It had roaches. No breakfast. The owner looked in the room while were in there. One time the owner knocked on the door and my daughter opened it. The owner just walked in rather than standing at door. House keeping was perfect but the manager well something needs to be done about her. Will not stay again.

The night manager is a joke. Got me and my husband banned over her allowing a guy to sleep in histruck in the parking lot. Not to mentionand hr before she called the cops on me for no reason other than she was salty bc she called the cops on him for being weird and driving around the parking lot. Then u let him sleep there for real. I wouldve had to rent a room like anyone else which in fact idid for 2 nights. Worst experience of my life. Not to mentionall the rooms are falling apart there was literally some white residue of some sort onthe nightstand and dresser when we checked in.

It was not worth the money, TV is horrible, and the poor manager has no idea how to treat people and thus will NEVER grow her business. I wont be back and will be back in that area for business next week... lol

Its a cheap price hotel, and thats what your gana get. Not the cleanest but a place to sleep better than my truck. Some safety concerns plug outlet behind bed is a fire hazard (no cover on it,and outlet wires exposed found it when replacing the bed head board back on it fell off while moving the pillows around, and glad i didnt get hurt had to have employee help to place it back up because it was so heavy. Employees were nice.

Upon arrival, i reserved a king and received 2 fulls. When turning in light roaches were everywhere. We returned to the desk to find no other rooms available. In return, we left and made the 3 hour drive home at 2am.

The only endearing quality is I that I was able to have my dog with me, but there was no mention of an additional fee. When I checked in the first room they gave me was occupied when I walked in which was kind of disturbing. Imagine walking into what you think is an empty room with the TV on, bed covers missing, and soda cans everywhere. The room they gave me was tidy, but bugs kept coming in under the door that my dog chased around. Last, I've never been in a hotel/motel with no bathroom doors to the shower or toilet, at all in any room. (I asked). For $80 there are other options that I will take next time that accommodate pets for free. The photo looked like a cheap hotel and I've been in plenty traveling. But this was a unique experience that I won't be doing again.

This was survivable for one night, but wasn't entirely clean- bathroom was clean and sheets seemed clean, but floors were sticky (looked like something spilt and not cleaned), comforter was dirty and there was a slip of paper from a previous guest with the wi-fi password in the room, so we know they didn't clean off any dressers. The bed was comfortable and shower worked fine. The area is a bit sketchy- only one gas station, a Mexican restaurant and this hotel were on this exit. Outside was very dingy and dirty. I would have felt safer with my husband, but it was only my daughter and myself on this trip so we were nervous- ended up putting the chair in front of the door to sleep. Also, the air conditioner had a note on it that you couldn't turn it on high or it would cut off. We had it set on low, but at about 4 am it started cutting on and off over and over again and was very loud, so made it difficult to sleep. Also, walkways were well lit (which I was thankful for), but it did cause a bright light to shine around the curtain all night (curtain was closed) so that made it hard to sleep too.

The heater was so loud every time it kicked on it woke me up. Could have used more pillows. But other than that it was fine.

The first key card I was given to a room on the 2nd floor, after schlepping all my stuff up there, did not work. The next shift person took pity on me and put me in a room on the first floor with a key card that worked. The room was renovated and well-appointed, but the bedspread had cigarette burns and the only blanket had stains on it. The bathroom seemed clean, but there was a used large bar of soap left from a previous person! The headboard and dresser hadn’t been dusted in a while. The refrigerator was making weird irregular sounds all night long. The smoke detector went off TWICE during the night! I was told that someone was probably smoking outside my door or next door. Oy! Needless to say, I got very little sleep and I will be seeking a refund. And lastly, I was unable to turn off the TV upon leaving the room because the remote was no longer working. )-:

I had to stay a few nights and it was closest to the place I was visiting. First of all, I know that it's a cheap one, but I didn't have many options, but being cheap does not have to mean being dirty. I also experienced a power outage for which no one checked in with the guests who had to stay there and let us know anything. They wouldn't come and bring extra towels or do any cleaning! Their refrigerator was not even cold. If I could give it a worse review than half of a star, I would. Terrible.

If you are looking for a good restful sleep, this is not the place. It was definitely not worth the money I paid to stay here. There were noisy guests all night long. I was rattled out of bed several times through the night, between the tap dancers upstairs, the moron in the parking lot that could not figure out how to turn her alarm off on her car, somebody out there working on their vehicle pounding and pounding, you get the idea. The room was clean enough, the bed was comfortable. Too bad that I could not enjoy my sleep due to all the noise. If you are looking for a restful night's sleep with quiet, I strongly recommend you go elsewhere. I'm still here, and now it's too late to go back to sleep now that all the noise is gone. Looks like I'll be sleeping in my vehicle for a bit, at some point today on the road. The lady at check-in was very nice and helpful. If it weren't for the noisy guests, this place would have been a total winner. I will never stay here again.

I liked how quiet it was to rest. What I didn’t like is they had a home refrigerator in the room. Faulty plug ins and not enough plug ins. The desk lamp didn’t work. Not enough soap shampoo. The housekeeper was very rude after I said I woke up late and was checking out, he says well you will have to pay. I had to yell I’m checking out louder. Didn’t know the wi-fi there. No phones in the room to call for a wake up call or number.

This hotel surely needs a renovation, but for our couple times a year, its price can't be beat. The carpet in the room really needs replacing, but the staff is kind and helpful and the room was clean. The AC didn't work as well as it should, but, again, for the price, it is fine.

This hotel isn’t as bad as people say. For a game night in Clemson at this price, you can’t beat it. There’s nothing luxury about it, but checkin was painless and I was in the room a total of 6 hours to sleep. Great Mexican restaurant within walking distance too.

At first they were fine. Then when i got complaining about the no free wifi the refrigerator i had to turn up from a broken button in back of it (how i first found the roaches), the cockroaches and much later the two bed bugs i found one on my pillow and one on my towel blanket (after the roaches i wasnt climbing in the bed. (Own chair too). I captured both bed bugs in a small empty 7oz beer bottle. At this time i was wild upset. 3am ish nowhere to go. I repacked my car. Slept in my car from 530 -830am. Finished packing toiletries and watched television until. 1030 ish. I was in 117 the people in 118 had just complained 9-930 ish. I complained and they were very hostile. Refused to refund my room and said i was the only one that complained. Said i was making the bed bugs up just to get a refund. I have them in 2 empty beer bottles. Said i should've called them for a different room. 3am! Next room likely would be equal condition and i was tired no thanks. They are going to rent that room again. I cant believe it! No return no im sorry and worst of all they will rent that room today if they can. Mexican restaurant very close and a diner and store close enough to walk also. I would only have let them know about the wifi fridge and roaches, the bed bugs were the last straw. I became homeless 3 days ago now so i was mostly just happy to have a bed shower and some ac for $61.04 start work on monday. Hope the next place is at least run better.

This place was the worst hotel I’ve ever been to, and I’ve done quite a bit of traveling. Upon arrival we were given a room that was still dirty from the last guests, then given a room where the key wouldn’t work and I had to argue with the front desk to get them to come unlock the room. No hot water, only 1 bulb in the 4 lamps provided, AC/heat was broken, and the door was not sealed so the cold air leaked in all night and I felt like I was going to freeze to death. Stay away if you can, I only stayed for a sporting event but the cheap price is not worth the stay.
