We need it to stay close to fort Jackson so this place was perfect it was very clean the only bad thing I noticed is that the door of the room didn’t lock quite right other than that everything else was ok
The hotel was not bad. Staff was nice. East check in. We had some questionable people staying on the floor under us. But we didn't have any problems from them. Area was nice. Stores and restaurants fairly close.
There was no breakfast and no one at the desk in the mornings
But the bathroom and bathtub was extremely dangerous. I’ve never been to a hotel where the bathtub was almost 3 feet from the floor you had to climb in. I slipped getting in and hurt myself getting out have black and blues all over my knee, and my husband almost fell in the bathtub as well when I try to complain in the morning no one was there at the reception . Very horrible and scary experience. I would like to send photos of my bruise.
We arrived to find a couple of other frustrated guests that had apparently been there for an hour calling the front desk, they left in frustration. Someone finally appeared while we were about to leave. The rooms were motel style open to the outside, and daylight was clearly visible around the door. The bathtub was dirty. We stayed to sleep one night and left early the next morning. The included breakfast I cannot comment on but it certainly did not look promising.
Door would not latch all the way , cold air blowing in. Bathroom needing remodeling , area , including room smelled like marijuana and old smoke. People knocking on outside door all throughout the night .

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff was nice, friendly, and prompt to handle issues. The hotel is old and could use more Many locals live at the hotel. The beds are hard. The rooms smell stuffy and smoky. The bed covers have holes in them. But the staff was nice and helpful.
Cancer our reservation at 4:00 p.m. did not give us time to get there we arrived at 6:30 to find out that they cancel our room at 4:00 p.m. and check-in was at 3:00 would not recommend it look very dumpy and very scary
This place is very outdated. I can't say it wasn't clean, but it was very much in disrepair. The walls are so thin. It sits in between two roads; therefore it is very noisy. The door did not even seal good. You could see daylight. the Desk person was nice enough. No breakfast. I thought it said breakfast, but I was so tired, I couldn't tell you now.

The staff was nice, friendly, and prompt to handle issues. The hotel is old and could use more updates. I was extremely upset upon arrival but my feelings changed after the second day. Many locals live at the hotel. The beds are hard. The rooms smell stuffy and smoky. The bed covers have holes in them. But the staff was nice and helpful.
