The lady at the front desk was very polite. I have breathing problems and on oxygen and she accommodated me close to the office on the bottom floor. Nice place to stay and right at the interstate.

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

Desperate for a hotel for Clemson parents weekend. All hotels in the area charge abusive prices for parents weekend. I brought my own pillow and pillow case and settled for this one.

This was the WORST place I have ever stayed and we felt very unsafe. The bath towels were stained. And to make it a complete nightmare, we discovered cockroaches crawling around in the morning. We want a FULL refund!

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.
