“Needs a lot of work, too pricey for what you get”
This place can't be too bad, since I've stayed the last two times I've been to Columbia, mostly due to its location, and the fact that, while still overpriced, it's less costly than several other nearby motels. It is an old Days Inn that needs a lot of work. Carpets in hallways are filthy, or at least so old they look that way. Same can be said for the large tubs. They're clean, but look so dirty they're not very appealing - the old "marble," or whatever it is, just looks filthy.
I do love the balconies, though, and the fact there are still some motels in the universe that allow smoking. (Even though both times I've been there have been no ashtrays provided in the "smoking" rooms.) The complimentary breakfast was pretty good, especially when considering it was free. Eggs, biscuts and gravy, fruit, pastries, a waffle maker. Not bad. Overall, I'd say I'd go again, but hope they will continue what I've been told is a makeover. For anyone who's even slightly picky, you will not be happy here.
