Please make it known $20 cash deposits are due before customers arrive. No one likes being inconvenienced. The hallways smell. That carpet needs to be pulled up. Mattress was flat on 1 side, needs to be flipped. It's old. Everything is old & run down.. AND THEY DID IN FACT, NOT LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR ME!

7541 Nates Rd, Columbia, SC, 29223 Total nonsense, this hotel. Doesn’t even look like the pictures shown on website. Elevator not working “for a long minute” per male front desk attendant who checked me in. Serious ADA complaint! Door not locked to stairway you have to WALK UP to your room, do not come here if you have a disability Pool closed in July with weeds growing out of pool cover at steps. Don’t know what Motel 6 you copied pictures from, but they certainly are not of this place. My receipt said I had to pay $2 fee, but front desk guy told me I had to pay $20 cash deposit. What hotel makes you pay that! The bed sounds like bed springs from the the 80s. My room selection said a queen bed, it’s a double. Seriously, the only hotel I didn’t want to take a shower in my bare feet and not until I left. The male front desk attendant, don’t know who or how he was trained tried to get me to pay again! I told him I had already paid, but it took him quite awhile before he was able to see my reservation. I finally got to my room, rust on light fixtures. Horrible squeaky bed. No way to adjust cold in the room, thermostat wasn’t even visible. I had to sleep with my jacket on zipped up it was so cold in the room. Toilet was clogged after 1st use - wouldn’t even flush. Nothing to stop it up! This is located near Ft. Jackson, so don’t know if it is a 1 hr motel or what or tourist TRAP. A frickin joke!!! My review is so long, it won’t let me type anymore. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Worst hotel stay of my life

Staff not at desk at check in and not courteous. Room smelled damp and musty. Refuses not work and freezer had a puddle of water. No shower curtain. Towels were very damp. Called number posted in lobby but the lady claimed not to know Motel 6 after putting me on extended hold twice. Called M6 service line and was treated very professionally. Formal complaint filed and one night refund expected. Promise to switch rooms for my 2nd night. When I returned Fri. afternoon to switch rooms, the General Manager was not friendly or courteous. when I got my belongings from the original room, the refrigerator was gone but there were 2 puddles of water on the floor. New room was much better but w/o a refrigerator. I got very little sleep that night though due to other guests being very loud inside and outside. Dogs barked and kids screamed. All this noise continued most of the night.

Unfortunately this was a property I would not recommend, especially with children. The staff are struggling to maintain even a low level of hospitality. Elevator out of order, Emergency exit disabled for entry, smelly and hot in corridor, stairwells, had to go back to request a different room as the first was to smoke filed. We had a planned event and no time to make a hotel switch so accepted the second room with less smell. Had to pay a $20 cash deposit, was told it was to prevent smoking in the room. This hotel should not be listed on Expedia.

Wouldn't be back

This motel leaves a lot to be desired. Smelled like weed and there was a dog barking all night. The tv screen had broken pixels all down the middle. Fire alarm battery was low and beeped all night in the hallway. The stairwell smelled rancid. The first floor was flooding between 4 rooms and no hazard signs. Elevator didn’t work & pool was closed in July.

The first room on the first floor TV and phone did not work so they transferred us to another room on the second floor. When they changed our room to the second floor the elevator did not work, it was not clean, had roaches and spiders. It does not have a refrigerator or microwave in the room.
