Ft.Jackson Basic graduation
The hotel was close to the base. The staff gave good directions to the base and they were very pleasant. I enjoyed my stay.

Better Than Expected!
I had read mixed reviews on this hotel & really second-guessed my choice, but was very much pleased with my choice when I arrived. Knowing that I couldn't have gotten any closer to my destination, the location was the best. This hotel looked newly updated & the staff were so helpful. Breakfast buffet had good choices, but the room was small. It would have been nice to have coffee in lobby, but that is my only suggestion for improvement! If you are going for Military Graduation, I give this 2 thumbs up! ARMY MOM

Nice and helpful people at the front desk. Cleanliness of the room leaves a lot to be desired.. Floor was not vacuumed during our 5 day stay. Bathrooms are in need of repair. Outdated.

Felt very safe
As a woman traveling with my 3 year old grandson I felt very safe there. The room was clean, breakfast was eatable and it was close to Main gate at Ft. Jackson. Which was why I was there. My sons graduation. The staff was friendly. The bathroom was not that great but more hot water then you needed it was so hot it would burn you. The mini fridge didnt get very cold. Those are my only complaints. They had computers that you could use and a printer so I was able to check in and print my boarding passes for my flight out. My grandson was able to play on one while I did my "work" on the other. I would stay there again. One downfall was you had to drive throught Shoneys parking lot to get to it.

LaQuinta for Basic Training Graduation
The staff was very helpful and encouraging as we stayed at LaQuinta Fort Jackson Main Gate. They gave us understandable directions and were very helpful whenever we asked for directions, even when headed back to the airport when a map site gave us hard to understand directions.

I would stay there again.
don't have any complaints. The free continental breakfast was plentiful, rooms comfortable, I would recommend it to people. It wasn't glamorous, but it served it's purpose for the value. I like that it is non-smoking, our bathroom door needed some work though. I think the shower curtains let water out and the bottom of the door must have warped somewhere along the way.

Don't eat at Showneys. It is very convenient but don't do it. Our waitress was awesome, but the food was too much like "chow" and the plates and bowls were not very clean. They were full of dirty dishwater.
