What guests think

At Super 8 by Wyndham Columbia East, reviews describe a budget stay with convenient freeway access and occasionally kind staff, but many guests report inconsistent upkeep and dated conditions across rooms and amenities.

Common complaints include pests, odors, flat pillows, uncomfortable beds, and maintenance issues such as broken fixtures or unreliable AC and TV connections. Breakfast is very limited and sometimes poorly stocked, and the indoor pool or hot tub is frequently cold, closed, or partially working. Policies and service feel mixed: some praise helpful staff and value, while others cite surprise $100 holds, slow refunds, and inconsistent housekeeping or key problems. Expect a basic, variable experience focused on low cost rather than comfort.

Not bad for a motel along the interstate. The Wi-Fi didn’t work well but the hot tub and pool were fun for my 10 year old son. Location is near restaurants and a grocery store and right next to I-70. Very affordable.

As soon as you walk in you can smell how clean the hotel is. Not a chemical smell. More of a fresh lemon smell. Room was nice and clean. Pool was a little cold. Just took a bit to get use to it. Then it was fine.

As soon as you walk into the lobby you can smell how clean and fresh the hotel is. Not overly powering just fresh crisp lemony sent. My only complaint was the indoor pool was very cold.

There was a dirty towel in front of the tv. There was cold water in the ice bucket. The jacuzzi tub in the room was held together with painter's tape. The door latch was broken so we propped a chair against the door. The toilet didn't flush properly, it almost overflowed. The pool was ice cold and the hot tub was not working. The juice machine was out of order and the only hot breakfast was waffles but they only had one waffle maker so you had to wait in line. No, I didn't complain to staff about any of this because I was to tired and just wanted to relax.

I have pictures! Mold on shower curtain, shower grips were either rusted or filled with mold! poop or big booger on bedroom wall. Dust on lamp, tv remote no back on it. Hair on toilet seat, blanket wadded up on top of shelf. Sheets and pillowcases dirty, pool area cold and pool was freezing hot tub was ok. Charge 100 deposit not listed unless you go to end of listing. Then you don’t get deposit back for 3-5 business days! Expedia this needs taken off your list of approved hotels what a disappointment it is listed on such a reliable site. Breakfast was as expected for cheap hotel but room was NOT! Any reviews saying otherwise might just be fake! Don’t know but we didn’t expect what we ran into. For sure the 100 was not expected. Shady area of town we came from Colorado going home to Ohio we did not see anywhere the area of town might not be safe two police officers came in while we were in Lobby……

Have stayed in dozens of cheap motels and this was one of the worst…within 5 minutes of being in the room, saw a cockroach, a silverfish, and some other random beetle. Floors were disgusting. Literal chunks of food and sausage all over. Also found a pack of cigarettes which was greatTraveling with toddlers. Believe the other reviews and stay someplace else.

The Television in my room continued to FREEZE the frames for 5 seconds to as long as 3 minutes. I stayed 3 nights and despite numerous calls to the front desk, the TV picture frame freezing continued. I texted photos of the frozen frames but no response. The front desk said that it was a CABLE TV problem due to the "wind". The TV Channels were not on Cable- but on an ANALOG antenna. I travel to Columbia once per month so I will stay at another hotel.

We were not that impressed. The cost of the room was reasonable. The room was clean. The staff were nice. The pillows were horrible. Sheets & blankets were very thin. Bed was not comfortable. Traffic sound noisy and the fan made a very loud noise. I didn't complain to staff as we were only there to sleep. Plus I put on a sleep noise app to drown out the sounds. Left at 3:30 AM

This location was conveniently located near the freeway, however, getting out of the parking lot is a bit more difficult as it was between traffic lights. Good - Very conveniently located restaurant and gas station. They were just across the parking lot. The refrigerator was large enough and the microwave was the Wyndham standard. Bad - Not much of a breakfast, it was all carbs. No coffee or coffee maker in the room. They only provided a couple of Styrofoam cups in the room (which is ecologically unsound).

There was a squashed dead roach on the wall. It had obviously been there for a good while. The room was hot upon arrival and once you got the AC turned on, it would turn off for abnormally long periods of time. So during the night, it got pretty warm. I had to request 4 extra pillows as the ones that were in the room were flat. Upon request, the gentleman told me he didn’t think he had any extra pillows. He did go look and then searched through pillow cases to, I can only guess, find a clean one. We then had to go and ask for two more towels as there were only 2 towels in a double queen room.

I asked for towels and toilet paper, via text, to which I was never responded. The day after checking in, I was woken up by maintenance banging on the door with a clipboard, whom I thought was responding to my earlier message about towels and TP, but instead they denied my request and told me it was time to leave when I still had 2 days on my reservation. I had to argue with the blonde gentleman and tell him I still had 2 more days; he said he’d be back with clarification and never returned after I stood in the doorway for 20 minutes waiting to know if I was supposed to stay or go. A different maintenance guy showed up so I asked him, and he said I wasn’t on his list. Finally, on the third day, both of our keys stopped working so we were locked out of our room and had to get them reprogrammed.

Staff should not be in hospitality industry. Breakfast is brutal waffles toast coffee tea. Pool hours 8am to 10 pm with tape over the 8am. 10am written in marker. Asked for clean towels. Was told to bring my towels to the second floor to exchange for clean ones. Checked in on line with credit card. Was told I had to manually check in and provide my visa. Door was locked upon arrival. Got in with the help of another customer. Was greated rudely by the older lady at the front desk. I explained I had a reservation and she found us a room. We travel from Alberta to Maine and back to Alberta. This hotel was by far the worst experience we encountered. Will never go back.

We found trash under the bed. Pool was closed with no notification. Staff called out my room number to the entire lobby which made me feel unsafe. I stayed for 3 days and not once did I get clean towels or room service. Upon check in the clerk was unkept and seemed distracted with another worker as they were having a conversation with someone on the phone.

We were a party of 6 traveling together and staying for one night. When we arrived there was some loitering outside, the parking lot was in disrepair and there was junk visible in the adjoining parking lots. If we had not booked online, we most likely would have stayed elsewhere. Check in was slow, which is somewhat understandable as we had reserved 3 rooms. Rooms were average for a Super 8 and relatively clean.

The cleanliness of my room was good, but not very good or excellent. There were some residues on the bed spread of the bed I didn't use. Ditto for the rug. The toilet seat was broken and pinched my butt when I sat on it. My main complaint was there was no food for breakfast that was not toxic to me. I can't eat sugars and refined starches. An egg would have been welcome.

Overall, all of the people there were very, very friendly. I was just very disappointed that there really was no breakfast. It was donuts and coffee. I had a five-year-old he doesn’t eat donuts and coffee for breakfast. I stay there for five days and I had asked them to come and clean my bathroom and change my sheets. Also, I had asked them to dump my trash. Kind of a little disappointing, but other than that my bed was comfortable and everything was fine.

Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Honey Buns and Granola bars are not my idea of breakfast, snack maybe but not breakfast. I won't be staying at your hotel again.
