Extended Stay America Select Suites- Columbia - Ft. Jackson

If you want an affordable no frills private studio apartment this place works. The staff were all so kind and honest. It was very very close to base. The fridge was new and spacious. Grocery stores are walking distance. Free internet worked great for my zoom calls. There are long stay elders in the facility and they were also inclusive. Avoid doing laundry on the weekends - get soap at the dollar store for the machines its close by. Purchase instant coffee because there is not coffee service or maker. (If there had been I'd have give then 11 stars). Clean lots of lighting options.

Whoever is in charge of upkeep and maintenance of the building, is definitely being negligent. Rooms and hallways/building have areas that are rough looking. Found hairs on sheets so there were a few housekeeping concerns. Staff is nice. They were the only positive during our trip there.

Positive: Experience cleanliness and space in room Negative: No hot water in shower or tub area

I stayed at this hotel only due to an emergency, and I want to be very clear: this place is an absolute disgrace and should not be allowed to operate. If I could, I would give it a negative 10 out of 10 — zero stars is too generous. I stayed here with my family, and I regret it deeply.

The smell was overpowering and nauseating, and the room was disgustingly dirty — floors, surfaces, and bedding were clearly neglected. The staff was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional, showing zero concern for guest safety. Housekeeping entered the room without permission while we were still inside, ignoring me when I t

The front desk staff is friendly. Marva was really helpful in showing the rooms. The location is ideal. The rooms are roach infested. We sprayed and cleaned the room upon checking in and had to constantly spray. If not for life situation we would not have stayed here and I will not recommend.
