Great place to stay for Army BCT graduation

This worked out perfect for our family to meet up and stay to watch our family member graduate from BCT at fort jackson. They even had pretty good breakfast. It was really easy to get to gate 4 back and forth as well. We didn't have any problems. Would stay again if I'm ever back in the area.

The reason that I scored a 2 was due to the staff being friendly. My stay at the Fairfield Inn and Suites from 3/21/25 to 3/29/25 was not a good experience. First, on day one when I went into the room and went to take a shower the tub was dirty, the toilet was not clean, I had my own disinfected wipes and used them to use the bathroom. Second, I had to clean off the desk as it was extremely dusty and behind the desk was filthy with old soda bottles and garbage. Third, the next day of my stay I requested housekeeping and was told someone would come up to my room and no one ever did. I also saw someone from housekeeping on my floor and they advised they would stop by and never did. The following day, I again requested housekeeping, and no one ever came, and I again saw someone from housekeeping on my floor and they again advised they would stop by and no one ever did. I then stopped asking for housekeeping and the room was not cleaned for the entire week that I was there. I did work from my room Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm and I am assuming housekeeping does not work after 5pm. Also, the internet was not good and did not start to work semi properly until close to the end of my stay. In addition, the first day that I had breakfast was good, but it seems the same food is utilized for the week until it is finished because the bread/bagels started to smell sour. Finally, there seemed to be some type of construction going on.
