At Extended Stay America Select Suites - Columbia - Gateway Drive, reviews describe a budget stay with widely mixed standards: frequent cleanliness complaints (odors, stains, and pests) and uneven service shaped by restricted front-desk hours.
Rooms are often dated with maintenance problems and thin walls, though a few guests found them spacious or comfortable. Amenities are limited: several reviews note no breakfast or only a very basic grab-and-go, kitchenware not supplied without purchase, and sporadic property issues like renovations and an out-of-service elevator. The area is generally quiet and felt safe to several guests. Expect a simple, no-frills stay with notable trade-offs.

The overall property looked run down and poorly maintained. The rooms are not very clean, stains on most walls and headboards. Our room did not have a working toilet and there was a whole in the floor. The worker was overwhelmed because she was dealing with other complaints. One woman had to sweep her own room. When I brought to her attention about the toilet she gave me a plunger and then if that didn’t work then she would have to contact a manger. We did get moved to a cleaner and more functional room. One of the blankets had major red stains and we couldn’t exchange it because by the time we noticed it as after 10 and there is no one to help you. There are a lot of poor patch jobs and missing places in the carpet. Would not say here again.

I've stayed in numerous extended stays all-over the country. This one was horrible. Room not very clean. Old furniture and carpet. Door wouldnt completely lock. I waited 20 min to be checked in because no one was at the desk. Hotel is severly understaffed. Hallway smelled like weed.

This hotel was being remodeled and it was dirty and beat up all over. The room sincerely looks like it was from the 1060s, dirty and ugly. Check-in took around 30 minutes because they were not sure if the available rooms were clean or not. I was given the wrong room number and ended up trying to open the door for an occupied room. I had to go down to the lobby again with all my luggage to get the correct room number and key. Really bad hotel for this part of town with so many business travelers.

Awful! I was expecting bare bones, but this place was the worst. No service after 10 pm. They will only help you check in or if your key doesn’t work. We had 3 people. I was told we had to wait until morning to get bedding for the sofa bed. Evidently you need to request bedding when you check in. I was told there was nothing that could be done by the answering service (front desk completely shut down). Room itself was awful. The property has not been mayand is dirty and run down. It cots $1 to call front desk from room phone. Towel rack fell down when we hung a towel on it. Room smelled of odd chemicals

The room was not cleaned, the cabinets in the room were rusted and chipped. The bedding had black spots on the sheets. There was red hair under my pillow which my mother or myself dont have red hair. I had my dogs there and the location has fleas i found a couple on my dogs body. I asked for additional towls and was told I had to pay $1.75 for extra towls. The manager at the front desk was very rude and would not issue a full refund. I am very unhappy with my stay & will never book there again!

It’s smelled of cigarette smoke throughout the whole building. It made it hard for us to breathe in the room. And it was terrible especially for the little children. Their were no sheets. Stains on the mattress. Broken pull out sofa. And even the bathroom was a mess.

Most disgusting smell as you enter the lobby of the hotel. The room was dirty kitchen filthy, bathroom filthy. I travel with cleaning products and Lysol, so I did my own cleaning being that I checked into the room at close to 10 o’clock Wednesday upon check-in. The gentleman at the front desk was extremely unfriendly, and almost gave me the creeps, the noise with the people that are living, there was off the charts kids running around at all hours banging slamming doors just a terrible experience all around only thing I can say where the grounds were good for walking my show dogs . I would never stay here again, and if I ever get to a place with this amount of filth, I will make sure I leave the first night subjecting myself to dust and mold in the room all hours of the night noise, and smells when you enter the hotel that our gut wrenching.

At check in the instructions to contact the front desk which was closed were not working. The front desk clerk was nice. The toilet was broken and although originally offered a different room, we were then told they were sold out. They eventually allowed us to use the staff only bathroom. The pull out sofa had no linens and the mattress was disgusting and extremely worn out. There were zero amenities except two plastic cups. The room was filthy and we all left with bug bites. There was no breakfast as advertised and we were told the front desk didn't open until 10am. The instructions to turn the key back in for the bathroom were incorrect and I was told to leave the key in our room as there was no one from the staff on property yet. I then got a call a hour or so later to say I didn't leave them the key and I needed to return it immediately. There was no communication apparently between staff. I anticipate a full refund as that's what the front desk girl offered.

THEN the couple in the room next to ours ( we were in Room 231) had a HUGE VERY LOUD fight about 2am for over an hour. We were frightened and very upxet. It was just the WORST - THE WORST - stay ever in more than 30 years of travelling. I will NEVER, NEVER stay in another Extended Stay anywhere - ANY WHERE.

Smells like cigarettes and fried food. It’s loud all night long. People are stomping all night and slamming their doors. Kids running in the hall ways until midnight. The desk attendant that we had to call to check us in was nice and the guy who checked me out in the AM was quick and efficient. We had no towels or soap in our room and we called for them but couldn’t not get any because there was no staff on.

Check in took WAY too long. The clerk was trying to change someone else's room, but kept locking herself out. The hotel needs updates. I'm not happy with my stay- when I finally got in my room, I had to go back to the front desk because there was no soap or hand towels left in my room. That's only 1 of the reasons I'm displeased. I plan on sending the property an email.

Check-in took around 30 minutes because they were not sure if the available rooms were clean or not. I was given the wrong room number and ended up trying to open the door for an occupied room. I had to go down to the lobby again with all my luggage to get the correct room number and key. Really bad hotel for this part of town with so many business travelers.

At check in the instructions to contact the front desk which was closed were not working. The front desk clerk was nice. The toilet was broken and although originally offered a different room, we were then told they were sold out. They eventually allowed us to use the staff only bathroom. The pull out sofa had no linens and the mattress was disgusting and extremely worn out. There were zero amenities except two plastic cups. The room was filthy and we all left with bug bites. There was no breakfast as advertised and we were told the front desk didn't open until 10am. The instructions to turn the key back in for the bathroom were incorrect and I was told to leave the key in our room as there was no one from the staff on property yet. I then got a call a hour or so later to say I didn't leave them the key and I needed to return it immediately. There was no communication apparently between staff. I anticipate a full refund as that's what the front desk girl offered.

Hotel called us at 10pm to tell us that they were cancelling the prepaid reservation. Told me that they didn't want me to waste my time coming to the hotel. Poor hotel management.

My stay at this hotel was pretty nice. It’s in a quiet location. The only thing I did not like was that the pictures on the Internet were not a good representation of the hotel rooms.

Hotel just seems run down. Gym is a joke. No grab and go breakfast. Room was half swept. No utensils, plates or pots. I wouldn’t stay here again.

I had a reservation for two nights. When I arrived a little after check in time they told me to check back in an hour because they were still cleaning the room. I checked back over an hour later and was told they were still “cleaning”. I saw there where others sitting in the lobby also waiting and not getting their rooms. That is when I found out they had overbooked the hotel . I asked if I did indeed have a room and if it would be available later that night. I was told that I did indeed have a room. However, there was never a room for me either night and I had to drastically change my plans and find another place to stay much further away.
