WINGATE BY WYNDHAM COLUMBIA FORT JACKSON, Columbia

The property sits on a road with significant potholes that can damage low-clearance vehicles. The immediate area is somewhat secluded and can feel unsafe at night. Several chain restaurants including IHOP, Fazoli's, Lizard's Thicket, Waffle House (within 1 km) and Texas Roadhouse (2 km) are within walking distance. Major attractions such as Robert Mills House, Columbia Museum of Art, EdVenture Children's Museum, and South Carolina State Museum are 14-16 km away. The location is convenient for Fort Jackson visits but requires a car for most other purposes.

Room types include double rooms with one bed, quadruple rooms with two beds, and suites. All rooms feature air conditioning and a private bathroom with a bath or shower. The quality of the renovation varies widely - some rooms have modern showers, new light-up mirrors, and comfortable beds, while others have paint splatters on floors, poorly finished caulking, unsecured flooring, or broken fixtures. Some rooms have had issues with mold, dampness, dirty linens, bedbugs, and cockroaches. The property is situated right next to railroad tracks, and passing trains can be very loud, especially during early morning hours. Rooms may also experience noise from other occupants and hall activity. The elevator has not been recently inspected. For the most reliable stay, inspect your room before settling in and request a room away from the tracks.

The breakfast offerings typically include pre-packaged items such as cereal, yogurt, breakfast sandwiches, waffle mix, and fruit. Coffee and juice are also provided. However, the availability and quality of the breakfast bar have been inconsistent, with reports of the bar being dirty, items running out, and the coffee being turned off early. There is no full restaurant on the property. Several chain eateries are within a 1 km walk for additional dining options. Guests with early departures may request a breakfast-to-go option.

The hotel does not have a pool or spa. The fitness room contains a few older pieces of equipment and an air hockey table. This space is suitable only for a very basic workout.
