Extended Stay America Suites - Columbia - Greystone

If you’re not familiar with Columbia SC and are going to visit U of SC just be aware this is not somewhere parents and families normally stay. There were unfortunately dead gnats all over the beds and floors. There were also springs sticking out of the mattresses. The metal doors were peeling paint. Strong smell of marijuana throughout and several homeless people spending time in the parking lot. The one worker that we encountered was a pleasant gentleman.

Maybe the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. To make matters worse, they let the parking lot blower guy operate at 8:30am on Sunday morning to ensure your stay is as bad as it can get.

After driving 14 hours and pulling into the parking lot, prior to even checking in it was nice to be greeted by a couple of junkies in the parking lot. Despite seeing this we were tired so decided to check in anyway. Gentleman at the front counter I assume was trying to be nice, but the language barrier was so thick that’s really just a guess. We got the keys and got to the room, kicked my shoes off and my feet immediately stuck to the sticky floor. Decided that would be a great time for a shower and stepped into a tub full of mold with no complementary shampoo, conditioner or body wash. As we looked out our window to our room where there were picnic tables set up, they were taken up by the junkies and homeless people. There were empty baggies, a spoon that had residue on it and trash EVERYWHERE!! Not to mention these people repeatedly knodding out all afternoon after they did their drugs!! Do I need to continue?? This place was awful!!

It was a great stay for a night to see a event downtown

The room was spacious, nothing was stocked in the kitchen but supposedly available from the front desk. The room could have been a bit cleaner especially the floors.
