross. Check-in, even though I had reserved online, took about ten minutes of the front desk worker just staring at the computer screen. The door to the room did not close all the way. The shower just had a small stream of water--not enough to wash your hair with. Yes, this is a budget motel, but still, this was really below par. I do not recommend.
