I don't have a lot to say about Western Inn & Suites<\/i>. It was a presence on Bush River Road near the I-26 interchange for years. Like the motel on the other side of Bush River near the same exit, it was a lesser known motel marquee, and probably pitched itself as a cheap stopover rather than a place to actually stay while in Columbia. That said, it did have a fairly nice looking (if very basic) pool, and its series of stairwells with circular cutouts are visually pleasing. The rooms seem to have been quite small (I did not inspect a \"Luxury Room\"), but I've definitely stayed in worse.<\/p>\n

The place has already been sold, and is up for re-zoning. I meant to get a closer look at the zoning sign to see what is being proposed, but in the event I totally forgot about it.<\/p>\n
