The Spotlight on Masters Inn I-26

Affordable Convenience Just Off I-26

Modern comfort meets budget-friendly value at Masters Inn I-26, a no-frills motel located just a short drive from downtown Columbia. Situated right off Interstate 26 in Cayce, SC, this simple yet convenient stay offers quick access to top music venues, the Columbia Metropolitan Airport, and local attractions like Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. With essential amenities like free Wi-Fi, parking, and an outdoor pool, this is a smart choice for concert-goers who want to save on accommodations without sacrificing location.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Colonial Life Arena and Williams-Brice Stadium both around 10 minutes away by car, getting to your show is fast and easy. The hotel’s location off I-26 makes it ideal for those driving in, and the free parking is a serious plus. After a late night out, you'll appreciate the quiet setting and 24-hour front desk. While it's not a luxury stay, it hits the sweet spot for travelers who just need a clean, comfortable place to crash post-concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-cost place to rest after a big night out
  • Solo travelers chasing their favorite artists
  • Couples enjoying an affordable weekend getaway
  • Fans seeking peace and quiet after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prioritize location and value

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is just a quick drive to plenty of nearby fast food spots and diners, some open late for post-show bites. Each room includes a microwave and fridge, so you can stash snacks or heat up leftovers. Breakfast isn’t served here, so plan to grab something nearby or sleep in and brunch in Columbia.

Nightlife Options

You’re only minutes from downtown Columbia’s vibrant bar scene—explore local pubs, craft beer lounges, or catch another set of live music. The hotel itself is quiet and doesn’t feature a bar, which is great if you’re looking to wind down after a high-energy show.

What People Say

Guests often praise the low rates, helpful staff, and convenient location. Many mention that it’s ideal for a quick stay before or after an event. While it’s not fancy, reviewers consistently note that it’s a clean and reliable option when you just need the basics done right.

Areas for Improvement

This motel is more about function than flair. You won’t find luxury amenities here, and some rooms show signs of age. There’s no breakfast service, and the surrounding area is more suburban than scenic—but for the price, most guests feel it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

Masters Inn I-26 is a smart pick for concert-goers who want a budget-friendly, easy-access place to stay near Columbia’s biggest music venues.

Good as any motel in...

Liked: The price and the "pay by hour for late checkout" policy I saw at the desk. Wonderful policy for late night arrivals. Pretty standard economy hotel at a good price you're not going to get better for two figures a night. Quiet for what it is
Disliked: No complaints. It's not the Hilton but turning it into such would necessitate raising the price
