What guests think

Reviews of Quality Inn Columbia Airport describe a budget stay with very mixed experiences, where many guests appreciate friendly, accommodating staff and convenient access to the airport, interstate, and nearby dining, but cleanliness and maintenance concerns are frequently reported.

Cleanliness issues are common, including dirty floors and linens, mold, and pests such as roaches and occasional bed bugs. Rooms are dated with worn furnishings, broken fixtures, thin walls, odors, and often unreliable Wi‑Fi. Breakfast feedback ranges from decent to poor with limited or unreplenished items. Expect a low-cost, convenient stopover if priorities are price and location, but check room condition on arrival.

No Wi-Fi available. Nice staff. But old. Moisture, rusty, moldy, and cigarette smokey. Enter rooms from the outside. They offer “day” and “one hour” rates👀. Definitely a MOTEL!!

Bed was clean and good, other than that building is very old and ambience is very poor. The water from the shower faucet started brownish, there wasn't enough towels. The location has a tesla charger but not available for guests. Overall might be a good spot for pitstop to take a nap.

This property is under renovations. It is an older property located convenient to the interstate. We stayed at the property on our last visit to Willie B. The property is convenient to the stadium on the late night games. The price point is within reason, and it is safe and was quiet.

The service at the hotel was good. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. He even went back to the laundry room to assist me, which I appreciated. However, the hotel room floor, itself was not clean. It was so dirty that we had to wear slippers the entire time. At first, when we didn't, our feet became very dirty, and we had to wash them twice and it was too late to switch rooms/to complain at the moment. In addition, the shampoo in the room appeared to be half-used. Thats why I ranked it at average. + However, the hotel

Our room was very dirty and outdated. Furniture was torn. There was what looked like dried blood on the walls. The refrigerator did not close and microwave hadn’t been cleaned. Toiletries were not even full. The only thing that was clean was our sheets. I should have just left but there was nowhere nearby available. Someone from the corporate company needs to visit and check it out. It really puts choice hotel to shame. I would like a refund but I’m not sure who to contact.

This was the filthiest room I’ve ever been in! The outlets were coming off of the walls! The paint was peeling off of the doors and walls! All of the bedding and linen was stained and had burn holes all over! The floors hadn’t been cleaned for a very long time! I took pictures to send to Quality inns Corporate office! Absolutely horrible! There were no more rooms available in the area, or I would have gone elsewhere!

I know I selected a lower price hotel, but dang. The pictures on Expedia were ••NOT•• representative of the property. The pictures on Expedia were clean and lovely, the property was NOT. The walls had odd brown splotches. The linens appeared clean but stained. The room smelled STRONGLY of the flowery-scented cleaner. The chair in the room was threadbare, all the vinyl was picked off. And they were stingy w the bath linens- 2 people, 1 hand towel, 1 washcloth.

Booked or a four night, five day stay. Ultimately selected because of hotels central location. At check in, I was given the exact room I booked. I did double check to make sure I was receiving a non-smoking room as requested. The room was within the interior portion, with the room entrances within a hallway on the second level. Around 11pm the first night, I had to call the office due to the entire hallway being full of marijuana smoke, which was filtering into my hotel room. Staff did speak with the culprits, but there was smoking that continued throughout the night and through the morning before the day laborers left for the day’s work. I requested a room change, considering I was required to work each day I was there. Doing so with such little sleep wasn’t in the plans. The staff was very understanding and offered a room change. The room was smaller with an exterior facing door entrance, on the ground level. There were no more issues with smoke the rest of my stay. Internet was unreliable and not high speed. Connection continually lost throughout the day - ended up working a Starbucks down the street. There does seem to be a high amount of traffic all hours of the night. Very thin walls and floors with no expectation of ‘quiet hours.’ Great, clean place for a quick, affordable stop. Would not recommend for any type of prolonged stay for work or pleasure.

I have never seen a hotel without room darkening curtains. This one did not and s bright light shone in our room all night. The shower head blew up and flooded the bathroom. The staff (Krishna) was right on it, but my clothes were all wet. They wouldn't give us a new room. We waited for a new shower to be installed. Doors were slamming until midnight. No sleep. I couldn't wait to checkout and I won't be back.

Exactly what you’d expect for this priced hotel. Unfortunately, our room was right next to the exterior entrance door and every time it opened it Squeaked very loud and slammed shut. We were in town for a USC football game so there was a lot of activity and very little sleep. Not bad other than that but this was a big, ad and unresolved issue.

Waited about an hour to check in because there was no one at the desk, the same person that’s on check-in is also cleaning the room. Reported to them that the TV wasn’t working the same day I checked in and nothing was done about it. It was a not working the entire stay. Bedsheets were dirty. Did not come equipped with the right amount of towels. The queen size beds are actually full size beds. The rooms are very outdated. Overall, the AC work.

The lady at check in was very rude I travel 95% of the time and I stay often at Quality Inn however after this time that may change because I worked all night long for 10 hours and then drove 2 hours to get here from Columbia and I got here early so I asked the lady it I could check in at 12:30 and I would hang by the pool or something until actual check in time but she denied me that opportunity and I guess thought it would be better if I waited in my vehicle somewhere with it being 100 degrees outside so I had to wait 2.5 hours in a hot vehicle

The hotel was ok to stay at for a few nights. Most places we usually check into we’ll let us check in early with out a charge, they charged us $80 bucks to check in early and we had just came off the night shift, we also asked for a late check out and they gave us 30 minutes. Not staying here again.

We stayed here on a South Carolina football game weekend. Hotel prices in Columbia were sky high if you could find a room at all. This place is about 4 miles from the stadium and had very reasonable rates. It is an upgraded old motel. For what it is, it was really pretty nice, and the staff were very nice and helpful. It is a great affordable option for a game weekend. I would stay there again if I come back under the same circumstances.

We arrived in the wee hours, exhausted from Hurricane Helene-related layovers and canceled flights, and happy to have a place to grab a few hours sleep before trying to make it back home. Alas, the room, despite being reasonably clean, was worn out, threadbare, and not close to being worth the $100 we paid. The air conditioner was broken and barely brought the room temp down to the low 80s. The included breakfast was in a converted motel room that could only seat about 15 people, which was no problem since the eggs, sausage, yogurt, milk, and fruit were gone 45 minutes before breakfast time ended and no one seemed to be replenishing them. The best thing about our stay was that checkout was a breeze. And a relief.

We had stayed at a handicapped friendly room, room 110, a few days before this visit. They put us in room 114., Even better! The bracket holding the showerhead was broken and so it was hard to clean yourself. There was a hairdryer unit in this room, 114. Breakfast is adequate, but they didn’t have any pancake mix, so you were forced to accept toast or bagels.
