When I stayed, it was under renovation, so the facility was not in excellent condition. Maybe the facility will improve after the renovation. The excellent staff made up for it though. They were very friendly and accommodating. I will give this a shot again though. Hopefully it will be a different experience when the construction is completed.

Great service, clean room.

Customer service was great. The room was clean, but a little humid. I think the AC unit was alil to big, so it cooled the room fast but didnt condition the room, so it was left a little humid still. Otherwise good.

Overall a decent stay, especially for the price. The staff was not the most friendly during this visit. I asked for a late checkout and even after they gave me the okay, the next morning a staff member was literally pounding at my door telling me to leave. He was very short with me even when I agreed to pack up and leave.

OMG - Gross

This place is absolutely awful. Check-in was fine and then we entered the room. The room had an old musky odor and carpet was stained. When checking the room out, there were stains on both comforters, food, or what we thought was food, was plastered on the wall and mirror was not cleaned. We had an event to go to so we left. On the drive to our event, we decided that we are not staying in that hole and booked the Quality Inn in Anderson. We’ve stayed there before and knew it would suit our needs.

Room wasn't clean when we arrived, bathroom was dirty, bedsheets and cover were disgusting. We were given only one towel for 2 people staying 3 days. Front desk was unmanned a majority of the time. Phone was never answered, so we would have to search until we came across someone for anything needed. Would not recommend.

Vile, frightening and disgusting.

Staff fighting, torn carpets, load noises in the halls, half the lights out. This place has it all!! This includes junkies (and maybe prostitutes I can't be sure) roaming the halls, plus drug deals in the parking lot. I am not kidding. If you still want to stay, enjoy the loaf of bread, half container of milk and Lil' Debbie snack cakes that are put out for you at the complimentary 'breakfast'. But get there early before the Meth-Heads grab them all up. There is no pool. There aren't even towels. It is truly frightening and needs to be torn down. Shame on Hotels.com for allowing this to be booked on this site.

Save you money and book elsewhere.

Not sure where to start…. Got into town a little early but they wouldn’t let me check in 1/2 hr early….not a big deal Had to put my shoulder into room door to get it to open and it wouldn’t close on its own. The pool was closed for maintenance and the ice machine didn’t work. Went to make coffee the next morning and there was a moldy tea bag in coffee pot. Went to lobby to get coffee and it was cold out of the pot. Continental breakfast was toast, oatmeal cream pie’s or waffles but out of syrup. Only good thing I can say is that the bed was comfy and I slept like a dcrago@comcast.net.
