Lizards Thicket is a down home Southern-style restaurant only about 3 blocks away. Good food at bargain prices. (It's a chain, but doesn't feel like one).

Clean, comfortable, and satisfying

The room and its equipment were clean and comfortable; it was quiet in the room; the breakfast setup was comprehensive and easy to access... We have had good results at each of the three Country Inn & Suites which we have stayed at... And, we expect to return to this one next month.

WONDERFUL...WOULD STAY AGAIN!!!

We have never stayed at a Country Inn & Suite before, but we certainly will in the future. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was large and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast had a very nice assortment of breakfast foods. The cleaning staff went the extra mile in organizing our bathroom and keeping our supplies stocked.

A great experience!

The hotel was very clean and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location and very easy to find. I would definitely stay there again! Also, they have a fantastic breakfast that is included with the stay, not to mention coffee and cookies as well.

Great stay, but a little noisy

Stay here for 3 nights Oct 19th thru the 21st during Graduation activities at Fort Jackson. Congratulations and thank-you to the 850 fine young men and women who made thru the training to defend our liberty and freedom. This is a really nice hotel, the staff was very helpful, the rooms were very well kept, and the free breakfast was great. Lots of good coffee and snacks in the lobby 24/7. Nice indoor swimming pool The only drawback to this hotel is that it is directly in the landing pattern for Columbia airport, it didn't bother us much as we were not there during the day, and the flights were less at night. Ask to stay on the 1st or second floor. Less noise from the aircraft! Would stay here again if in the area! Close to lots of resturants and shopping.

Traffic is heavy between 5:00 to 6:30 in the evening. Go early or wait till about 7:00 pm to go out. Good food, and shopping about 10-15 minutes from hotel.
