Super 8 Columbia

We were in Columbia to see our son's grad. from basic training @ Fort Jackson. Got to the hotel fairly late & just wanted to get some sleep. This obviously is NOT a 4-star hotel, it barely qualifies as a 1-star. The room looked ok at first but we were right next to the ice machine on one side of the door and a pop vending machine on the other which made for a lot of noise every time their refridgeration kicked on. We even unplugged the in room refridgerator for the same reason. I would not recomend using the microwave either. Thankfully we didn't need the air conditioner as it had visible mold just inside the vent and was falling off the wall. The fan in the bathroom could wake the dead!!!! The shower head wasn't screwed on all the way, good thing I noticed before turning it on.(one thing I took care of myself) There were a few stains on the walls but no visible bugs as I had heard is an issue in the area. It was definately not a comfortable stay! For a room booked in avdvance, they would know how many people are going to be there and should put enough coffee makings in the room as well. As it was, we booked 3 nights and only stayed there 2. We stayed in another hotel one night with our other family that was VERY nice.

I am very disappointed in the room we stayed in at the Super 8 Motel. There were roach bug's in the bathroom and probably in the room where we slept too. Also the wallpaper was peeling bad and the carpet was worn out. And for their complimentary breakfast it was some very strong coffee and a bagel. Could not locate a ice machine anywhere. My husband and I were just glad we only had to be there during the night for the most part. We went there to see our son's graduation troop at Ft. Jackson. It was the first troop he had trained as a drill sergant and was so proud. And so were we. Also alot of traffic noise too.
