What guests think

At Motel 6 West Columbia SC Airport, travelers find a budget, recently renovated stop close to I‑26 and the airport, with many reporting clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff, but experiences vary due to inconsistent housekeeping and very basic amenities.

Several reviews cite highway noise, late‑night check‑in via a window with a required $100 deposit, and occasional issues like odors, mildew, or pests. Amenities are minimal: well‑lit parking is plentiful and pet‑friendly policies are appreciated, but there’s no breakfast or in‑room coffee and ice machines can be unreliable. Overall, it suits short, no‑frills stays when price and access matter more than extras.

Had to drive considerable distance to find some restaurant choices. Room was okay. Some walls were damaged. Television's remote control was difficult to handle. One positive, though, was that the parking lot with its bright lights was excellent and safe.

Given your right off of a freeway (Which is at your discretion) This was a decent stay. Bed was comfy plus NO BUGS. Would book again if in area. No pool. Vending machines (a little Pricey) plus Landry machines onsite was a great touch. Parking lot well lit.

This hotel has been recently renovated with laminate floors in the rooms. There was a sign stating they would have extended stay rooms available soon. It's a little wonky getting to the parking lot but there is plenty of parking available. The room was clean, although the floor could have been cleaner. We didn't request a special room, however, our room has a chair height toilet. This means alot to use since we are both tall. One of our towels had stains but all the others were nice and white. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will keep this motel on our list. We travel to the area at least once per year so we will be using this motel again.

Mold on the walls, mildew on the walls above the cracked tub liner. Shower curtain not properly secured to the wall. Mildew stains on the one set of bed sheets this place is gross! If I wasn’t absolutely exhausted from driving 20 hours I would have went somewhere else. 75$ was a stretch for this room. I wish I could attach pictures

We arrived at Motel 6 very late after another hotel gave away our room. Staff was pleasant. First glance, our beds looked fine and room looked updated. Upon settling in, we noticed our room was quite dirty. Hair on the walls and floor, the tv had something smeared on it, the sink faucet was sticking up out of the counter (so it wiggled) and the next morning, out of the three towels we had, two were very dirty with black smears. I would not recommend.

This motel looks a lot better on the outside than the inside. We arrived around midnight and had to hang over my ID and credit card through a small window where I could barely see what was being done behind the desk. As we walked to our room, I saw a cat sitting in the window of the room next to ours. Once inside, I detected a faint odor of cat pee which was a complete turn-off. The bed linens appeared clean, the bathroom looked clean, but the shower curtain had mold or mildew on it. We won't be back.

The room was inexpensive, but it was spartan, no frills. The security latch on the door was missing, which made the room feel less than secure. There was a LOT of road noise as the interstate highway - and on ramp- were less than 50 yards away.

The Motel is newly renovated, so tidy and neat and fairly clean. However No coffee machine, No Kleenex, No shampoo or amenities at all. There is a 100.00 deposit fee, ( way too much) plus they billed me the room fee as well so did Expedia billed us the fee. Sure hope they sort this out. Rooms on the front are crazy noisy and rooms on the back too.. many Partiers. A disappointing experience.

The only good thing was the price and location. I checked in very late, which I understand. The hotel clerk was visibly asleep in a chair with doors to lobby locked. First room he gave me was on the first floor, which I liked as a solo female traveler. The key didn’t work and it appeared the room was already occupied. Then he said he wrote the wrong room number down. Second room, 1st floor.. key didn’t work. Third room was on 2nd floor. There was no lock on the door, no phone and huge palmetto bugs crawling around. I had to go BACK to the lobby, and the clerk was asleep again. The 4th room was now on the 3rd floor. I had to walk up exterior stairs in the dark, alone. The room was bare bones and obviously recently quickly renovated. Nothing on the walls, no iron, no hair dryer and only 1 small bar of soap. By this time, I had 8 hours before I had to checkout and was charged a $100 deposit. NEVER AGAIN!

Location

Convenient to the airport and I‑26 with easy highway access, but highway noise affects many and access can be tricky. Restaurants aren’t within easy walking distance and the area can feel secluded or iffy.

The property is not in the best shape. The elevators worked but creaked and the rooms could have been cleaned more thoroughly. Same with the hallways and stairs. Also, if you do not have a car and use other transportation options, you will want to know beforehand that the motel is not within walking distance to restaurants or fast food places. The vending machine needed a repair. One night is OK, although still a bit of a rough experience, adequate, but below expectations. With a major update/renovation this could be a nice destination and attract more business.

For a quick overnight stay this place is just fine. It is bare minimum. It is difficult to get into at night being unfamiliar with the area as it is on a feeder road next to interstate. With that being said, the interstate traffic did interfere with sleep somewhat. The place is clean and staff we interacted with was great. Did not like the fact we had to pay a $100 deposit for "incidentals" but also understand the need in that area.

Did not get all the pubic hair out of the tub. Noticed when I was showering. The alarm went off at 5 a.m. and again at 5:45 a.m. Did not like when I went for coffee at the office I met a pitbull peeing around the corner. Glad he was on a leash cause he sure gave me the eye.
