Days Inn by Wyndham Columbia

Budget-Friendly Comfort Just Minutes from Columbia's Music Scene

Modern essentials meet southern hospitality at the Days Inn by Wyndham Columbia, located just off Bush River Road. This straightforward, affordable hotel is less than 6 miles from Columbia’s top attractions and music venues, offering a convenient home base for concert-goers. With an outdoor pool, 24-hour front desk, and easy access to downtown, it’s a no-fuss option for travelers wanting to catch a show without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Fans love this location for its close proximity to venues like the Colonial Life Arena and Columbia Museum of Art—both under 6 miles away. It’s far enough from the downtown buzz to offer a quieter night’s sleep, but still close enough to be back in your room within 15 minutes of the final encore. The 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out times give you time to settle in before a show and sleep in a bit after. Free parking and easy access to major roads make late-night rideshares and driving a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly base before hitting a concert
• Solo travelers checking an artist off their bucket list
• Couples spending a low-key weekend around music and museums
• Fans who want a quiet place to crash after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t need frills to have fun

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is within walking or short driving distance to a variety of fast food and casual eateries. Several spots nearby stay open late, perfect for grabbing a bite post-show. Breakfast is available, ideal for slow starts after a late night. There's no 24/7 room service, but the front desk can help point you toward nearby options.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music or a bar on-site, but you're just a short drive from downtown Columbia’s vibrant nightlife. From chill lounges to local pubs, there are plenty of places to keep the night going after the main event. If you're looking for something low-key, nearby spots offer local brews and relaxed vibes.

What People Say

Guests often mention the hotel's affordable rates, friendly front desk staff, and easy access to downtown. Many reviewers appreciate the clean rooms and convenient location, especially for those in town to see a show or explore Columbia’s cultural attractions.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel’s décor is a bit dated, and a few rooms could use minor updates. While the immediate area is quiet, it’s not in the heart of downtown—so you’ll likely need a car or rideshare to reach the venues and nightlife. If you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t it—but it gets the job done.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking an affordable, no-frills stay near Columbia’s music venues, the Days Inn by Wyndham Columbia is a smart and simple choice.
