This was reasonably priced and all we needed for an overnight stay. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. To make this a 4 or 5 star would only take 2 investments. 1.) Exterior and interior doors need painting as paint was peeling off both doors. 2.) Better quality towels.

A motel not a hotel

The property has mostly entrances that are outside. The rug in my room was dirty and the room smelled musty.

Worst stay ever.

First day house keeping walks into the room after I declined housekeeping since it was the first day I was there. House keeping yelled at me for declined the service. Now I only stayed for about 8 days and I had to go to the front desk 5 times for new room keys. There’s almost never anyone at the front desk. You CAN NOT take breakfast to your room (Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches/cereal) I asked for extra towels twice only for house keeping to have NONE the entire 8 days no clean towels. Only had 3 lights and the room was dark unless the windows were open. I only stayed here because everything else was booked. Will never stay here again.

The staff were friendly, polite, and helpful. Breakfast was limited to yogurt and a few cold sandwiches (microwave available) coffee was decent and dining area was nice. The property was well-landscaped, outside area generally very nice plenty of parking space. Entrance and lobby well-kept. Our sheets were clean, mattress was bedbug-free and the beds were very comfortable and soft. This was one of six LGBTQ-welcoming lodgings we could find in the area, which was the main reason we chose it. We needed help getting into our room, the card reading lock was in disrepair and opening it every time took several minutes. The deadbolt did not close. Blackout curtains were very effective but covered in stains. The floor lamp didn't work and bedside table lamp was missing a lightbulb. There was some sort of ongoing beeping outside the entirety of our stay that sounded like it might have been an anti-homeless deterrent that we could hear all night over the air conditioner. We would stay again if we found ourselves in Columbia needing lodging, as prices were more than reasonable and none of the issues we had were serious enough to need a room change. The fact that the staff were kind to a lesbian couple with one trans partner carries a lot of weight for us, especially in times like these. If you are LGBTQ, in need of affordable lodgings, and can look over a few relatively inconsequential maintenance issues, the Airport Clarion is worth your consideration.

The guy at the desk was lazy and rude. He got mad because I called to check on my room. When I got there, he was watching TV or something and it took a minute for him to come to the desk, the room was gross, dirty towels, torn up chair, blanket with holes in it, & it smelled like cigarette smoke! e, The air conditioner did not work properly.
