What guests think
At Clarion Inn Columbia Airport, reviews describe a budget stay with significant cleanliness and maintenance issues, mixed service, and a few positive notes about friendly staff, some clean rooms, and a convenient location near the airport and highways.
Many reports cite dirty linens, pests, mold, and strong odors. Rooms are often described as old with broken TVs or AC, faulty locks, and lingering smoke smells; noise and safety concerns around the property are also mentioned. Amenities like the airport shuttle and pool appear unreliable, and breakfast is frequently minimal or stale. Expect a very basic, low-cost stay with variable quality.

The beds and pillows were comfortable. The room had dog food pieces on the floor. The curtains had stains on them, the bed cover had burn holes in it. There were only 2 towels, 1 wash rag, and 1 hand towel in a 2 queen bed room. there was 1/2 roll of toilet paper when we arrived. We asked to get more towels and they said they didn't have any. The pool was shut down by the health department.

The gentleman that checked us in was the only good thing about the stay/room. He was very pleasant and helpful. The room itself was awful! Food was left in the refrigerator from a previous tenant. The freezer had something spoiled in it that had froze in it. There was one chair in a double room (two beds) one coffee cup one hand towel. My husband tried to call the front desk multiple times with no answer. He also went to the front desk. No one there. He yelled “hello” numerous times with no answer. When we checked out the women was in her cell phone paying no attention to what I was telling her. I would not recommend this model to my worst enemy!!! The breakfast was pretty much nonexistent! Unless you count the stale cereal! Couldn’t even find someone to change rooms to a cleaner room. Awful!!!

Water line was broken and was not informed about this issue at check-in. Went back to ask about the water and the front desk staff seemed annoyed that I was asking questions about the lack of water. Water did come back on later in the evening but it was discolored and I didn’t know if it was safe to drink or bathe in. Room was dark and dirty. The sheets, towels, walls, and lampshade had stains. Smoke detector unit was ripped out. Safety latch on the hotel door did not work. No breakfast was provided, except for coffee- which was cold. Shuttle to the airport was out of service as well.

According to the website there was airport transportation. We called the hotel over and over again. No answer! Finally after waiting for almost 2 hours for an Uber we arrived at the hotel only for the desk clerk to tell us they discontinued the shuttle!! They put me and my child in rooms on the second floor on the other side of the building! No elevator. I am disabled. got in the room.. smoke detector hanging offf the wall, phone and light switches were dirty!called front desk.. NO ANSWER!! We called Expedia and told them we were leaving in the morning! We would have left that night but it was 1am! Very disappointed! These hotels are usually better

Foreign splatter on bathroom wall. Sink was plugged up. Rug was not vacuumed. Bar soap remnant left in drain from previous guest. Bathroom door was severely paint chipped. It was also water damaged and wood was delaminating. Two dirty floss picks left at nightstand. While on bedspread. Guest seat had gross stain on it. TV didn’t work. Morning breakfast bar was a joke. No fresh food. Cereal hadn’t been refreshed. Condiments were mostly empty. I wouldn’t let my dog finish what was left. Orbits rated this 3-1/2 stars but I rate it a zero. I checked out and went somewhere else. I hope I can get a refund for the last night I didn’t stay. That is if anyone reads this review.

DO NOT stay here. We arrived 11pm after driving the entire day, had booked 2 rooms for a family of 7. Check-in was easy. Soon after we entered our 1st-floor rooms, my son came running from his room - he pulled back the sheets and found 2 spiders in the bed. We then checked our beds and there were also spiders, including a web behind one pillow against the headboard! Spiders were found nearly everywhere!! Skinny little things but still. We packed back up, complained, and were given 2 new rooms on the 2nd floor. [While we waited, a couple was also given a new room, no idea why. After we were serviced, the man behind us complained that there was no water.] We inspected carefully and didn't find spiders so we agreed to stay since it was so late. My son realized he didn't have water with him and went to the vending machine - he selected water and was given an expired Fanta - the office exchanged it for water. After we settled and were about to go to bed, my son texted a photo of a roach on the lamp beside his bed. At this point we were so exhausted and it was after midnight so I told him and all to check for bugs once more before going to bed, all food in fridge, etc. and we slept without known issue. In the morning we saw that the towel across the tub was heavily stained, and the towels on the rack were completely worn with holes. We decided to just leave and be done with this place. Bought our own breakfast. Check recent reviews not just the rating - lesson learned!

There was a very loud and rude couple next door we could hear screaming at each other at 4:15 in the morning through the bathroom wall.

I booked a room here last minute, the photos looked like a decent hotel. The room was absolutely filthy. There was a hole in the bathroom wall that I could see into the ceiling through. I do not think this room has been cleaned not only for me but after multiple stays of other people, there were splatters all over the walls and doors. I got out of the shower and there was a cockroach crawling down the wall. Even if staying at a budget hotel, there should be a level of expected cleanliness. Someone tried opening my door around 1am. The curtains were covered in stains. It was missing furniture, and lamps. The shower curtain and towels were stained. I’m pretty sure the sheets were not fresh either. This is not a “3 star” hotel and I have no idea how they more than a 0 for reviews. This place is a health code violation, I have photos of everything and look forward to hearing back from you.

The staff were friendly, polite, and helpful. Breakfast was limited to yogurt and a few cold sandwiches (microwave available) coffee was decent and dining area was nice. The property was well-landscaped, outside area generally very nice plenty of parking space. Entrance and lobby well-kept. Our sheets were clean, mattress was bedbug-free and the beds were very comfortable and soft. This was one of six LGBTQ-welcoming lodgings we could find in the area, which was the main reason we chose it. We needed help getting into our room, the card reading lock was in disrepair and opening it every time took several minutes. The deadbolt did not close. Blackout curtains were very effective but covered in stains. The floor lamp didn't work and bedside table lamp was missing a lightbulb. There was some sort of ongoing beeping outside the entirety of our stay that sounded like it might have been an anti-homeless deterrent that we could hear all night over the air conditioner. We would stay again if we found ourselves in Columbia needing lodging, as prices were more than reasonable and none of the issues we had were serious enough to need a room change. The fact that the staff were kind to a lesbian couple with one trans partner carries a lot of weight for us, especially in times like these. If you are LGBTQ, in need of affordable lodgings, and can look over a few relatively inconsequential maintenance issues, the Airport Clarion is worth your consideration.

Horrible stay! In 50 years, ive stayed at many places, but never once til now did i truly want my money back. Staff was ridiculous. Had to wait 2 hrs to check in. Then the room they gave us was not cleaned. It had food and trash everywhere and all bed linens in a ball on the floor. Tried to call the desk and phone dont work. Walked back down stairs and informed desk. They didnt believe me. Then gave me another room 2 buildings away (3 building property). I refused, as i just carried all our luggage up the stairs and demanded a room near the first one. They gave me one below it then. This room smelled horrible, sheets were stained, wall had blood stains, blanket had cig burns. Wife brushed her teeth and it took literally 6 hrs for the water to drain down the sink. When we showered we stood in ankle deep dirty water. Went in the office for the advertised breakfast. They had nothing and the desk woman was fighting with a vagrant to leave. The vagrant was hungry. We coukdnt wait to leave. Expedia needs to refund us for this joke of a stay.

No one was even at the front desk for much of the time after I arrived, which was about an hour early; finally left and came back at check-in time, and she still wasn't at the desk. Tried calling a few times, but no one answered. Took over 20 minutes to get me checked in; staff/owner kept complaining about slow system, walking back and forth between PC monitors; had the nerve to take a phone call while I had been waiting too long already. Bathroom had a hole in the wall; exterior steps in need of repair; the door had a crack at the bottom when closed

I did not enjoy my stay here the front desk lady was rude, Because when I first arrived it was 3:30 nobody was at the front desk so I called and messaged in the app no response I waited 30mins, Then when I found her and explained it too her she told me no I wasn't I responded with I arrived at 3:30 and it is now 3:57, I also had a weeding rehearsal to attend to that day in which I was late for, once I checked in my room the sheets had stains on them so I laid on the top sheet with my covers, the heat wouldn't stay on constantly, The fridge wouldn't hold temperature my food was spoiled, The walls and ceilings had stains on them as well, I do not recommend

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I would rate it a solid 5 stars! The staff here are incredibly flexible and accommodating, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests feel welcomed. Their open-minded approach really contributes to a comfortable atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and unwind. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a pleasant stay!

As soon as I walked in the room I reserved I seen it was not clean. The walls were dirty I looked at the bed and the comforter was stained dirty and every single sheet on the bed had spots of stains. I immediately called the lady in the front and after I told her about the sheets being stained she kept repeating herself saying the bed is made the bed is made and she even hung up on me. I paid for a room I could not even stay in and the lady in the front who was there when I checked in and when I gave the key back said she was the manager. When you look on the wall to the left of the office it has a satisfaction promise that they will make it right if things are not satisfactory and they absolutely do not give that standard. They do not care and the price is not fair for what you get!

Well the time I spent was okay. The bathroom had a smell of mold really strong one. Most of what I did not like was the staff rude Mexican lady. I moved out the room early and sat outside with my things that I just couldn’t fit in the car. Waited for a friend to come. Not taking up space just a parking spot. She calls my phone and says “ why is your junk still here” I tell her it’s not junk that I’m leaving now. She said “ I’m going to charge you for staying over” I wasn’t even I. Th e room never went back after checking out. Then I left got a few bag went to a near my store. Came back just to make sure I won’t be charged seeing as I wasn’t in the room. She was so rude called me a liar and yelled at me. Poor service at its finest. But they ended up giving me my deposit. But crappy people.

No one was even at the front desk for much of the time after I arrived, which was about an hour early; finally left and came back at check-in time, and she still wasn't at the desk. Tried calling a few times, but no one answered. Took over 20 minutes to get me checked in; staff/owner kept complaining about slow system, walking back and forth between PC monitors; had the nerve to take a phone call while I had been waiting too long already. Bathroom had a hole in the wall; exterior steps in need of repair; the door had a crack at the bottom when closed

Check-in was as expected; front desk was friendly. I was mildly surprised by the $100 deposit that was required, and I feel that we left the room as we found out, so I will be very surprised and disappointed if we don't get it back.

This was probably the worst experience I have had being in a hotel. When we checked in and got to our room and walked in it was disgusting the room had not even been clean the bed covers were on the floor and towels were thrown everywhere and the smell dont even get me started. Me and my husband were given another room and it still wasn't clean either. The smell around the property was so bad. There were people tripping out on drugs all around us and going in and out the rooms all night long. It was so bad and not safe at all. We had to constanly watch our truck to make sure no one tried to break in it. People were walking all around the property all night.

Never ate there breakfast. Never stayed the night. Checked in at 3 pm 10/18/25 there was several men just hanging out in the parking lot, didn't feel it was a safe enviroment. Was actually there maybe 10 minutes and left to go get dinner, was gone about 2 hours and when we returned all the same men still hanging out in parking lot. TV didn't work in room, the pillows on the bed appeared dirty/at the least pillow cases and sheets stained. Went back outside to get the rest of our belongings and could of gotten high off the smell of marajuina, very overwhelming. At that point we didn't feel safe on property between the men in the parking lot and the drugs. So my husband went in an told the gentleman working the desk we was leaving and ask if they could at least refund the second night stay being we was suppose to be there 2 nights, but didn't actually stay one night. Gentleman at desk said he would have to report the request to his manager and would let him know we checked out at 7:15 pm 10/18/2025 the same day we checked in. So far the charge for both nights is still on my card no refund. I just want to be sure other families are aware and don't make the same mistake we did. I'm in the process of contacting whoever i need to in order to report the very poor condition of this hotel.

Power kept going off in room . Police chased people through facilities while I was there with my grandchild . Nothing you needed was there in the room , towels wash rags . It is the worst experience I have ever had dealing with a hotel . It should be taken down from this site if you ask me . Very rude customer service to top it all off . Checked out a day early just to get away

The first room still had dirty clothes, underwear and socks in the bathroom, The 2nd room smelled like dog and bleach and there was no trash can or soap in the room! The breakfast they display on the site is nothing like the slim selection offered on the front lobby! And to add there was a big palmetto bug in the middle of the floor that the front desk lady looked at and walked right passed Also there are people that live there

Foreign splatter on bathroom wall. Sink was plugged up. Rug was not vacuumed. Bar soap remnant left in drain from previous guest. Bathroom door was severely paint chipped. It was also water damaged and wood was delaminating. Two dirty floss picks left at nightstand. While on bedspread. Guest seat had gross stain on it. TV didn’t work. Morning breakfast bar was a joke. No fresh food. Cereal hadn’t been refreshed. Condiments were mostly empty. I wouldn’t let my dog finish what was left. Orbits rated this 3-1/2 stars but I rate it a zero. I checked out and went somewhere else. I hope I can get a refund for the last night I didn’t stay. That is if anyone reads this review.

The staff were friendly, polite, and helpful. Breakfast was limited to yogurt and a few cold sandwiches (microwave available) coffee was decent and dining area was nice. The property was well-landscaped, outside area generally very nice plenty of parking space. Entrance and lobby well-kept. Our sheets were clean, mattress was bedbug-free and the beds were very comfortable and soft. This was one of six LGBTQ-welcoming lodgings we could find in the area, which was the main reason we chose it. We needed help getting into our room, the card reading lock was in disrepair and opening it every time took several minutes. The deadbolt did not close. Blackout curtains were very effective but covered in stains. The floor lamp didn't work and bedside table lamp was missing a lightbulb. There was some sort of ongoing beeping outside the entirety of our stay that sounded like it might have been an anti-homeless deterrent that we could hear all night over the air conditioner. We would stay again if we found ourselves in Columbia needing lodging, as prices were more than reasonable and none of the issues we had were serious enough to need a room change. The fact that the staff were kind to a lesbian couple with one trans partner carries a lot of weight for us, especially in times like these. If you are LGBTQ, in need of affordable lodgings, and can look over a few relatively inconsequential maintenance issues, the Airport Clarion is worth your consideration.

The bed and the hot water works fantastic but the entire Hotel was old and run down. They really shouldn't advertise breakfast because it consisted of off-brand cereal and muffin, juice and milk, coffee and yogurt.

Based on the state of the room, the bathroom was much cleaner than I expected it to be. There were holes in the walls by the sink. There were stains on the curtains that sure seem to resemble blood. The curtain pulls were broken, so it’s just the inside string to try to yank them across to block the window. The safety lock on the top of the door was missing the surfaces of the desk and the dresser looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for quite some time so again the cleanliness of the bathroom was a pleasant surprise. They are external door rooms. It was quiet it did not feel unsafe. Just a little crazy. Fine for one quick night, but wouldn’t choose there again.

Call this a hotel? Should be a motel. Walked into my room and about died with how hot it was, took forever to cool down. The sheets and pillows had stains. The phone didn’t work to call the front desk and they don’t know how to answer the phone either. Toilet not even bolted to the floor, wobbling everywhere. I’d stay here again for about half the price but otherwise not worth it.
