DO NOT stay here. We arrived 11pm after driving the entire day, had booked 2 rooms for a family of 7. Check-in was easy. Soon after we entered our 1st-floor rooms, my son came running from his room - he pulled back the sheets and found 2 spiders in the bed. We then checked our beds and there were also spiders, including a web behind one pillow against the headboard! Spiders were found nearly everywhere!! Skinny little things but still. We packed back up, complained, and were given 2 new rooms on the 2nd floor. [While we waited, a couple was also given a new room, no idea why. After we were serviced, the man behind us complained that there was no water.] We inspected carefully and didn't find spiders so we agreed to stay since it was so late. My son realized he didn't have water with him and went to the vending machine - he selected water and was given an expired Fanta - the office exchanged it for water. After we settled and were about to go to bed, my son texted a photo of a roach on the lamp beside his bed. At this point we were so exhausted and it was after midnight so I told him and all to check for bugs once more before going to bed, all food in fridge, etc. and we slept without known issue. In the morning we saw that the towel across the tub was heavily stained, and the towels on the rack were completely worn with holes. We decided to just leave and be done with this place. Bought our own breakfast. Check recent reviews not just the rating - lesson learned!

It takes a lot to annoy a USMC veteran
Where do I start? The first issue I had was check-in. I sat in the lobby for about 25 minutes before anybody came to the check-in desk. The first room I received was utterly unsanitary. It was filled with flies and it smelled like old cigarettes. I requested another Room, I was moved to a different level of the establishment. The new room was slightly better, but I noticed dead bugs on the walls. I was only in town for one night so I gave the room the old college try,before turning into Sleep I noticed a roach run across the adjacent bed! It was late, so I didn’t even change out of my clothes and I tried to go to sleep unfortunately, I wasn’t able to sleep comfortably and could not wait until daybreak to leave that establishment as fast as I could. and I will most definitely never stay at one of those accommodations ever again!
The bed with roaches
The hotel door had a gap of about 1/4inch from the floor allowing flies to get into the room
The microwave was a shelter for baby bugs
Roaches were coming from under the toilet in the morning

easy check in, but after requesting the 1st floor and receiving a 2nd floor,our 2 keys did not work went down and got anew one and again did not work. Called FD . My coffee pot did not work,my Refrigerator did not work and on the 2nd night the AC did not work. We did not get any attention until the 3rd night when I called and complained,there was no way I was staying in that room another night it was extremely hot. We got moved to the room next door Where the room was not extremely hot But cool.Considering we were returning home in the morning I didn’t want to bother with it,During my stay i was out mostly all day just returning to shower and sleep.the purpose of my visit to South Carolina was to visit my son who was graduating basic trading at Ft. Jackson. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.Ican not believe the audacity of the hotel owner who checked me out asking me for a great review… asking if I had my iPhone she can help me, I am not the one for confrontation so I just smiled, said ok… and walked out. The environment was horrible.I believe there are people actually living in some of the units where there was some of what I believed to be illegal activity … My family and I witnessed the Police Department along with the fire department banging down the door believing there was a squatter there… Guns out… and bullet proof vest … scary …. It was the worst hotel stay I have ever experienced… I don’t know who to complain to but I would really like a full refund…
