Not the best bang for the buck

The only benefit to booking here is its location to Fort Jackson if you are going down for BCT Graduation. Other than that, the staff barely spoke English and not friendly. The rooms were adequate, though very small. The door to our room did not close properly and lacked a security lock. All it had was the typical swing arm. You could also tell that the key cards had been reused instead of deprogrammed and reprogrammed as arrows were drawn on them and worn. Beds were very uncomfortable and pillows were extremely flat. Sits just feet from the roadway, noise was extreme.

Graduation from basics @ fort jackson

We was in columbia for my step sons graduation from fort jackson. It was nice to be so close to the fort and we also was in walking distance from several resturants and a kmart so we had all we needed near by. Only thing I was hoping for was a pool but I was ok without it too

Never again.....

I reserved a no smoking room[...] only to get there and be told they have no no smoking rooms. The room was filthy, had not been vacuumed. The heat worked, but I had to tolerate the noise in order to be warm that evening. Never again will I stay at this type of motel/hotel, I will in the future spend a little extra to get a better room.

Good Location, Good Price

was there for my daughter's graduation from basic. The motel was only 1 mile from Gate 1 into Fort Jackson. Was walking distance to eating and supermarket and Kmart. Small room but did not need a big one. Shower was fantastic-water pressure was great! would reccomend. Also quiet even though by busy roads.

"Not a happy camper"

I was visiting South Carolina, for the first time. Was there for the purpose of attending my daughter's graduation ceremony from bootcamp. The only positive thing I can say, is the motel was only a mile from the post, this was a definite plus. However, the rooms were really small, outdated, and I don't think the linen was clean either. I even encountered a large roach crawling on the wall. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep. The price was good, but I would've gladly paid more for nicer accomdations.
