We showed up at 3 pm to check in to our 2 hotel rooms. We did not get into the 1st room until 5:30 PM and the 2nd room was not ready until 8 pm. When I requested additional towels the on-site staff told me to take some out of a box that was in the floor of the lobby- the used towels. They told me they did not have any clean towels.
Plus, the ice machines worked and the parking lot is very bright at night time.

I never expect too much from a RR Inn, but this one was particularly concerning. The room was not particularly clean. There were 2 cockroaches in the room (cliché, I know, but this is the first time I’ve actually experienced that myself). And, the check-in was not optimal either (staff was nowhere to be found for 15 minutes and then when they did show up, check in took a long time and the staff was all attitude. There is no good time for any of this, but at close to midnight, I had no patience for this.

We were greeted by a lovely and helpful desk attendant. The room was relatively clean, but we encountered several problems--a sink that backed up during the night, bugs in the bathroom, and a group of construction workers hanging around outside our room until late in the night. When we came back from having breakfast at a restaurant, our room keys didn't work. The staff member at the front desk remedied the problem. The next morning, we took one load of belongings to the car and, when we tried to re-enter the room, our keys didn't work again. Then, when we were ready to check out, there was no one on duty at the desk. We waited about 10 minutes and gave up on getting a receipt.

For a none smoking property I felt like I walked to a cigarette’s chimney because of the smoke smell. I had to wait about 15 to 20 minutes to be checked in and not because it was busy but because there was nobody available. When the guy at the front desk finally showed up, there was no apologies, no greeting but a simple do you want to check in, unprofessional service at its best. Woke up in the morning, there was no hot water in the room at all, called the front desk to find out what was going on, all I got was “oh yeah we are aware of the situation but maintenance won’t be here until morning can’t give you a time though” so I left. The room was clean though. I guess they have good housekeeper but terrible front desk staff.

The hotel housed homeless individuals. People were smoking and drinking all around the hotel. I felt unsafe. I didn’t feel comfortable being on the first floor and didn’t want to leave my car unattended. I observed drug use and sales in and around the hotel. I was very disappointed with my stay. The room smelled of cigarettes and I had bedbugs.

Neither I nor my fiancee have ever seen anything like this. When we arrived on the property (close to 10PM), there were police in the front lobby with the clerk. We could not even get the clerk to interact & tell us what was happening. Another guest was siting in the lobby & noted they had been there for an hour.
We left to get some things & came back an hour later (after looking around to see if other hotels had vacancies- they did not, due to the holiday weekend), were able to check into our room. No apology/explanation for what happened.
There was a couple having a domestic dispute in the parking lot & yelling back & forth. The front desk was informed and appeared wholly indifferent.
There was an apparent prostitute walking around the hotel for most of the night.
I attempted to reach out to hotels.com several times about the situation & they were also completely apathetic. Perhaps (but doubtfully) this gets their attention. This property should not be listed.
Stay here at your own risk! (literally)

I had requested a ground floor room due to a knee replacement but they did not hold one for me and the elevator was not working. Very strong smell of weed everywhere. Room was clean, the bed was terrible, and the shades did not keep out much light.

I stayed here for work travel while in Columbia. You get what you pay for, which is my best takeaway. The front desk staff were kind. However, the whole property reeked of weed, with a very mildewy/musty room smell (lingered on suitcase and clothing for 2 days). I believe some people are motel residents who loiter around the property.
I’d recommend spending a little more if it's within your budget to stay elsewhere because the property photos and description are pretty misleading.

Staff were difficult to understand. The hotel seemed a little sketchy and had a few residents talking on the phone or walking their dogs around outside. The room smelled like pot and seemed like it was cleaned in a hurry. There were Matchbox cars under the nightstand that has obviously not been moved for cleaning in a while. The shower was cracked and dirty so we were glad we didn’t have to use it during our quick stay. Overall, it was fine to rest for the night but I definitely wouldn’t stay here again.

What a scary place! It’s the kind of hotel you might go to for something… immoral. I feel so sad for the KIDS and DOGS that seem to live there? I booked two nights in a “standard room” for work expecting a bed, bathroom, mini fridge, and microwave. A “standard room”, despite the photo, is literally a bed and bathroom……. Just enough for certain needs I suppose.
The really quiet guy in a casual t-shirt at the front desk [BEHIND A GLASS WINDOW] moved me to an “ungraded” room, without charge, but I still opted to check out after spending the whole evening out in my car, locking myself in my room after it got dark, and trying to sleep there for one night. I didn’t even bother trying to get a refund so please DO NOT spend your money, for me! There were cigarette burns everywhere, the fridge wasn’t even cool - let alone cold, the chairs were all ripped up, the bed might have been 20 years old, there was trash everywhere outside - including a shopping cart full of it, and the smell was absolutely nauseating. Didn’t even bother using the microwave because it was dirty. I don’t get out much but I guess I should have known, it is a Red Roof Inn after all. Lesson learned!
