Hawthorn Extended Stay By Wyndham Columbia / Ft. Jackson

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was okay, the pool need some attention"

Quality Inn Fort Jackson

8/10 Good

"The necessary things to make your stay comfortable were provided. Wi-Fi, electricity, and hot water were all working well. The staff was quick to respond, parking was sufficient, and the room was clean. It was clear that a lot of effort had been put into maintaining the place, despite the exterior looking a little old. The outside could use a little cleaning as well, but overall, I enjoyed my stay without any issues."
