“Title: Comfortable and Convenient Stay Near Columbia
I recently stayed at the Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Cayce I-26 Airport during a trip to Columbia, SC, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and value this hotel offers.
Location:
 The hotel's location is excellent—just off I-26 and only about 3 miles from Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE). It's also conveniently close to Fort Jackson, making it ideal for travelers and military families.
Room Quality: 
My room was clean and well-maintained, featuring modern amenities like a flat-screen TV, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker. The absence of carpet was a plus for me, as it gave the room a fresher feel. The bed was comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent.
Amenities:
 The hotel offers a seasonal outdoor pool, which I didn't have time to use but looked inviting. There's also free high-speed Wi-Fi and free parking, which was convenient for me.
Breakfast:
 The complimentary continental breakfast was a pleasant surprise. It included hot items like egg patties and biscuits and gravy, along with cereals, muffins, and fruit. It was a great way to start the day without having to leave the hotel.
Staff and Service:
 The staff were friendly and accommodating. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and they were helpful with any questions I had.
Overall Experience:
 For the price, this hotel offers great value. It's clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. Whether you're flying in or just passing through, I highly recommend the Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Cayce I-26 Airport for a hassle-free stay.”

“My husband and I recently stayed at Masters Inn in Cayce SC. It was a fair price for the area. The rooms were clean and neat. The office manager was amazing and really came through for a family needing 3 rooms for a few weeks. Atlanta you are truly my hero. After a house fire one would be absolutely misplaced but you and your wonderful house keeping staff took VERY good care of all 6 of us and our 7 service dogs.
Huge thanks to you and your entire house keeping staff.
You all deserve wings.
Thank you

“Polite and professional staff that was very accommodating to us as Helene refugees. Clean, well appointed room with plenty of space and comfortable bed. In room coffee is surprisingly good and more brewed available in the lobby. If we need a place to stay in Columbia, this will be the first place we call.”

“One of the few places that were open and serving drinks when I was here in Columbia for the day. Two beers on tap and tables on the street. Nice place to stop for a quick pint.”

“We were staying here for a few days for a wedding.

First, the location was great since we were only 5 minutes from the venue and only 15 minutes from the airport!

Second, all the staff was super friendly and wonderful! Really nice facility!

I do want to give a huge shoutout to Samara! She was in charge of the breakfast buffet and she was super friendly! She greeted everyone when they came down and was such a pleasant conversation. She really made our visit one to remember.

I am hoping to visit again next year and will be putting my focus to using this hotel again!”

“Dina the front office manager is truly one in a million. We had an unfortunate event on our way back from North Carolina to Florida. She was understanding and extremely helpful to us. We were traveling with pets and needed a room last minute. The hotel is gorgeous! The rooms are comfortable and beautiful! We highly recommend this location. Ask for Dina!”

“I’ve never stayed in the actual hotel, But the hotel restaurant and cafe is AMAZING. The staff is so nice and the coffees and food are very reasonably priced. Also is a very good place to study for students.”

“The breakfast was nice. There are plenty of hot items to choose from like grits, oatmeal, sausage, waffles, and omelets. The king room we had was very clean and cozy. Definetly will be my first choice to stay when I visit Columbia again.”

“We were transiting our family and moving to a new state and I am so glad we came across this hotel. The staff were personable, the food was good, dinner was served 3 nights a week, and the rooms were clean. Service was impeccable. Dishes are included. It was the perfect stay. Highly recommend this location.”

“I was visiting a friend at Fort Jackson and found this place and saw that it had good reviews, and it lived up to its rating. The staff was very helpful and the room was very clean and spacious. The elevator was definitely a life saver as I was on a higher floor, it was also very well lit at night.

Rooms: The rooms were very large and clean.

Safety: The parking lot and exterior of the building was well lit.”

“Rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet. Lots of places to eat and some shops nearby all within walking distance. In downtown district area so some loitering here and there and no parking. You pay daily for parking in nearby structure.”

“The room was good. A couple vending machines were out of order and the location turned out to be a little inconvenient. However, overall it was a good experience.”

“The staff were friendly and helpful. We were there for a family memorial service and everything was perfect.

Rooms: Large rooms. Great kitchen.Comfortable bed.”

“Pillows and bed were super comfortable. Nice older building that reminds me of being at grandma's house. Cozy and unique. Can take elevator to Starbucks, don't even have to leave the building. Only downside is the club level lounge, it is super tiny and lacks amenities I am used to. Just booked this hotel for a returning stay in November!”

“Amazing breakfast buffet. Our Basic Training Suite was impressive. All areas were clean and well-appointed. Professional & courteous staff. Beautiful property.”

“The Magnolia suite was nice. Check in was easy and hassle free. Great communication before check in. Nice and quaint. Only issues I had. No fridge in the room so could not keep my drink cold and perhaps some light snacks available in the common area.”

“I just checked in to Sleep In on Airport Road. West Columbia SC. I couldn't be more pleased with the front desk customer service! Dave was very courteous, professional and friendly! Made my check in very easy. I hope the owner knows just how fortunate and lucky they are to have such a wonderful employee! Definitely five stars for Dave! Thank you”

“The hotel itself is kinda off of a side road, you will likely need GPS to make sure you don't miss it. Overall it was a pleasant stay. It was quiet, comfortable, and we paid a little more for a 2 person jacuzzi tub which was absolutely worth it and worked great.”

“Great stay! The hotel room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Complimentary breakfast provided! I really enjoyed the breakfast. The gentleman who checked me out was kind and so were the two ladies when we checked in. Everyone was helpful.”

“Jalise Janet and Timothy were so kind and friendly. All in all great experience. Breakfast was always delicious and plenty of options. The place could defiantly use some updating you can tell it was build in the 90s but it is a very nice hotel. Was there on a business trip. We were in one of the conference rooms. The provided lunch was delicious both days. The cookies and brownies were warm and yummy. The happy hour with 2 free drinks were a nice end to each day. Easy to get around. The location is close to many great restaurants and activities. Worth the visit.”

“It was our 1st time staying here and we were happy. Charles at the front desk was AWESOME!! Our child had to be at football camp at USC at 7am and thats when breakfast started at the hotel. Charles made him a breakfast bag the night before so he could eat before training camp that morning. ( He made my sons morning). He also was very knowledgeable with the surrounding areas with restaurants and places to go, he had great recommendations!! Thank you Charles, you did AWESOME!!

Now for the other part, the rooms were nice and clean the entire facility was. The breakfast was great except for having to wait for fresh hot food to come out just for clarity (IT WAS NOT THE LADY COOKING IN THE KITCHENS FAULT) she was by herself ( which is fine) the issue was with a guest. When we came down the guest literally had 6 PLATES full of food a full plate of like 20 sausages, full plate of EGGS, a bowl of 4 cinnamon rolls ( you get the point) there were alot of other people there waiting to eat. This guest literally was watching as every time the lady in the kitchen replenished the food she went to get even more plates. She literally did this 5 times this morning and people had to wait. My husband was like I've never seen a woman or anyone eat that much for breakfast not even a man.

I felt horrible for this lady in the kitchen, the guest didn't care about anyone else but herself and I'm sure it's all you can eat but good lord be respectful of others as they pay money to stay there as well.

As we went back to our room to get our things when we came back down to check out, breakfast was over, it was about 10:15 I think and the lady that was in the kitchen was sitting there taking a much needed break. I walked over to her and said I know your tired but just know you did AWESOME being 1 person and handling all that extra cooking by yourself since someone was being extremely selfish and rude. She said thank you. I told her she handled herself with grace and I said THANK VERY MUCH and have a good day. She said thank you.

As we were walking to the car my son's girlfriend said when you walked away she started crying. I said what? She said I think it was tears of tiredness and joy. She was by herself and chances of someone saying Thank you may not happen often and a nice gesture you showed her, she may have appreciated more then we would think

So to the lady who was by herself and handling everything in the kitchen this morning, just know you did a WONDERFUL JOB!!!!

We would stay here again!!!”

“Great location, excellent hot and cold breakfast items, rooms could use some updates, especially the bathroom which is showing the use of many visitors.

Walkability: Many restaurants within walking distance.”

“Ahmauray was very sweet,nice, and had great customer service. She was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend & book again due to my stay. 5/5”

“My husband and I were driving back home and decided that Columbia would be our halfway point. I was very surprised with how clean and fresh the hotel was. The front staff, Byron, was very accommodating and kind. He had a great energy that kept us positive throughout our stay.Great location, clean room, and helpful staff!”

“Very clean and friendly hotel to stay at. It is in an easy to access location. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They are renovating and are sure to be even better once they are finished.”

“Overall, this is a great property! I am truly enjoying my stay here. The rooms are clean and well-kept, with upgraded cabinets in the kitchen. The service is fast, helpful, and always available. The location is unbeatable; there are numerous restaurants and shopping options within a mile, so you only have to decide what you want to eat, and it’s right at your fingertips.

The best part is the friendly staff. Maintenance addresses issues immediately and prioritizes them. The entire team, including the general manager, front desk, maintenance, and housekeeping staff, is incredibly friendly.

The grounds of the property are also very nice for a walk, with benches to sit on and enjoy the sunset or sunrise. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy some outdoor time. I have genuinely enjoyed my stay here, and I look forward to coming back again!

Safety: I felt safe and slept like a baby.”

“This is an older place currently being updated so there are some rough edges. But the owner is very friendly and seems to have good plans for the place. My room was very clean. I walked barefoot on the hard-surfaced floors and my feet stayed clean. (You never can tell how clean carpeting is. I wish all motels had hard floors.) The WiFi was password protected and secure (unlike many motels) and was fast enough that I watched videos without a hiccup. I had a large bathroom with a large walkin-shower. I had hot water within one second of turning it on. The neighborhood is quiet with a complex of medical buildings behind.”

“My wife and I were in Columbia for our grandson’s graduation from boot camp at Ft. Jackson. We stayed three nights. We had a two queen room with accessible roll in shower. This accessible room was quite spacious, plenty of room for my wife to maneuver her power wheelchair. We are fans of the Hampton brand, have stayed with Hampton all over the country. We appreciate Hampton’s consistent clean and comfortable rooms, with a great breakfast included. This location was great. The front desk staff were always helpful and smiling, as were our housekeeping crew. The breakfast area was kept clean and nice. The location is very convenient to I 77, and close to Ft. Jackson and Columbia itself. Many restaurants close by, as is gas, convenience stores, and banking. We would stay again!”

“Service gets 5 stars because is the reason I keep coming back to this hotel in the Vista area. Quay and Deshaun always provide you the best service during my stay. Quay is a rock star and definitely has a future in hotel management. I look forward to my next stay and hoping these two ladies are working the front desk.The rooms get 3 stars because I don’t they do a good job cleaning the rooms and even had sheets on my bed that wasn’t wash. Thanks to Quay she made sure I got cleaned sheets. The location is right next to a Publix and walking distance to restaurants the reason 4 stars.”
