Michelle at the front desk was a rock star! She was all about customer service. The beds were comfortable. Very convenient location if you are going to go to Fort Jackson.
There wew stains on the towels and bedding, the smell was weird, not like clean beding, there were stains in thw floor and walls, old and cheap paint, I would not come back
Got to the hotel around 6pm. Walked into a dirty lobby with one guest waiting. She told me she had been waiting over 5 minutes. She was calling out trying to alert someone she was there. After 5 more minutes I called the hotel and told someone that there were guests waiting to check in. She came right away from somewhere upstairs and was very friendly and accommodating. There was a sign up saying the hotel was being renovated. I got in the elevator which was filthy dirty and noticed a paper hanging crooked asking for a 10 star rating which was so far off the mark. I then stepped out of the elevator into an equally dirty hallway. I opened my door and expected that at least the room would be unaffected by the renovation. Instead I found a carpet that clearly hadn’t been vacuumed in weeks, a bed with crumpled pillows and sheets that made me question if the bed had even been changed or just made after the last guest left. The kicker came at 9:45pm when I used the bathroom only to find the toilet didn’t flush. It almost overflowed onto the floor before it just stayed filled. Gross. If I hadn’t prepaid I would have left immediately. I won’t make that mistake again.
Hall rug was filthy, floor separating in the room, tile work in bath terrible
Whoever did the remodel should be sued, lousy work. One door still had the upc label on the trim work.

Property is hard to find because it's on a back road that isn't listed on gps. It needs updating. It was fairly clean, but the beds were extremely hard, and the common areas were very hot. Staff said the air conditioner was out.

Disappointing hotel stay
They were renovating the hotel which really needed it. But we were put in a room that was half competed. It looked pretty at first but it wasn’t cleaned properly from the last occupant. The new floors were already dirty looking. The toilet hadn’t changed to a new one and the tub was rusty around the edges.
One of the bed platforms was broken but the staff moved us to a different room. The staff was friendly and the breakfast options were pretty good.

This property was nice and clean and also convenient. The breakfast was ok and there was no hot water for our last 2 days as i che ked out early for not having it as the hot water heater had broke. They did give me a refund for checking out early and partial for not having hot water.
This property shows a lack of management. The managers need to spend more time inspecting rooms. Our first night, in the bathroom the ceiling was cracked, moldy, and falling down; the fridge didn’t work, and leg was broken off; the smoke detector chirped every 10 seconds; the gap between the floor and door that led to another room was so big we could see peoples feet as the walked in their room. This hotel could be nice but in it’s current condition and with the lack of management care, I would not stay there again.
You absolutely get what you pay for. We paid $100 for two queen size beds. Bathroom was absolutely dated/unkept and dirty. Furniture in main area was dirty and surfaces were not properly cleaned.
This place is soooo gross. Our room didn’t have a comforter, shower curtain, coffee maker, dirty non-swept floors, flickering light in bathroom, overall disgusting. We were put in a different room that wasn’t much better. For the price go somewhere else!!!
The front desk ladies were very kind and friendly. The beds, and mirrors were the only things clean. The floors were very dirty and the carpet was ragged and frayed. The bathroom and entry floor hadn’t been swept or mopped. The sink counter had mold around the seams. There was no shower curtain. The tub had several hairs and dirty shoe prints. There were pieces of hardware missing. The walls and cabinets were splattered and dirty. The microwave was unsafe to use. It was broken inside. We were late to get to our military graduate and weren’t able to get anything else. I don’t think I’ve ever spend so much money on a hotel and the room be so dirty and unkept. The area around the hotel did not seem safe. There was noise all night. The breakfast was nice and clean.
