The staff were polite and courteous.
The bathroom was dirty and had lots of stains. The toilet was not flushing. Only one large towel provided,
The room was dusty.
Not coffee at 9.am.
The hotel location was falsely advertised as being by Ft Jackson main gate, it is not. Its about 10 miles from the post.
The hotel is not worth the $189 i paid for a nights stay.

A/c unit water was coming out, no extra towels, I asked to clean the room floors I did move everything out of the way so it would be easy cleaning but didn’t resolved
The refrigerator was in the dirty bathtub, there were no bath towels, the foldout couch was uncomfortable and the room smelled like cigarette smoke. Would not recommend this hotel.

went to stay for three days and the staff was very kind and friendly. however the upkeep of the property was terrible i walked into my room and found stains on the sheets and someone took a. number THREE and left it in the toilet. we were given a new cleaner room but overall the hotel was como se dice…. mid
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.
