This is an older property that could use a little cosmetic love, but the staff is extremely friendly and helpful! The property was just what we needed and was very affordable for a USC football weekend. This made a potentially very expensive weekend much more affordable, and, therefore, more enjoyable and stress free. Also, conveniently located near Williams-Brice Stadium.
The location was in a half remodeled state of disrepair. People riding bicycle with backpacks through the parking lot throughout the night. Mold in the shower and sticky floors

Very friendly/helpful staff.
While you could tell they have put work into making this hotel better, there were several basic maintenance issues that need addressed.
The AC filter was dirty, the cover to the filter was laying on the floor, and the shower was missing the caulking at the base.
The carpet desperately needs cleaning smells awful has to turn the air on 63 to try and overpower the carpet. Toilet needed cleaning toilet seat broke. Creepy men hanging in hallway. One guy followed my daughter to car. After my daughter returned from a night out with friends same guy was waiting upstairs by the elevator when the elevator door opened. Just so happened we share locations and had already went downstairs to meet her at the hotel entrance. The look of surprise when she and I stepped off the elevator together. He had to be watching for her vehicle to return. Never ever staying there again.
My daughter and I pulled up and it was clearly not a safe place for us to stay. People loitering outside, dirty, and absolutely nothing like the photos on Expedia. We left immediately and booked another hotel in the area. I have never "eaten" the cost of a hotel before without going in but this was the right choice.

I appreciated the free waffles and coffee. Very convenient access from the rear parking lot for after-hours entry. The room itself (one King, non-smoking) was nicely equipped and stocked with toiletries. Comfortable bed. Walking distance to many restaurants and shops, even the SC State Fairgrounds! I'm looking for any excuse to visit Columbia so that I can stay here again
