The building and the pool were fantastic. We will definitely book again!! If your coming in town for Army family or graduation day, this is a great place to stay!

This property would have gotten a 10/10 if it had not misled about their pool. Lists a pool to get people to perhaps stay for that amenity and then informs after the transaction it is closed. Otherwise, a great hotel if you don’t mind dishonesty.

My stay at the La Quinta hotel in South Carolina was mostly positive. The hotel appeared clean, and the check-in process was efficient, although they did mention a 24-hour $100 incidental hold on my credit card. However, upon arrival, it would have been helpful if they had informed us that the elevator was out of order. This inconvenience was particularly notable as many guests, including families from Army graduation services, had to navigate stairs. While the elevator was fixed the next day, the initial lack of disclosure caused some inconvenience and complaints among guests. Despite this issue, our room was clean and comfortable, with a fairly comfortable bed. Overall, the stay was pleasant, and I would consider booking at La Quinta again if I return to the area.

The hotel had an odd smell in the hallways and the room smelled musty. The towels were dirty, washcloth was streaked brown and hand towel had makeup all over it. The tub and shower looked new and were clean, but the rest of the bathroom was grungy with what looked like black mold on the walls. The ottoman had a slit down the middle. Breakfast was terrible. At least invest in decent coffee. Just awful.

Chosen for cleanliness, based on reviews. Property had a strong odor of disinfectant, as did room, so it was sterile. Most of the room was apparently clean…but the cleaning staff missed the sink under-rim with its hair and shaving cream, and a corner of the room where the floor and wall corner had the appearance of accumulated dust. One of the wash cloths provided appeared to have been used.

We were there for a graduation at Fort Jackson. Which means, long days out of the room, leaving early & coming back later in the evening. The area isn’t the greatest looking but we never felt unsafe. The staff was very nice from the moment we checked in. The room was small but clean although you could tell the towels & bedding were aged. The bed was not comfortable, the mattress was sagging & we all awoke with sore backs & not just from our long days! The do have a breakfast but we left each day to get to base before he began. For the price point & the amount of time spent in the room, it’s not bad. If you are looking for more comfort, then you may want to pay a bit more. It was VERY clean & housekeeping came in daily which was wonderful!!!

The first day breakfast was not available as stated in reservation description. Multiple army families wanted the 6am breakfast and it was not even started. People need to get on the road early and we went without breakfast the first day. About 615 someone started to get into the kitchen. The room was ok, the carpet looked 100 years old. The shower door in my room didn’t stay shut causing water to go out onto the floor. We were offered clean towels every day.

The property was in like-new condition. Staff was attentive. The full-wall tile mosaic of a birds-eye view of downton Columbia was stunning; I would not have thought this would be found in a motel. Only complaint: The bathroom exhaust fan was terribly noisy and came on with the light. The design engineers for this chain should specify a quiet fan, such as Broan, and a separate switch.for the fan.

The room was clean, recently updated and the bed was comfortable. The only downside was it being a pet friendly hotel, we had a dog across the hall barking but that wasn’t the hotel’s fault.

The hotel was sold out for a the Saturday night that we stayed. Yet, at 2:30 PM there was only one desk attendant to help guests with check in. The room design was awful. The bathroom light switch was on the wall behind the door. There was nowhere to hang clothes and only one, tiny drawer. The walls were so, paper thin that we could hear other conversations and phone alarms around us. When I got in the shower, there was a hair hanging on the wall. There was little water pressure and it never got hot. I wouldn’t recommend.

We have stayed at this hotel before and had a good experience so booked (through Hotels.com as we always do) for one night when heading back south. On arrival we were told that our confirmation number was not correct and that they did not have a reservation for us, even though we showed a receipt from Hotels.com. The staff offered no assistance and simply told us to rebook another room and sort it out with the third party later. As it was late we didn’t really have another option so have paid twice for the room. When we got to our room the thermostat wasn’t working so we called the desk and asked that they bring batteries as we suspected that was the issue. Staff agreed - waited two hours no one came. The staff are uninterested in providing any helpful service. We won’t be booking at this location again.

We arrived about two hours prior to check in. We asked if we could check in early to get ready for a wedding, and the guy at the front desk said that they don’t usually allow people to check in early. So my husband and I were trying to figure out what to do while standing at the desk. He said well we will charge you a fee of $30 to check in early. I was kind of taken aback because he sounded like he really couldn’t check us in, but then all of a sudden he could do it for a fee. He was checking us in, and then he said, “Oh we will put $100 hold on your card, and you’ll get it back in 24 hours.” Something just did not feel right with my husband and me. The hotel that I usually stay in was booked, but I usually don’t have to pay fee to check in early. I also have not had $100 hold on my card. I did look up La Quinta hotels regarding the $30 early check-in fee all of them don’t have the same policy. And some hotels do put $100 hold on your card. One other thing that we didn’t like about the room is that the sink area was outside of the bathroom at the door. That was odd. The bathroom was really small. My husband asked me to never book us at this hotel again.

My son graduated from BCT at Fort Jackson South Carolina so we booked a room at La Quinta from Oct 27, 2025 - Oct 30, 2025. We were able to take him from Fort Jackson to his next base for AIT and had to check out a day early. The hotel refused to refund our last day. The guest in front of us when we were waiting to check out was having an issue and the staff was being very rude to him in front of all of the other hotel guests. The facility itself was nice, clean, and the beds were comfortable. The staff at check in was very nice, helpful, and all smiles. I understand that everyone has bad days, but when you work in the public you can not be rude like that. Very disappointed in

This is my 3rd stay at this location I’m not from SC, but my Church is there so sometimes this requires me to need to stay over. The last time I stayed here was in May. As soon as I walked in, I remembered the check in clerk but wasn’t sure if he remembered me. As soon as I walked in and spoke, he greeted me with “Hello welcome back!” That blew me away I said “You remember me” he said “Of course” and that did it for me. This will be my location every time I need to stay over. All the staff is friendly though to say the least. And they keep it CLEAN which is another plus and I feel safe as I’m a single traveler most of the time.

The property itself was clean and although, not fancy, it met our needs because we were out most of the day. The staff were friendly and gave us advice about when to leave for the graduation so we wouldn't be stuck in the long line to get on base.

It was super confirmed to William Bryce Stadium! The area the hotel Is located does not appear to be very safe. We ran into the Circle K to grab a water bottle in the evening and there was an armed police officer wearing a bullet proof vest. You can hear the train through the night as it beeps its horn. There was a few people in the parking lot adjacent to the hotel late at night being loud.

Bedsheet torn and stained. Need to be replaced. Breakfast was unhygienic. Danish and muffins stale and orange juice is fake. Over easy eggs look fake too. Cook doesn't wear gloves. Keeps running both hands over his hair, rubbing his nose and face and then stirs the burnt scramble eggs. Took a peek in the kitchen. All the cabinets (top part - to open and close) stained in dark dirty color. Do not expect that of La Quinta Inn. Look more like Quality Inn hotels.

If you're traveling by car, the location is acceptable. The room was clean and the internet connection was quite good. However, breakfast was a complete disappointment. If you're choosing this hotel because it offers breakfast, I suggest you reconsider. There was a coffee machine in the common area, but it was broken and seemed like it had been left that way for a while. Overall, it’s a sufficient place for a one-night stay if you only need the basics — but don’t expect anything more.
