Motel 6 Columbia, SC - Fort Jackson Area

Went to check in and they wanted a cash "deposit". We are from Canada and do not travel with cash. They wanted us to take money out of their cash machine to give them which would have given us at least as much as the "deposit" was. Walked out and went to a hotel that didn't demand a cash "deposit".

Was breaking up a long car ride from Florida.. The room was dirty smelled musty and mold and peeling paint from leaky ceiling.. Was woken up by the fire alarm at 130am that continued screeching. Fire company came and nobody ever checked the rooms.. alarm continued and was disarmed multiple times.. dogs were barking horrible night in a lopsided bed. Curtains stained no screens on windows.. no ice in ice machine. Stay away from this place

This was the worst stay I’ve ever experienced. The property was littered with trash and dirt and the smell of **** was inescapable. I was first sent to a room that was already occupied. The front desk staff addresses the issue so nonchalantly and made me sign a make shift contract stating I was switched to a new room. After getting to my “non smoking” room I noticed cigarette smoke stains on every surface. The floor was sticky and it reeked. I left immediately. You couldn’t pay me to stay here. Do yourself a favor and book anything else.

My room needed a total overhaul badly. Very badly. It was dirty, it was dingy, the mattress was old and uncomfortable, the tub needed resurfacing, no hot water in the sink (although there was hot water in the shower), the toilet paper holder was missing the part that holds the toilet paper sideways (so the roll was on the vanity), the blanket had a hole in a it that looked a lot like a hole from a lit cigarette, even though I was in a no-smoking room, and the hallway sure smelled like cigarette smoke. Worst part...I nabbed a cockroach running around my bathroom and flushed it down the toilet. They should have paid me to stay there!

Booked two rooms months in advance for a big event. 1st staff checked in but did not go to room, Judge for event checked in at 4PM and found stains on bedding, pillows in window seat, dirty temperature control, greasy fingerprints on counters, headboards, coffee maker. Air Conditioner vent was filled with dirt and even the clothset had huge pieces of dust/dirt in the floor. The stains and dirty cobweb like stuff on the bed skirts. We checked out immediately with the front desk and let manager know on Monday morning. Over a week later and still no refund. This dirty and duning Covid-19 times...... they really need to be shut down!
