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.

I was going to give this hotel a solid 4 star overall rating. However I had to drop the overall rating to 1 star. Bed bugs im afraid bite marks on several in my family. not the worst case I have seen as my wife has traveled overseas extensively and had a super bad case of bed big bites before. My son who slept on the pull out couch had the worst of the 3 of us who have bite marks.

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.

The staff is nice, but rooms are terrible dirty one wall had a weird blood stain, another wall was opened to fix a pipe and never fixed back, the room smelled bad like urine,the shower had a nice size chip exposing metal rusting, shower head could not be adjusted,the water coming out was very murky,carpets were sticky, and the sofa bed was broken the rooms mini fridge was not working. Definitely not worth staying there the only convenience is that it is close to I-77. I would not recommend to stay at this property especially with your family.

Never will I book this hotel again! The hotel room was dirty upon arrival and the entire hotel smell horribly of marijuana. I had to ask for the shower curtain and towels as they were not provided in the room. I also had to buy air fresheners and cleaning products to make the room decent enough for my complete stay. Such a horrible experience with cleanliness and sanitation. The staff was polite and that was about the only good thing about it.

The staff: friendly, helpful, competent. The overall condition: decent despite the renovations. It really just looks like a lot of work is being done on a place in obvious need of repair - yes, things are broken or not always functioning properly. The room: nice cold AC, clean refrigerator, smelled like the room was regularly cleaned, comfortable bed, simple but plentiful supplies (ice, coffee, paper goods, etc.), water pressure low (making shower take longer than I wanted it to). The surroundings: quiet, a little ugly and uninteresting, a few restaurants, easy access to highway. I would definitely recommend this place as a convenient, safe, pleasant stop on a journey for a reasonable price.

What a mistake to stay here!! While we understand it is under construction, the rooms were very musty. No room service !! When we called the front desk, we were told we had to request it, needless to say the tiny supplies in the bathroom are a one day use for 2 adults. What a waste of money with poor customer service.

The staff doesn't know what's going on from one shift to the next. I had to fight to get the third night added back to my stay after they removed it without telling me. The tub in the room was dirty with soap scum. The bathrooms near the pools were clogged and dirty and when we told them about it they said they'd send someone, but no one came the whole time we were down at the pool over an hour. The third floor off the elevator felt like you entered a sauna and they were late with the breakfast start on our first morning. The eggs in a bag that were microwave heated were gummy and gross.

The location was misleading from the army base. I drove all night was tired from nyc to SC And ask the front desk if i could check in early at 12:15. I had a regular conversation no yelling and was grateful she said come back at 130. the last thing i ask her was will you be here at 130 or would she be at the desk. she said yes i then went and go sleep in my car to get woken up by SCPD as trespassing and my reservation has been revoke the young lady felt threatened that i ask would she be there. you can play back the videos and audio sending the cops on me and who knows how this could have been handled if the police officers was having a bad day. i went on the company reviews and it seems that establishment has more bad reviews than good. i had to book back 2 more hotels rooms at another location
