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.

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.

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.

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!

They were very good al; what they do for the price. The hotel needs a facelift and it looks old. the room was clean but the furniture is dated. the televisions were old. I think that it is priced a little high for such a cheap run down hotel. Choice seems to not care about it. I prefer the other chain of hotels. Days inn is about the same price and it has a lobby computer.
