The Spotlight on Quality Inn Columbia Airport

Affordable Comfort Close to Columbia’s Music Scene

Modern convenience meets Southern hospitality at the Quality Inn Columbia Airport in West Columbia. Just a short drive from downtown Columbia and its buzzing music venues, this 2-star hotel offers a laid-back, value-friendly atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor pools—perfect for unwinding after a big night out.
With free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and multilingual staff, it’s a smart base whether you're here for a weekend of concerts or just passing through.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s free shuttle service to Columbia Metropolitan Airport (just 3.1 miles away), which means you can skip the Uber after a late show. Its proximity to downtown venues—like the South Carolina State Museum, EdVenture, and Columbia Museum of Art (all under 5 miles away)—makes it easy to get to your favorite acts without a long commute. The 12:00 PM check-out is ideal for sleeping in after a late night, and the quieter suburban setting means you’ll actually get some rest.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a show and splitting costs
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who want peace and quiet post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on merch than a room

Food and Drink Options

There’s an on-site restaurant and bar, perfect for grabbing a bite before or after the show. Room service is available, and since you're close to downtown Columbia, there are plenty of late-night dining spots just a short drive away. Breakfast is available and hits the spot after a long night out.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music at the hotel itself, the on-site bar offers a relaxed spot to start (or end) your night. You're also a quick ride from Columbia’s nightlife scene, with bars, lounges, and music joints that stay open late.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly, helpful staff and the convenience of the shuttle. Many mention the clean rooms and the comfort of having both indoor and outdoor pools. Reviewers also highlight that it's a solid deal for the price, especially given the location.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit dated in spots and could use some touch-ups. Others mention that while the area is safe, it’s best to have a car for getting around easily. Still, most agree it’s a great value for concert-goers.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show in Columbia and want a budget-friendly, quiet place to recharge, Quality Inn Columbia Airport hits the right notes.

David, Jacksonv Sun, 11 February 2024

Overall was satisfied with stay. Clean and comfortable room. A/C unit was loud all night. Functioned well, just loud. Wasn’t made aware until checking in that I was required to provide a $100.00 cash refundable deposit. Wasn’t informed of when and location of breakfast until just before checking out when in lobby to get coffee for on the road. Location was excellent for us. Walking distance to a Waffle House and just across road from a Hardee’s plus close to several other outlet stores. Overall everything was excellent just a couple of minor inconveniences. Would stay again and refer to others.

Liked: Clean and comfortable room.
Disliked: Disappointed that was required to give $100.00 cash deposit at check in; with no notice at time of reservation. Air conditioner was loud all night. Wasn't made aware of breakfast time and location until shortly before checking out.

Liked: I have pictures of a roach on the bathroom countertop. There was a blood like stain on the bed sheet. I was told my incidental deposit would take up to 10 days to be refunded. Thats too long.

Uncleanness

Liked: The location was great for shopping.
Disliked: Our room was not very clean. I had to ask for our comforters to be washed because there was make up and crusty stuff on them. I was there for 3 nights. Each morning I would see the doors wide open to the rooms they were cleaning and all comforters were set on the chair and reused. They did change the sheets. Not sure about pillow cases. There was dust on the pipes under the sink in the bathroom. Bathroom door didn't open all the way because of the shower curtain. And when we moved the bed closer to the wall for my girls, there was sticky stuff like spilled soda all over. I will say we were in room 219. The smell of weed was every where. We had to block the door with a blanket. The breakfast was limited. 3 bagels. 3 pieces of toast. I was down there on a Saturday at 7am. There looked to be repairs being done to the sewage system and thats all you can smell. You do get what you pay for. Made a mistake and will never be back. And I will say, I was not born with a silver spoon. I have been to many low quality places. I'm just thankful there were no bed bugs.
