The Spotlight on Rodeway Inn & Suites Fort Jackson

Affordable Comfort Close to Columbia’s Music Scene

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly comfort at Rodeway Inn & Suites Fort Jackson, a no-frills 2-star hotel located just minutes from downtown Columbia. Set a short drive from major attractions like the Colonial Life Arena and Columbia Museum of Art, this hotel offers a laid-back place to rest after a night of live music.

With free WiFi, 24-hour front desk service, and a location only 12 miles from Columbia Metropolitan Airport, it’s a solid base for music fans looking to stay close to the action without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Set just under 4 miles from the Colonial Life Arena and other top Columbia venues, the hotel’s location makes it easy to catch your favorite artists without a long trek back afterwards. Late check-in from 4:00 PM means you can arrive after work, and check-out at 11:00 AM gives you time to sleep in. While it’s not in the heart of the nightlife district, it’s close enough to ride-share without hassle, and the area stays relatively quiet for a restful night after the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget base before the big show
• Solo travelers ticking off bucket-list concerts
• Couples making a weekend out of a big event
• Fans who want a quiet room after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to spend on tickets, not lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is close to casual diners and fast-food options that stay open late. With Columbia’s food scene just a few miles away, you won’t go hungry post-concert. Breakfast options are limited, so plan ahead if you’re not an early riser.

Nightlife Options

If you’re up for a post-show drink, downtown Columbia’s bars and lounges are a short drive away. The hotel itself is more laid-back, perfect for those who prefer to wind down rather than turn up. No in-house live music or bar, but plenty of spots within reach.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the affordable rates and friendly staff. Many note that the location is convenient for concerts and events at the arena. Rooms are described as clean and simple — exactly what you need for a quick stay after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

The interiors are a bit dated, and some guests mention that amenities are basic. Don’t expect luxury, but do expect value. A car or ride-share is recommended, as it’s not in the walkable downtown core.

The Bottom Line

Rodeway Inn & Suites Fort Jackson is a practical, wallet-friendly choice for concert-goers who want proximity to Columbia’s venues without the downtown price tag.

the property was cool, but...

Disliked: the property was cool, but very poor services. We did a 13hr drive ended having to wait for an hour because the lady was trying to charge us again after i showed her my receipt for the booking i already paid for. Room smelled, i actually would like my money back because i’ve booked with you guys before but this is by far the worst.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Great people but the room...

Liked: The guy behind the counter was really nice and friendly
Disliked: The bath tub had something sticky around the drain. I saw a water bug crawl across the bed sheets and then saw another water bug in the bathroom. The beds were so hard and had a hump in the middle of them. It was so hard it made my lower back hurt like I had a kidney infection or something. The floors were sticky.

It was convenient BUT overpriced

Liked: Felt uncomfortable, people hanging outside playing loud music. Had to sleep with lights on and protection by my side. Also I was greeted by roaches in the restroom quite frequently.

Passable

Liked: The lobby was not clean. There was a mattress in it. The location was difficult to find.That being said, the room was clean. There was no mold in the bathroom. The bedspread was dated.
