It was economical. The room was clean and comfortable. The little interaction I had with the cleaning staff was very good. The front desk was average. The breakfast was average. The outdoor pool was not of use. It was closed. The water in the pool looked green. It would have been nice to sit on the pool deck and possibly get in the water, none of this was available.

Would not return

The reception area was decorated lovely and staff accommodating. The rooms are dated with rust on the fixtures and my room had damage to the ceiling. The bedding was clean. The grass in the front was not maintained and housed bugs that looked like giant roaches. One of which got in the room. In all fairness, I was told the city is known for these bugs. They even named the town after them. Additionally, the chairs in the breakfast area were worn and torn badly (all of them). This hotel serve its purpose for a quick 2 day trip and it was very close to my intended destination. I gave 3 stars because of the workers at the front desk who were accommodating. I personally would not stay here again.

Decent Hotel, Bed was comfortable but room is outdated, and doesn’t have enough lighting. My family enjoyed the deep pool. If you are terrified of cats like my wife, this is not the place to stay. It seems as if it’s their hotel, just seem to comfortable.

I saw a lot of bad reviews about this place and i was so scared tbh. I am very anxious person and get scared about location and if its safe. This was very safe. The room was pretty clean and we had all of the utilities. One thing i would change is the front desk staff. They are a little mean. Check in was kind of weird. I saw a lot of bad stuff about the front desk and I didn’t expect anything much. But the check out was pretty fast and the man who checked us out was very nice. Anyway i would recommend it. Ee saw no roaches in our room. Thank you!

Do not stay here unless it's your only option. Front desk (woman) had an attitude. Lady, get a grip - there was no reason to be that rude. Toilet was broken in the morning somehow?? Had to call and have someone come and fix it. He turned a few screws and it worked again- so it's just horribly managed. Very unsafe part of town near where I used to live for years, but had no clue it gotten that bad.

I never write reviews but I have to this time if for no other reason to warn others under no circumstance to stay here. First off when you pull in there are several stray cats all over the parking lot, with fly infested dishes everywhere so there’s clearly no attempt to get rid of them. Next we could not even get into the room without repeatedly kicking the door to get it open. When we finally we able to into the room it was full of flys every where. When we went to the pool there were no towels so we asked the lady at the front desk and she informed us there weren’t any. The entire hotel didn’t have a single extra towel?! The pool area itself was filthy and the pool was covered in leaves. In addition the room I booked was a “pool view room”. The rooms view was completely obscured by huge overgrown bushes, along with every other similar room. When we returned to the room we again tried for 5-10 minutes to simply try to gain entry to our room without success so we went to the front desk to see if she could send someone to assist. Go figure, there wasn’t. After finally physically kicking the door repeatedly to open it the room was full of even more flys and now several centipedes crawling around as well. Also there are so many lights and traffic on the main road it takes 45 to get to/from Charleston. I implore you you to not make the same mistake we did. DO NOT give them your business
