Wingate by Wyndham Columbia/Fort Jackson

Upon entering our room, we instantly encountered a horrible smell, like a mixture of dirty feet and stale smoke. When you aren’t a smoker it sure stands out. The bed was very comfy and the pillows as well. I would also put body wash on the wall like your shampoo and conditioner is. Instead it was bar soap, which isn’t a problem when you have something to rest it on in the shower, so it kept falling off the top of the shampoo container and making the condition extra slippery. It worked out fine for us, but anyone elderly probably wouldn’t benefit from this. We have stayed at other Wingate by Wyndham’s and by far the worse one. I won’t mention the breakfast area.

Mediocre at best The room was not clean starting with the bathroom to the sheets on the bed. It was grit on the floor.

The only thing I didn't like is no pool that would be really great to have in the summer time

Not bad structure but the rooms needs to be clean The room assigned to me at the moment of checking in wasn’t clean. The beds were like someone just woke up. Then they changed my room, it was a little better but the floor was dirty, full of dust and even cereal on the floor. It was not a bad place..just need to focus on cleaning the rooms better.

The property is old and they've tried to update it with fresh paint and furnishings. It appears they didn't use drop sheets to paint the walls since there is paint splatter on the floors throughout. The beds were very comfy and the sheets were crisp and clean. The dated feeling of the building is very evident, door handles are broken or missing in the units, light switches don't work, etc. But it's a cost effective overnight stay and we felt that the beds were a positive and what we needed for our quick stay.

A bit of a sketchy neighborhood, tucked away, potholes. Staff were polite. Very basic.
