Red Roof Inn Columbia, SC Airport

The room is clean, but both time I was there the bedding had cigarette holes in them. The paint is pealing on the ceiling and you might get towels that have holes or still dirty. The last stay I couldn’t sleep on the bedding cause it smelled so bad from the last person and their dog, I just couldn’t do it. They did come and change everything out for what it’s worth. This place is not for long term stay. Just a night or two and leave if you have a flight, or just need time for yourself.

Close to airport but the place is a dump. Everyone is loud and you can smell cigarette and weed smoke in your room from room next-door.

First night there , they had a stabbing. Bullet holes in walls. Homeless and addicts in parking lot.

Close to the airport

While the area around the airport is not “the best” the hotel was clean and comfortable and provided a good night’s sleep.

Didn’t like that people were coming/going from 1am - past 3 am who were not hotel guests. Another guy revving his motorcycle in the parking lot at like 1am who also wasn’t a hotel guest and just visiting. The room next door reeked of pot and could smell it into our room. We stayed here because it was dog friendly, but because of the constant noise, we got no sleep. We would’ve been better off just getting a couple hours of sleep at a rest area. All the noise kept my dog up growling too, which didn’t help matters.

The lobby was locked at 7:45 pm when the sign says it closes at 8. There were cigarette buts stuffed in my sink drain. The sink leaked onto the floor. The bed sheets and shower curtains were stained too. The area was surrounded by people smoking and loitering in the parking lot and did not feel safe. The only positive I have to say is the lady was very kind and helpful when I checked out. Great service from her... the rest was awful.

I arrived after mid night after a long flight of over 30 hrs from Africa. No one was waiting and no phone contacts. I got stranded and almost slept on the streets. I was saved by a good Samaritan who helped me locate another hotel 5 miles. I had no money for Uber to facilitate my movement to the next location. Very unfortunate and high degree of negligence. They put my life in danger.

I made a big mistake by not reading the reviews. I booked a room because it looked cheap and convenient to the highway. When I arrived, I immediately did not feel safe leaving my truck in this parking lot with tools inside it. The parking lot is in between two motels with ridiculously bright lights shining down — many, many people milling around doing god knows what at 1 AM, unable to sleep "for some reason." The room itself was gross. Top sheet was filthy, cigarette burns, stains, etc. Floor was slimy, lots of human hair/dust/skin everywhere along the bed, possible signs of bedbugs (tiny bloodstains on the pillow) etc. A flickering hallway light outside the window could not be fully blocked out by the curtains. I immediately left and went to the Sleep Inn next door, it was only $30 more and comes with a nice breakfast with eggs and sausage, good amenities, nice rooms etc. Do not stay at this Red Roof Inn just to save $30.

There was an all night party in the parking lot
