Quick Trip
The staff was professional and efficient. The room was comfortable. There was a tissue stuck in the peep hole, the ice bucket was dirt, the seal on the bottom of the door was coming off, and the toilet leaked. The hotel it's self was quiet. The location is good but getting in and out can be tough.

Vehicle stolen; STAY AWAY FROM HERE
The associate was friendly. Truck was stolen and we couldn’t get any help from the hotel to get footage or video. Asked for corporate number or an email to speak with the owner and was told they don’t have a number or email for the owner and that we would have to wait until the owner comes in later that day around 10. Hours passed and I had my sister to call and check to see if owner was in and they said owner won’t be in until Monday. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL BECAUSE IF YOUR VEHICLE GET STOLEN, THEY GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND. Police was called

Tubs and floor was super dirty. The beds slept great but the overall cleanliness of the room was not worth the $134 a night.

A bit Run Down
My stay was OK. The hotel is somewhat rundown and more like a Motel with the "hallway" to your room is outside. Traffic noise is loud. Room and bed were generally comfortable and clean but run down and worn out, outdated and rather spartan. Food in the morning was good and the area was tended to well and was clean. The stay was a value proposition as my I was moving my daughter back from USC for the summer and surrounding properties were nearly twice the price for graduation weekend.

This hotel, while conveniently located near Fort Jackson base, is very outdated, very noisy, crowded parking lot, and not a very nice looking area.

Room was disgusting. There was something splashed all over the walls everywhere. The bathroom mirror was so dirty you couldn’t even see in it. The floors were sticky. The entire place smelled like marijuana. There was trash abd debris all through the walk areas. Did not feel safe at all in that area
