It was extremely overpriced. You’re staying there because you’re close to the base, but I would stay further away and just drive to the base.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff doesn't know what's going on from one shift to the next. I had to fight to get the third night added back to my stay after they removed it without telling me. The tub in the room was dirty with soap scum. The bathrooms near the pools were clogged and dirty and when we told them about it they said they'd send someone, but no one came the whole time we were down at the pool over an hour. The third floor off the elevator felt like you entered a sauna and they were late with the breakfast start on our first morning. The eggs in a bag that were microwave heated were gummy and gross.
There was not on towel rack in the bathroom. Tub didn’t drain properly. Had to ask three times to get fresh towels each day. They are very under staffed so cleaning didn’t happen as it should. Garbage was not emptied daily as it should have been.
We were here due to Hurricane Helene. The staff were very helpful, polite and all around hospitable. No complaint whatsoever. Every morning the breakfast was warm and stocked. The woman servicing the breakfast area greeted us with a warm smile every morning. Front desk were always available and went out of their way to accommodate us. Dining options around the property were plenty. Nicks quickly became our go-to being that it’s walkable and open late.
Thanks to everyone on the staff at Comfort Inn. We truly appreciate you all! From the front desk, to housekeeping, to the breakfast attendant. You all are awesome!!

Staff was rude, roaches were in first room, spoke with manager about refund they said they couldn’t give refund because I booked through Expedia but they offered to transfer me and my great aunt to another room, we switched rooms, visited my mom came back to room went to sleep I woke up to use bathroom Sunday night and noticed roaches on wall and coming out of air conditioning unit I didn’t want to wake up my aunt in the middle of the night she is 80 years old and has dementia I spoke with one of the employees about the complaint of roaches and could I get a full refund I took pictures and videos of the roaches I had to leave to take my aunt to her doctors appointment but asked to speak to a manager before I left employee stated her manager was running later I left then returned and employee stated that manager refunded me but I will have to wait on Expedia since I booked through a third party before I left I left my name and number with employee at the front desk the manger didn’t even bother to contact to let me know I would not ever recommend this hotel for a good stay I was highly disappointed and will never return
While the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating, the room we stayed in is suffering from old age and lack of care. I know that there were some “pardon our dust” signs because the hotel is receiving renovations, but a lot of the problems I saw were dirty floors and black-spotted caulking in the bathroom. There was also food from a previous guest in the fridge and the tv remote had some kind of gunk on it. There curtains were also improperly installed.
The new fixtures in the bathroom and wallpaper behind the beds only made the room look worse instead of better. A good vacuum on the carpet and a scrub on the tiles might’ve helped.
The beds were very comfortable but the pillows were small and overstuffed.
I stay in hotels quite often and this is probably one of the worst I’ve been in at this price point. Next time I stop in Columbia, I’ll probably just stay at the LaQuinta next door.
The room is filthy i checked in from out of state around 5 to change clothes & go to an event. Before i left around 540 i told the clerk the room was filthy & would be back but she could have another room ready for me when i get back. I appreciate her but all the rooms was filthy i have plenty of pics to show from the time i checked in. Really want a refund
What a mistake to stay here!! While we understand it is under construction, the rooms were very musty. No room service !! When we called the front desk, we were told we had to request it, needless to say the tiny supplies in the bathroom are a one day use for 2 adults. What a waste of money with poor customer service.
