Hotel Details

Accommodation

Air-conditioned rooms with tea and coffee facilities, microwaves, refrigerators, work desks, hairdryers, and sofa beds in family configurations.
Room types include double rooms (1 bed), quadruple rooms (2 beds), and suites. All units come standard with a microwave, refrigerator, ironing facilities, heating, and an AM/FM alarm clock. The property offers interconnecting family rooms, making it suitable for groups. Each room includes a sofa bed, adding extra sleeping flexibility. The hotel is older, and some rooms have dated decor and older furniture. Lighting and carpet condition can vary. Entry doors may have gaps that allow noise and light to seep in from the corridor, which can affect sleep quality. Some rooms may carry residual smoke odour. The property is generally clean, but condition inconsistencies mean that room assignment matters. Guests prioritizing quiet and a modern finish may wish to confirm the room's recent updates and request a corridor-facing or upper-floor room away from the highway.

Dining

Complimentary American buffet breakfast served daily, plus a coffee shop and room service available.
The daily breakfast includes hot items such as waffles, eggs, and sausage, along with bread, pastries, fruit, and coffee. Service runs from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, with the buffet cleared promptly at the end time - latecomers may miss the hot food. The selection is described as basic, with limited variety; items such as hard-boiled eggs, plain yogurt, or cream cheese are not always offered. On weekends when the hotel is busy, food tends to be restocked quickly. The coffee is available during breakfast hours and often throughout the day at the front desk. A coffee shop and room service provide additional casual dining options. For those wanting a larger meal or later dining, several chain and local restaurants are within a short drive, though their operating hours have been reported as inconsistent in the surrounding area.

Wellness and Leisure

Complimentary fitness centre and seasonal outdoor pool.
The fitness centre includes basic cardio equipment and is free for all guests. The pool area provides an outdoor space for relaxation and family recreation during warmer months. These amenities suit short-stay travellers, business guests, and families looking for convenient on-site leisure options. The gym has limited equipment and lacks dumbbells and a mat, so it is best for basic workouts and stretching. The pool is seasonal and may not be operational year-round; it is advisable to confirm availability before planning a swim. Overall, the wellness offerings are practical but not extensive, providing a useful complement to the core services of the hotel.

Facilities and Services

24-hour front desk, free on-site parking, free Wi-Fi, and no pets allowed.
Free public parking is available on site without reservation, and the lot is large enough for trucks and trailers, making it convenient for road travellers. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel but may not support VPN connections, which can be a limitation for remote workers. The front desk is staffed 24 hours, handling late check-ins and providing assistance around the clock. Additional services include a vending machine for drinks and snacks, and fax/photocopying for business needs. Housekeeping is available on request; daily towel exchange may require visiting the lobby. The hotel does not allow pets, and check-in requires a minimum age of 21. Accepted cards include American Express, Visa, Diners Club, JCB, Discover, Carte Blanche, and MasterCard. The property is smoke-free throughout, with designated smoking areas outside.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room away from the highway-facing side to minimize noise from the road and corridor.

  • 02

    Plan for breakfast before 9:00 AM, as the hot buffet is cleared promptly at that time.

  • 03

    Use I-20 and I-26 for easy access to downtown Columbia, USC campus, and the airport, making the location ideal for road trips and event weekends.
