Room clean, powerfully clean in fact. Whatever they mop with takes a bit to get used too. You get 2 towels, 2 wash clothes, 2 bars of mini soap. I usually don’t care for short stays, I use what the hotel provides, but they don’t provide shampoo or lotion. No facial tissues either. It’s off the highway and parking right in front of your room. Area is sketchy. 1st night there the local strippers must have had a party room there. Woke up at 3am to shouting, slamming doors, music and more bs. Other nights were not as bad, but if you’re looking for quiet stay away. Refrigerator not plugged in on arrival, I get it, plug it in so it’s ready for my return and it’s not cold. Outlet was bad. Had to move it across the room. AC worked that was ok. Bed and linens comfortable, on day 2 I returned to find bathroom was cleaned and new set of towels and soap laid out. There are no do not disturb signs. If you’re on a budget, don’t fear your own safety this place for you. Staff very friendly but when you just run a place and let it slowly get ruined there’s nothing you can really do. Again if you’re just in for an night or two, then you get what you pay for. Oh and no coffee either. They sell water and soda for I think $1.

I booked this room because it was the closest to the hospital, what a mistake. For $80. it was terrible. Updated but in terrible condition. Smelled like insecticide. Mattress was ripped. Towel and a bar of hand soap was the only amenity. Worst hotel/motel I have ever been in. Would have turned around and walked out if I had not be so very tried. Staff at the hospital said "didn't you read the reviews"? Do not book!

Stayed here for a trip to go to a South Carolina football game. Not a good place to stay. Not clean. Not a good area to stay.

Requested non-smoking room and it reeked of cigarrette smoke. The bathroom door wouldn't close and the fridge didn't work.

My room was dirty. My sheets had cigarette holes and burns. My sheets and pillow cases were dirty looking.I woke up with Three bedbugs bite on my elbow. I then told management and they said we don't have bedbugs and walked off. No vinding machine. No restaurant within walking distance. Management walks straight in your room in the morning without knocking. And most of all the rooms is not worth asking price.
