The Spotlight on Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Cayce I-26 Airport

Affordable Comfort Minutes from Columbia's Music Scene

Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Cayce I-26 Airport is a simple, budget-friendly hotel located just off I-26 in West Columbia. Set only 5 miles from downtown Columbia and top performance venues, it offers straightforward comfort with easy access to live music, nightlife, and the airport. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, a seasonal outdoor pool, and free WiFi, it’s a great base for travelers looking to enjoy the city without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is less than 15 minutes from major Columbia music venues like the Colonial Life Arena and the Township Auditorium — close enough for a quick rideshare back after a late show. The quiet Cayce location offers a peaceful night's sleep after the noise and lights of a big concert. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to rest and recharge. Plus, Columbia Metropolitan Airport is only 1.2 miles away, making it super convenient for out-of-town fans flying in for a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for budget-friendly rooms
Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist or band
Couples planning a low-key concert weekend
Fans who want to unwind away from downtown noise
Budget-conscious music lovers needing basic comfort and savings

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel serves a continental breakfast — ideal after a late night. A short drive puts you near plenty of casual dining spots, fast food, and local favorites in West Columbia. Room amenities like a coffee maker help early mornings feel a bit easier.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t offer nightlife or a bar, its close proximity to downtown Columbia means bars, lounges, and post-concert hangouts are just a short rideshare away. Whether you want a late-night bite or a final drink, you’ll find plenty within a 10-minute drive.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the value for money, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Many mention it’s a solid budget option for short stays, especially when attending events in Columbia. The proximity to the airport is also highlighted as a big plus for travelers.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a no-frills stay, so don’t expect luxury — some guests note that the decor is a bit dated and the area is more functional than flashy. If you're looking for upscale dining or nightlife on-site, you'll need to head into the city.

The Bottom Line

Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Cayce I-26 Airport is a smart pick for concert-goers who want an affordable, clean, and easy-to-reach place to crash after the show.

The worst on-the-road-stay in my...

Liked: Close to highway location. The lady serving breakfast was cleaning every spot. Parking spot right next to my door.
Disliked: 1. The accidentally booked smoking room wasn’t changed to nonsmoking, even if the hotel had available nonsmoking rooms. The smoking smell was so terrible, that it caused headache and cough. 2. For the leaking fridge in the room at the front desk I was given a couple of towels and sent back to clean the mess inside the fridge and out by myself.

I would not recommend this...

Liked: Cheap
Disliked: The room was non-smoking but the person next door smoked like a chimney. Our room smelled so badly like smoke I could hardly breathe. I had to wash everything in my suitcase. My husband, who has a terrible sense of smell, even he said it was bad.

I would stay again!

Liked: Very nice! They have renovated and it’s very nice. I like that there’s no carpet, just hard wood floors. I stayed three nights and they came every day and cleaned the room (spot less) and refreshed everything and gave me clean towels. I was very pleased with the hotel.
Disliked: Nothing
