It is definitely an extended stay place. We heard every footstep of the room above us, through my headphones and music. Not the hotels fault, really, that folks were loud but I'd ask for a room higher up or one with no one above me if I stayed here again.

Started off badly! Was greeted in the entryway by a lady on the kiosk. It was like a sauna in that little entry! She took 20 min to check me in, on a reservation that was had already been paid. Then I still had to wait at \"front desk \" for key! Very inefficient, hot and annoying! Hotel had NO ice machine. Gave me an ice tray! What the hell good was that gonna do me at 10pm at night!?? Bed was very uncomfortable. Noisy. Was awakened violently by a fire alarm this morning. Went off 3 different times! Why?? Who knows?? No explanation! Only positive about hotel was room was nice and cool, and had plenty of hot water!

Horrible check in if you’re checking in after the front desk closes. The employees that you have to talk to on the kiosk are horrible. The Bed had urine stains and pubic hair on it. Please pull the fitted sheet back before sitting on the beds. Hair was in the sink and bath tubs. Had to switch rooms twice and neither room was acceptable, due to the lack of upkeep. I left the hotel the same night one hour after I checked in. I will not be revisiting this hotel.

First, at 9:30pm when we checked in, there was no one working. I was not aware that this facility was unstaffed. I checked in using their kiosk that is connected to someone off-grounds. I did not love this, but we had already paid, and my family was ready to stop for the night. After getting the key, we went to our room, which was very plain and simple, which was fine. My daughter went to shower, and she saw a live orangish color bug above the shower, and there were ants on the floor. I immediately checked between the mattresses and the wall for bed bugs, but I didn’t see any clear signs. Then, I sat on the bed for a few minutes, and when I got up, I had a bug crawling on my shoulder. It was a bed bug! We immediately packed up. I went to the front desk, but it was closed down, and no staff was around. There was a line of people at the kiosk, and I was not sticking around as it was now after 10:30, and I needed to find a new hotel to stay in. I called the phone number for this hotel as we were leaving and explained the situation. The representative asked me why I didn’t come see her at the front desk! There was no one to see there! Then, she asked why I didn’t come to the kiosk. There was a line, and I didn’t really think they would want me standing there fuming and spreading the word about the bugs in our room. She said I would have to call in the morning for a refund. I have tried calling, and now, no one answers. Beware!

This was an overnight stay for me and my pup. The facility was clean and easy to get to. The room was clean and had everything I needed to sleep and shower.
The check in made me uncomfortable. There is no one at the front desk and you talk to a kiosk with an administrator located somewhere else in the world.
The credit card machine was broken so I had to hold up my credit card for them to manually add in to the computer. I told the kiosk administrator that if there was a night manager on property I would be happy to pay with cash. He responded saying they are cashless. The moment I got my room key and was able to get into the lobby and there was an employee behind the front desk. That entire experience felt super shady and I called my credit card company and ordered a new card and number just to be safe.
Again, great stopping point for my roadtrip, it was clean, well lit, and safe, but just be aware of the check-in process.

The hotel was very nice and clean. Check in in was very simple and the front desk gal was very friendly and helpful. The biggest negatives are the lack of amenities and comfort items. There are no disposable utensils, coffee, or supplies of any kind in the room or lobby. Hair dryer you have to get from front desk which isn’t the biggest deal, but for being $100 a night you would kind of expect certain amenities to be included. Only negative about the room was that there was a giant sticky mess on the ground “hidden” by the side chair and no coffee maker.

No one is at from desk from 10 pm to 8 am (have to use kiosk in entry way to check in). There was vomit left in front of entry doors over night so they may want to have at least one person on site to handle things like that.

The Pros: Clean property, clean & spacious room, convenient location, and abundant parking.

The Cons: The beds squeak anytime you move. Walls are paper thin so you will hear everything.
If you check in or out after office hours, you will have to use a kiosk with a remote reservation assistant. There is no on site staff after hours. There’s no breakfast available, but there are vending machines.

I had a one day stay for self-care and thought this location would be good since it’s a new facility. However, the room had a really harsh smell that never left. I ended up opening the windows to get some air. Although they give you a kitchen area there are no plates, pots, utensils. The bathroom could have been cleaner. Also, the walls are very thin, so you literally can hear people walking in the hallway and walking in the rooms above you which ultimately disturbed your sleep. When it was time to check out, no one was at the front desk and it wasn’t until I was leaving the door that leads you outside that I saw a kiosk and the gentleman that was virtually there said that he could check me out. Unfortunately I do not think I will be going back.

The location is great and there's ample parking. The property is well kept and clean. Rooms are spacious and clean. However, keep in mind that this is more of an extended stay property. The mattress was on the lower side of mid. It's a suite... But the shelves are empty - no silverware, cups, bath towels, etc. Overall it's not bad, just don't expect luxury.

Avoid WoodSpring Suites Columbia–Irmo at all costs.

I booked an accessible room three weeks in advance through Expedia, choosing the “pay at property” option they offered. After a brutal 9-hour drive from West Palm Beach, I arrived exhausted, only to be told—without warning—that my reservation was cancelled.

The excuse? “We don’t accept payment at the hotel.” Completely absurd, since that option was clearly given during booking. Then, to make things worse, the clerk claimed the motel was fully booked and refused to help at all.

So apparently: they cancel confirmed reservations, blame their own payment option, and magically have no rooms left.

My wife and I were left stranded as it got dark. Calling Expedia was useless—30 minutes wasted with a rep who did nothing. We had no choice but to find another motel at nearly double the price, just to survive the night.

The real insult? When I called Expedia again, a manager told me that same motel claimed my room was still available and they were “waiting for us.” That’s either incompetence or outright dishonesty—either way, unacceptable.

Yes, the charge was eventually cancelled, but I was stuck paying much more elsewhere, and no compensation ever came.

This was a complete failure on both sides. Zero accountability, zero professionalism. If you want peace of mind when traveling, stay far away from this place

This review is based off of the staff on premise. They have limited staffed hours. I was told you cannot get any extra pillows, or blankets as they do not have them (was even told they were destroyed which raised bug questions..) anymore, so if you have a pullout couch in the room no sheets, blanket or pillow available. My room had one pillow between the three occupants for a king bed and a pullout.. they told me there were two, there was not, and they couldn't give us more. They have security Kiosk in the front to assist with check-in and after hour questions, but they really cannot do anything as its a virtual assistant (Stan was very cordial, but not effective help in anyway) which really was frustrating when they also told me both in person, and through the Kiosk I could not speak to a supervisor or manager. If you need a room for the night with maybe a pillow and a blanket, this might work for you.

Rooms are kinda expensive for having NOTHING in them, no coffee pot, rack to hold luggage, blow dryer, hand towels and you have to pay extra for wifi! Right after we checked in and got to room we were getting situated and the door opens up with woman from cleaning staff, no knocks, to drop off pillow cases that we didn’t need. The beds were so uncomfortable and having to turn over often and bed squeaks when u move. Walls are so thin that you can hear everything from neighbors to hallway and the walking around in the room above. Was told at check in there was a $10 fee for our dog, a senior, and was charged $59.20 for her and called and woman said “sorry, non refundable. Have a good day” and hung up. So $148 for room and $60 for dog?? Then this morning as we are eating our breakfast from McDs we hear screaming in room next door and she’s yelling to stop! We called 911 and police show up and arrested two of the three people in the room. And the hallways and elevator smell like pot, skunk. Needless to say we will never be back and stay wasn’t even worth half of what we paid.

Intended for long term stays, not overnight. Had to check in through a video kiosk even though there was someone at the desk - and it took a LONG time. It took four tries to get through the entrance fast enough before it locked again. Amenities were on mini bottle of shampoo - that was it. Bed was made badly, with blanket and top sheet so askew that they had one corner on the floor. Wi-fi secure codes didn’t work, and unsecured was slow. Clean, decent sized - but I won’t stay again.

The on screen, virtual agent, checking someone in, was not a great experience. When someone comes in for a five hour sleep, so they can continue driving, and a check-in takes close to 20 minutes. That is awful. We spent about 8% of our stay checking in, when we already had a reservation. In general, the place does not give off the vibes of being safe. It is designed like one of those convenience stores were bad drug deals go down at 3 o'clock in the morning. I prefer paying $50-$60 more and having a much better experience. The betting was not fantastic, the bathroom door did not lock. This is the first poor review that I have left and I've been a member of Hotels.com for over 20 years. Was it awful? It could be worse. It was mostly clean and while I was not checking in, I was able to get some sleep. Would've also helped the virtual guy process faster, if it was not for some sort of alarm ringing in our ear as we were checking in. Not the worst place, however, I would not recommend it.

I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. It is not what you expect based on the details and descriptions provided.

The room had a kitchen, but no utensils at all, making it completely useless. There was also no hair dryer in the room. I went to the front desk to borrow one and was told none were available.

I stayed for four nights, and no housekeeping ever came to clean the room or refresh towels. On top of that, the hotel is extremely noisy. The hallway has wood floors, and you can clearly hear people walking, talking, and passing by, making it very hard to rest.

This place is not worth the money. Instead of relaxing, the stay was stressful. I strongly suggest going somewhere else where you at least get basic amenities and free breakfast, rather than wasting your money here.

The WiFi setup is a joke because unless you pay another $10 you can only connect 1 device and all you can do with it is check your email and browse the internet.
There’s no pots or pans or anything to use for cooking and this hotel is a suite with a small kitchen in each room. No way to make coffee and no breakfast for guests. The bed was really uncomfortable as well. Please spend just a little bit more money to not stay in this hotel. It is so worth it.

After a long day on the road when we arrived we were informed there was a $50 non-refundable pet deposit fee in addition to the $10 per night pet fee that was posted on Orbitz. That turned an economical overnight stay into an expensive lesson.

I didn't use any of the public facilities (gym etc) but they too were clean and secure. They required a $50 non-refundable deposit for pets but that wasn't surprising - the low room rate kept the price reasonable. DirecTV in the room was a nice bonus as well.

Horrible. Rude front desk. No ice. He handed us two empty ice trays. No nothing in kitchen part, not even a coffee pot. Asked for sofa in room. No sofa. My husband had to sit in a straight chair. Mattress was on the ground and it was pathetic. My back still hurts. People playing music loud and banging up above us. For $200?? You’ve got to be kidding. Only thing good was the cleanliness.
