Terrible service. If you book on Hotels.com, they will charge you an additional $15 for each kid staying with you even if you selected the correct number of people to the room online. Total sham and worst experience I've ever had with a motel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I came in town for the local university's homecoming and it was the only hotel available at the time when I booked. I was only in the hotel room a short amount of time, but the time I spent was surprisingly comfortable. The amenities were sufficient for what I needed which was a place to rest at night. It met my expectations for a motel, but served the purpose without issues. The only observation I would note is that the maid service only left new towels and emptied the trash, but for the short stay this was not that big of a deal. The same staff member was there when I arrived and when I left and was pleasant. I would not make this a first choice, but would stay again if required.

1-Upon arriving condoms were laying about in the parking lot. 2-The clerk couldn't find the reservation, then put us in a smoking room. 3-Lights in the room did not work, nor did the TV. 4-The breakfast consisted of food with past-due expiration dates. Yogurt was curdled and rancid, cereal was stale. When we left the room without eating the clerk said, "You shouldn't have stayed here."

Pleasant low cost place with real value
We came here for #ride2remembersc and needed close, inexpensive place. It may not look nice outside and a bit sketchy since surrounding places are chain and newer, but this has personal touch. Nice staff. Hubby mistakenly booked smoking room, I had emailed to see if can switch. Sam both called and emailed follow up to say it has been taken care of. The small statue and decor at entrance reveals personal touch. The front desk clerk that was being trained didn't know we had prepaid the room via Hotels.com so had kept insisting on payment but Sam treated both her and us kindly and took care of it. Rooms aren't fancy, but are clean (even better than some Franchise ones). Had fridge, free breakfast with real food that even hubby with several food allergies like dairy and gluten could eat. Understand why majority of their guests are repeat customers. We will be for future Ride2Remember rides too. Love the personal touches and friendly employees. Sam, I learned is the owner who had this built 20+years ago. It's his baby and the guests are friends of his baby.
