You get what you pay for
Its a cheap price hotel, and thats what your gana get. Not the cleanest but a place to sleep better than my truck. Some safety concerns plug outlet behind bed is a fire hazard (no cover on it,and outlet wires exposed found it when replacing the bed head board back on it fell off while moving the pillows around, and glad i didnt get hurt had to have employee help to place it back up because it was so heavy. Employees were nice.

The lady at the front desk was very polite. I have breathing problems and on oxygen and she accommodated me close to the office on the bottom floor. Nice place to stay and right at the interstate.

The room had roaches, bed had crumbs under the covers, and cigarette butts on the floor. It was as if the room was never cleaned before i arrived.

Old and out dated but it worked for 1 night for my husband and son after going to the Clemson game. Has a strange smell and thin walls.

It had roaches. No breakfast. The owner looked in the room while were in there. One time the owner knocked on the door and my daughter opened it. The owner just walked in rather than standing at door. House keeping was perfect but the manager well something needs to be done about her. Will not stay again.

Desperate for a hotel for Clemson parents weekend. All hotels in the area charge abusive prices for parents weekend. I brought my own pillow and pillow case and settled for this one.

It was not worth the money, TV is horrible, and the poor manager has no idea how to treat people and thus will NEVER grow her business. I wont be back and will be back in that area for business next week... lol
