Sage is a ray of sunshine. We love how each room is just a little different. The building is beautiful! And every shower we have had has been divine. This is our stop every time we go from PA to SC for family visits. I’m just about to make another reservation…

Disliked: Amenities
Management approved a date change and then did not follow through with it, forcing me to pay the price of two nights having only stayed one. I alerted the hotel and expedia in a timely manner and was approved by both expedia and the hotel only to find out later the hotel had changed their minds. Highly disappointed. I feel taken advantage of and the hotel itself has lost the charm that made me adore it. I will not stay again.

Did not eat breakfast…room was entirely too small…charged twice as much as original rate when I booked in September. The price which I booked was not honored. When I protested I was told that I was being charged their normal rate but rates changed all the time. This was our first and last time to stay there!

We loved the historical feel, but the rooms themselves were dated and sparse. Coffee and water would have been nice in the lobby… we did not try the restaurant. The gym was in a separate building a short hike up hill, but a good warm-up. Having to sign out for a key was a little cumbersome, but the gym was adequate for a small hotel.
