The room was comfortable.
The microwave and regrigerator worked and the bathroom was fine too. Plenty of electrical outlets to charge phone and use my CPAP machine. Breakfast room was under construction, but the manager did make coffee so I could take some coffee for my road trip. There was no hair dryer, but called the front desk and they brought me one. They were very accomodating.

I did not stay there... I was to be given a refund .
That night my mother made the reservation and call to cancel. The hotel said no problem when you contact them. The reservation was to be made at American Inn on Charleston hwy.

Good value for a one night stay. Rooms are dimly lit, but there's plenty of lamps, so it's not a major problem. Tub was kind of gross. People just hung out in their cars or in the parking lot.

The saying is:"You get , what you pay for". Not in this case. You get much less.! There was no breakfast and the "reception" is literally a hole in the external wall. A little window with a plastic divider to register . When asked about the breakfast and the way the reception is situated, I was told, that this is done because of the "covid" situation.
In my view it is a false advertising on the Hotels site.
This was the first time we experienced this.
My recommendation for the future travellers is to avoid booking this hotel.
There are many other hotels availabe for the same cost of one night stay in this area that have all, that is advertised.

It didn't look like much from the road, the property is older, but the rooms were updated, clean and comfortable. Not fancy, but quiet, and a good stay in the Columbia area.

Older building, but in ok shape. You could see the sun & feel the wind from the spaces around the door. Must check in from outside at a little window. Gave us a key that didn’t work so had to go after another one. No breakfast of any type even though the description says there is. You get what you paid for.

The place was great for what I needed. A place to sleep that was very cost efficient. The place was quiet, clean, Wifi worked great in the room and it is close to the highway. No one hanging around or making noise. Parking lot was sufficiently light without excess light bleeding into the room. Check in was efficient and pleasant. The only down side, No coffee. However the are two donut shops within a mile. Except for the lack of coffee, probability the best, "cost efficient" place to sleep I have encountered in the Columbia area.

The building was not much to look at. Dark and rather ugly looking. Needs a new bright coat of paint. The room was decent, but there were dirt and cobwebs in the corners. Rooms need a thorough cleaning. The location is very convenient to interstate I-77. Many services are nearby.

Customer service was excellent. Friendly caring staff. Would recommend to all my family and friends. As a disabled veteran with PTSD and anxiety issues, it was so refreshing to have a great, outstanding staff who take pride in their establishment.

This is not a high end, 5 star motel, but it is a great place to lay your head for the night. If you want 5 star, you have to pay for that, so if you think you are getting champagne on beer budget, this motel is not for you. However if you want a clean room with just the basics with friendly staff, then this place is worth the lower price. The free breakfast, when were there was ok, but I wasn't expecting much anyways. It consisted of muffins, bread with toaster and jelly, cold cereal, milk, juice, coffee and fresh fruit. There was apples, half the apples were too soft, like they were rotten inside, but the other half were nice and firm like apples should be, so definitely inspect the fruit before eating. the 2 we ate were good.
The beds were comfortable enough with clean linens, a mini fridge, microwave, TV and dresser was in the room. Normal old motel smell, but nothing offensive. The dresser wasn't in brand new shape, but not trashy looking. The heat (we stayed in Dec) heated up the room quickly. We would stay here again.

There was a roach on the wall when I walked in my room. Another dead one behind the nightstand. And another in my vehicle when I left in the morning. My nonsmoking room smelled like cigarette smoke.
