We were traveling back from FL on July 31 and were so tired. Wanted to get a room for the night. Nothing fancy, just a place to get some sleep. The gentleman that checked us in was very nice. He said he only had two choices for us, a room with a king bed or a room with 2 double. We took the king room and were pleasantly surprised at how decent it was. No carpet, big plus. Clean, neat and perfect for what we needed. Good room, good price.
Pet is accepted Second pet have to pay extra daily. People disrespect this place. If people stop spitting on the side walls and pick up their trash. This place is nice if it's cared for like we are supposed to. Thank you Red Roof Inn
Very clean rooms . Nice and quiet. Great customer service. Good price
Room was clean and hotel was fairly quiet. The only place around that didn’t skyrocket their prices during the hurricane. Very affordable 3 nights stay while my power was out. Walking distance to Waffle House.
In the grand scheme of things, it's pretty good for the price. The area is notorious for debauchery, but it looks like it's getting better. Its definitely cleaner and nicer than the Airport Inn next door that's the same price.
Awesome Stay, Great management.. quiet,peaceful, very clean spacious rooms, friendly neighbors.. nice lighted parking, convenience store and restaurants nearby(walking distance) Highly Recommend!! 5Stars
I am currently staying here for an extended amount of time probably monthly and I find it very cozy, the staff is very friendly and sweet ladies. It is pretty much close to everything waffle House, a shoney's and a nice-sized gas station. Is quiet and the room was clean. Although I can do without the 1968 chair in here. Other than that it's nice.
I stayed at this Red Roof Inn for 5 days last week. The check in experience was fast, friendly, and easy. The property outside was clean. My room was very clean. The a/c was cold and the water was hot! Hotel maid service was prompt each day to clean the room. Very affordable room. I will be staying here anytime I visit Columbia. My overall stay here was 5 stars. Thank you Red Roof Inn Columbia Airport location!!
