The staff were polite and courteous. The bathroom was dirty and had lots of stains. The toilet was not flushing. Only one large towel provided, The room was dusty. Not coffee at 9.am. The hotel location was falsely advertised as being by Ft Jackson main gate, it is not. Its about 10 miles from the post. The hotel is not worth the $189 i paid for a nights stay.

So gross

This place is soooo gross. Our room didn’t have a comforter, shower curtain, coffee maker, dirty non-swept floors, flickering light in bathroom, overall disgusting. We were put in a different room that wasn’t much better. For the price go somewhere else!!!
