It was grad time so this was about the only place with 2 nights available. On check in, they have me a room that looked over the park across the street and by the end of the stay, I was thinking the park bench looked pretty good.

Non-smoking room - I think it was designated that when we checked in - the previous people were heavy and clumsy smokers - the room stunk bad and there were cigarette burns on the furniture and the carpet.

No pets - had the cleaning staff been a bit more diligent they would have noticed that besides the mold in the bathroom, the bed spread was covered in dog hair (golden lab, I believe). Not sure - but there was also bugs - woke up with both arms and much of chest well chewed on over the night

Kitchenette - they will not clean your dishes, but they also will not leave dishwasher soap. There are no clean towels provided except at checkin. No room service but once a week. There is no soap or shampoo

Broken shelves in the bathroom, lamp shades so old they are cracked. The staff couldn't even manage a smile or a howdy as i was checking out from the other side of the bars on the window.

This place ranks as one of the 3 worst hotels in all my 30 years of travels - and the other two had vermin problems - this one just was a hotel in dire need of closing and being re-staffed

First, I will tell you the positives: the staff (especially the manager on duty) were extremely cordial and helpful--particularly when asked to refund the money for the next 3 nights that we had paid for, so we could find a decent hotel to stay in. The second positive is that we did NOT SEE any bedbugs, although if I was a bedbug I would call it prime real estate! We had 3 rooms and the rooms smelled of smoke, although they were supposed to be non-smoking. Lifting the rather thin mattress to check for bedbugs revealed a collection of dirt, dust, and hair--but at least NO Bedbugs! There were no hangers in the room and no hairdryer, no disposable cups, no internet. The beds were hard and the pillows (just 2 on the bed) were thin and flat. If you are solely looking for a roof over your head and you don't much care about comfort or cleanliness, then this is the place for you. It is cheap, but you get exactly what you pay for. You can do much better at the EconoLodge--super comfortable beds, heated indoor pool, free breakfast, clean rooms, high-speed internet--all for about $30 more a night and well worth it!

I've stayed here twice on my numerous trips to Columbia since my son moved here. I live this hotel at Thanksgiving because we usually bring semi-prepared feast to share with my son. I like the full kitchen with frig, microwave, and electric stove burners (with all cookware, etc.). The staff is great and very helpful. I didn't notice any noise issues. Everything you read about the beds is true. Hard as a rock...my youngest sleep on the floor with a blanket because it was softer! We only stay a couple of days at most, so it's tolerable but they really should replace those mattresses and the ratings would improve.

This was the first time I have stayed at an Extended Stay Hotel. I was traveling with my dog so I needed pet friendly accommodations and was expecting stained carpets and a smelly room BUT I stayed in one of the cleanest rooms hotels rooms I have ever stayed in....this includes some 5 star hotels! My room was opposite the highway and it was very quiet. The price was really unbelieveable. I don't think I have paid less than $100 dollars on a hotel room for 15 years. The staff was exceptionally accommodating. My only problem was my Garmin took me to a completely different area of town. When I called Macy at the front desk, she was patient and very helpful in directing me to the hotel. I wish all hotels were this accommodating!
