Econo Lodge Fort Jackson

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Columbia’s Live Music Scene

Modern convenience meets wallet-friendly comfort at Econo Lodge Fort Jackson, a 2-star hotel located just over 4 miles from some of Columbia's most popular attractions and music venues. Whether you're catching a show at Colonial Life Arena or exploring the local arts scene, this hotel puts you within easy reach—without the downtown price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is a major perk—just a short drive from downtown Columbia's biggest concert venues. After the encore, you’ll appreciate the quiet surroundings for a good night's sleep. With check-in starting at 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s decent flexibility for travelers coming in for a show. Free WiFi makes it easy to upload your favorite concert clips, and the friendly 24-hour reception can offer local tips, including late-night dining or rideshare options.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a low-cost home base
• Solo travelers chasing a dream tour stop
• Couples planning a concert-themed weekend getaway
• Fans wanting quiet after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save for merch and tickets

Food and Drink Options

There’s an on-site restaurant and bar, perfect for grabbing a bite or a drink without going far. While there’s no 24/7 room service, staff can point you toward nearby late-night food spots. Breakfast is available, making mornings after a late show a little easier.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s just a short drive or rideshare to Columbia’s buzzing nightlife. Local bars and lounges are within easy reach, and the on-site bar is a convenient place to unwind with a nightcap.

What People Say

Guests praise the clean rooms, affordable rates, and friendly staff. Many say it’s a solid choice for a quick overnight after a show or event. Travelers also mention that the hotel offers good value for the location.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a budget stay, so don’t expect luxury extras. Some reviews mention that the décor is dated, and the amenities are basic. If you’re looking for upscale features, you might want to splurge elsewhere—but for a concert night crash pad, it fits the bill.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a simple, affordable, and conveniently located place to rest after the show, Econo Lodge Fort Jackson gets the job done.
