Days Inn Columbia

The rooms are ok, but the outside and the drive to makes it look like more of a motel than a hotel. There are old furniture pieces dumped in a hole across from the hotel parking next to the pool where it looks like another pool was.

I’ve stayed at alot of whyndam hotels in the past and this location is about on par with most days inn hotels. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. I’ve stayed 20 or so nights in the last 90ish days and will be back again.

You get charged for a queen, you get a full. Smh. My husband and I paid $ 55+tax for a false advertisement. My husband booked the room two weeks in advance and ended up paying more than if we waited until today! We found it odd that at check in the Indian guy at the front desk kept saying «Small Queen», but if you pay $ 5 more you get two «small Queens»!!! Surprise, it’s a full! Unbelievable. He should’ve upgraded us for free — Greedy, Liar. But, never again.
The bathroom tub was filthy, both chairs were filthy, the pillows made me itch, and the outdated television… Sad.
The walls are so paper thin, you hear your neighbors: wash their hands, come and go (slam after slam), flush the toilet, and what they watch on TV.
See pics… I’ll be glad when tomorrow comes, because it’s check-​out!

I’m a Wyndham rewards member, and tend to stay at quite a few Days Inn locations. This was, by far, the worst.
Upon check in, we were told that our service dog (that had been mentioned in our booking notes) would be charged as a pet since we did not have a ‘certificate’, not required, and against the law to demand.
When we finally got to the room, it was filthy. The yellow chairs had huge black stains on the arm, as though they’d been drug through the driveway. Plastered over cracks with no paint, the mirror was bowed out and wobbly on the wall. The bath fixtures were corroded and loose, and the bath itself was worn.
The location was so unfriendly, my three year old, fully trained service dog woke us up three times in the night growling at the door.
Yes, I know you get what you pay for, and I paid the same price at another Wyndham hotel the next night and will be raving about their hotels exemplary services. Cheap doesn’t have to mean garbage.

Upon checking in I will say that the front desk greeted me very well. Going to my room however was a different story. First the room which I stayed in overlooked a abandoned hotel lot they were trying to renovate (which the front desk attendant did explain) getting into the room I was greeted by a dead friend and a toothbrush on the sofa! ! After that I immediately checked for bed bugs since my wife, soon, and I would be sleeping on it. Surprisingly my sleep was ok but the dirty floors, and paint chipped walls detracted from the stay. The continental breakfast was ok. They had a small choice of items from the waffle maker to imitation omelette and cereal selection. The good news is A Super Walmart is literally a 20 second walk from the hotel and you can get drinks and food to store in the fridge and heat up in the microwave. Would I stay here again if it was just passing through for the night? Maybe.

If you’re looking for a quick nights stay, this is the place. The rooms are decent, the grounds are well kept and the pool is nice.

The receptionist Kelia, was very friendly, nice and helpful! I went to her for any questions, concerns or needs I had. When I walked in the stairwell I was a little concern I didn’t see any cameras for peoples protection if your walking alone. When I made it to my room I used the facilities and noticed and wasn’t pleased with my bathroom vanity the sink was cracked and peeling. The bathroom has no fan for ventilation when using the shower, When going to call the front desk I did not know how to call. The remote was also dead. Opening up the windows in the morning I noticed it looked like it had a poster on it and wasn’t taken down properly leaving huge chunks on the window it looked like bird poop on the inside. I was very displeased but didn’t leave because of Kelia.

I have been doing urban exploration for years, occasionally camping out in hotels that have been shut down and abandoned for years and years. Some of those places were cleaner than this Days In.
First, when I made my reservation online, I immediately called the location and had asked for a ground floor room and I have some reduced mobility recently, and occasionally have to walk with a cane. I was assured that this would not be a problem, but when I arrived, I was told that they only have rooms on the second floor. This was a problem, but I was tired and didn’t feel like arguing it, so I walked up the stairs, and dealt with it.
The real issues started as soon as we walked into our room. There was a weird musty smell that permeated the entire room, so we had to leave our door open for a couple hours just to try to get the smell to lessen. When we pulled back the covers on the beds, there was dirt, hair, and stains, as if the sheets hadn’t been changed. Then we noticed a small pool of a wet sticky substance on the bed cover itself. It was disgusting.
Also, as soon as we took our shoes off, we noticed that we were kicking around dirt on the floor. They obviously hadn’t vacuumed in at least a week.
I called the front desk and asked for a clean room, and they said they didn’t have any, and there was nothing they could do, so I went to the desk personally, and they said they would just cancel my reservation and I could stay somewhere else. Unfortunately, it was well after midnight, and we just needed to get some sleep.
We finally got the front desk to give us some clean sheets, which solved the hair and dirt problem in the beds (they were still badly stained), and we carefully threw the bed covers with the sticky stuff into a pile in the corner out of the way. About this time, we were visited by a woman (our door was still open) offering her «services» for $ 20. When we declined, she said she would do it for a beer. We again declined and asked her to go on her way. The door was immediately closed.
I had difficulty sleeping because of the nasty smell. Right at 9:30 I finally went to get some breakfast. As I was standing there waiting for a group of kids to stop playing in the cereal so I could get to the counter and get some food, an employee came out and removed the food. I gave him an angry look, and he told me that the continental breakfast ended at 9:30. I would have thought they would have let people in line finish.
As we were packing up our stuff back in the room, we found the source of the smell. There was black mold under the sink and around the edges of some of the carpet.
I think a call to the health department may be in order.

Place is in need of renovation. Small bathroom, no visible working vent, fixtures move and were corroded. The place is dirty. Carpet stained and worn. Floors move in spots and they creek. Ceiling has a very large crack that was plastered over. Refrigerator is a good size. Standard tv and Internet options. Dresser drawer was broken and foot stool was missing a foot. Noisy air conditioning unit. Door did not hang right so needed a shove to close.

Their rooms are in need of renovation. The counter tops seem to be new, but everything else was really old, and you can tell that the cleaning crew just does the minimal in their cleaning up process. All of their pillows had dirt stains in which you can tell they try to hide by flipping it inside out. The edges/​corners of the walls (especially in the bathroom) had a bunch of dirt that was not swept/​mopped up. There’s even some sort of a spider cocoon in the bathroom by the frame of the door. The floor makes creaking sounds whenever you walk across the room (and we were on the first floor). The toilet sounds like it’s about to lift off the ground every time you get up off it.
Breakfast is also just very minimal — bleh.
