Budget Inn Express in Columbia

My room was dirty. My sheets had cigarette holes and burns. My sheets and pillow cases were dirty looking.I woke up with Three bedbugs bite on my elbow. I then told management and they said we don't have bedbugs and walked off. No vinding machine. No restaurant within walking distance. Management walks straight in your room in the morning without knocking. And most of all the rooms is not worth asking price.

For the price what can you expect. The room was not that bad. It had electric wires hanging from the ceiling, but with caps on the wires. Certain details can be improved from furniture. Bathroom, AC, refrigerator, TV okay. The biggest problem with the room is the smell of cigarette in it. This should be solved by washing the rug and chair fabric which I am sure they haven't washed in a while. As you walk up the stair case to the second floor, their should be a sign identifying the room numbers to the right and the rooms to the left on that floor. You have to walk all around looking for your room.There is a fire extinguisher box without the extinguisher. A guaranteed violation of a fire department code. It would have been great to know when I arrived that there was a soda machine and ice maker underneath the stair case. Saw it the last day of my stay. Spacious parking. Great location, fast access to interstate, main roads, down town Columbia. Minute drive to hospital, stores, fast food, restaurants, supermarkets, 15 minutes to Fort Jackson, you name it, Great price and location. I would stay again in smoke free room.
