Days Inn Fort Jackson Columbia - Columbia 34.06791, -80.95777

The beds were hard and uncomfortable and it seemed to be in a bad area. The walls were dirty and the bathroom seemed to have some water damage. The staff was very nice and friendly and they did have hair dryers and iron/ironing board in the rooms. Still not worth it to me. The hot breakfast was okay but I would have rather ate at McDonald's or Hardee's which was walking distance. The cleaning staff came really early. We were in town for a military graduation and were gone between 8-9am and she had already come by our room. When we would get back the room was still in the same condition we left it in and we had to get someone to bring us clean towels.

Let me first say that I picked this hotel because of reviews and because it was close to Ft. Jackson and we were attending a graduation there. I don't know if they have employees who give the reviews what but don't trust them. Upon first arriving we thought the hotel was "ok". It needed a lot of updating and the bathroom walls were really dirty, other than that we thought ok the price wasn't bad so we figured we would deal with it. No wonder the hotel is non refundable. My 15 month old's shoes kept getting black on the toes from crawling. We couldn't figure out why until the bottom of my socks were black, not brown but black like dirty oil. It was disgusting. Dark black sludge would cover his shoes after a few minutes of cleaning them. We had three different rooms and I can't say anything about the one on the 3rd floor (I didn't go up there) but both rooms on the 1st floor were gross. Housekeeping came before 8:30am and if you weren't gone by then your room stayed dirty. The remote didn't work, some of the power outlets didn't work, and the hot breakfast wasn't very good. Biscuits were like rocks, gravy was watered down, and they also added water to the eggs. They didn't tell us but the hot breakfast is only Mon-Fri. The guy down the street at Taco Bell told us we were in the "Hood". A police officer patrolled the parking lot on foot every night which although made us feel better, also let us know that it was in fact "the hood".

The hotel was close to shopping, some restuarants and Fort Jackson itself. However it is a little run down and for the price could be a little better the pool was even a little dirty. Otherwise it was ok.

Had low expectations and was very satisfied. Figure it would be a dump because of location and price. Was bery nice. Old but nice.

We stayed for our sons graduation from basic training at Fort Jackson. Staff was really helpful with directions. Hotel breakfast was wonderful. I would definately stay again.

No irons in the room....it aggrivated me. The beds were hard as a slab of cement.

The room itself was okay; basic, no frills with some defects (lights didn't work). Our major complaint was that the neighborhood was seedy and made us feel unsafe. Lots of questionable coming and going, people hanging around. Breakfast was unsatisfactory, very little on offer (first time I've been given tickets that we had to turn in - weird).

Pretty good hotel for its price. Bad Chinese restaurants.

This hotel was ok for what we needed it for.. A place to sleep before we got back on the road but I wouldn't choose it again simply because of it's surroundings. Our room was "ok" but my parents' room smelled bad and was hot.

I stayed at this hotel to attend my husbands graduation at Fort Jackson. We only needed the room for two days and it was fine for what we needed it for. The hotel is very close to Fort Jackson and the front desk provided very easy directions to get there. Its also very close to the freeway from the airport, and different restaurants so we were not driving all arround town. The free breakfeast isnt bad either. They served eggs, biscuts and gravy etc.Its not going to be a luxuary experience, but it was not bad either.

Was not bad at all. It was near the Beach. Everything was clean.

Needed a place to sleep for one night during kids soccer event near Ft. Jackson. it served the purpose. Expected a two star hotel... that's what we got. Beds were decent. Shower was hot. Had a no smoking room... no smoke smell but musky. Floors and counters were clean but walls had damage and cracks. internet connection was slow.

The breafast area is really nice,you can make your own belgan waffles, there is also cereals and toast.

Overall, my stay was good and I would stay again, but I had a problem with my tub where the stopper would not stay up during the shower, therefore, I had water standing in the tub.

This hotel is very lacking from the old bed to the very flat pillows to the horrid breakfast and to top it off there were cockroaches in my room! The only positive thing was that it was across the street from the mall.

Stayed at hotel while attending graduation at Fort Jackson. The hotel was close to the base, and across the street from the mall, movies, restaurants, etc. Room was okay for what it was needed for. Furniture was broken. Staff was kind. Parking was great. Would recommend, especially if needing a close hotel for Fort Jackson graduation. Close to base.

this hotel should be rated as class 2

The hotel looks nothing like the picture, and they gave us a room when we opened the door someone else was already staying in the room. the breakfast was almost unedible and the management booked three families into one room on the same night and seemed unconcerned that me my wife and 2 kids walked into a room that was already occupied.

My father my one year old and i stayed here for my sisters graduation form ft Jackson. we only stayed for two nights but it was very nice. the hotel is very clean the staff are very polite and helped us to get a crib for my daughter. the only complaint that i have is that the beds are not comfy at all. i would recommend that you bring your own pillow.

Hotel accomodations were decent. Front desk clerk/asst manager was rude and not curteous to not only me but the two guests checking out in front of me. However, housekeeping and the waitstaff went out of their way to provide local directions and a kind smile to us.

Very cheap price, you get what you pay for. No bugs but room did smell like it had been a smoking room not long before. Staff took photocopy of my license and got annoyed when I asked for it back when I was checking out. Breakfast was very basic with bread, no bagels or muffins or donuts. Just cereal, eggs, sausage and grits. Overall was a good place to spend the night in a bed if that is all you need.

Days Inn on Garners Ferry Rd was wonderful. It was clean and close to many places. I would recommend it to families and singles as well. The Days Inn on Parklane wasn't the best only because I was told they had microwaves and refrigerators in the room and there wasn't. Days Inn in Saraland Alabama made up for the one on parklane. Overall, I would stay at a Days Inn anytime.

room was fine, price was cheap. About a $20 cab ride to five points from the hotel.

very conveinent to Fort Jackson, everything that you need is in walking distance

the hotel was very close to fort jackson, which was our reason for being there but the room was not up to normal days inn standards, and ive stayed in numerous days inn hotels throughout the country, the beds were hard, the linen smelled like it hadnt been washed, there was holes in the bathroom door, I asked the front desk for a couple of extra towels and they had none, on the good side the maintence was there withn 10 min of being called and there was a decent/ good hot breakfast but it being a military town it was a bit disappointing, but the price wasnt bad you truely get what you pay for

The hotel staff were very helpful and the rooms condition was fine. The room did have a strong odor in it however. It was very close and easy to get to Fort Jackson for my son's graduation. The only real problem I had was that I did not receive a receipt from the hotel when I checked out.

I would recommend visiting and staying at this hotel. We went to see my daughter graduate from boot camp at Fort Jackson, but because tropical storm Hanna was coming they moved everything up a day. So we called the hotel while in route to South Carolina and they graciously change the night of our stay in the hotel. The girl at the desk was great and I would like to thank her for all the effort she put into finding and changing our room.

Hotel very close to I40 which is really good. The outside of the hotel is OK but the rooms are ugly inside. The remote of the TV didn't work and the bed was one of the worse I have slept in my whole life.

It was inexspensive, which is what I was looking for.

room was clean and organized. Bed was not real comfortable but overall good room for the money

Room was is disrepair. The safety lock was broken and all the arms of the chairs where broken. As a hole the hotel was very close to Fort jackson for those going to a graduation excercise and was quiet and the beds comfortable. The front staff was very friendly and accomodating.

The hotel was in a great location and exceeded my expectations. After reading past reviews I was leery of staying there but I was totally surprised by the hotel. I would stay there again. Refrigerator in room, micro, ironing board & iron, coffee, what more did I need? The price was right and it had easy access to Fort Jackson and my granddaughter's graduation.

location was very convient. close to xhopping and dining areas. breakfast was great.

was apprehensive after reading other reviews before our trip - the comments from negative reviews were unfounded - the room was clean - employees were friendly - the breakfast served was more than adequate - good restaurants nearby and very close to visitors gate access to Fort Jackson .

Room was dirty, bed very uncomfortable, carpet smell bad

The linen on one of the beds needed to be changed when I arrived. The housekeeper did change the linen. The parking lot was very congested. The paint was peeling off the wall. The complimentary breakfast was the best thing about my stay.

We came to Columbia for my daughter's graduation from boot camp and couldn't be happier with the location of the hotel. Tony at the front desk was very helpful. The room was basic, but very clean and quiet. We would recommend it to our friends.

The hotel lobby was somewhat shabby. The room was worn and the mattress had obviously seen better days. The complimentary breakfast was minimal with only two choices of cereal, one choice of milk and no fruit. One opened loaf of white bread lay by the toaster. The only juice available was apple juice. There were however three choices of grocery store doughnuts.

The room was really small. There was old coffee in the microwave and another cup of something else in the room. Not enough towels provided at all. When they clean your room while you're gone for the day, they turn off the air conditioner, so when you come back, you come back to a hot room. The bed was not comfortable. The site says check-in is at 2pm, but it's at 3pm, and they don't allow you to come early. The site also says check-out time is 12pm, but it's 11am!

The condition of the motel was great and the room was very clean. But the smoke alarm kept us awake beeping all the time and the TV remove didn't work. The breakfast was good and the coffee was good.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the staff was helpfull and pleasant. They helped with travel information and other questions. There was breakfast in the morning enough to get you through lunch. The only thing that I was critical of was the A/C was noicey and rattley. I think if they upgrade the A/C it would be great. I would difinately stay here again.
