TRASHY

The hotel is trashy. Turned the heat on and smoke alarm went off, water didnt get hot just luke warm, people running above our room all night, people with blunts in their mouth walking through the hotel lobby, groups of people behind the hotel randomly. Tv didnt work. Very noisy. Smells like straight weed.

The staff were polite and courteous. The bathroom was dirty and had lots of stains. The toilet was not flushing. Only one large towel provided, The room was dusty. Not coffee at 9.am. The hotel location was falsely advertised as being by Ft Jackson main gate, it is not. Its about 10 miles from the post. The hotel is not worth the $189 i paid for a nights stay.

Got to the hotel around 6pm. Walked into a dirty lobby with one guest waiting. She told me she had been waiting over 5 minutes. She was calling out trying to alert someone she was there. After 5 more minutes I called the hotel and told someone that there were guests waiting to check in. She came right away from somewhere upstairs and was very friendly and accommodating. There was a sign up saying the hotel was being renovated. I got in the elevator which was filthy dirty and noticed a paper hanging crooked asking for a 10 star rating which was so far off the mark. I then stepped out of the elevator into an equally dirty hallway. I opened my door and expected that at least the room would be unaffected by the renovation. Instead I found a carpet that clearly hadn’t been vacuumed in weeks, a bed with crumpled pillows and sheets that made me question if the bed had even been changed or just made after the last guest left. The kicker came at 9:45pm when I used the bathroom only to find the toilet didn’t flush. It almost overflowed onto the floor before it just stayed filled. Gross. If I hadn’t prepaid I would have left immediately. I won’t make that mistake again.

Property is hard to find because it's on a back road that isn't listed on gps. It needs updating. It was fairly clean, but the beds were extremely hard, and the common areas were very hot. Staff said the air conditioner was out.

Disappointing hotel stay

They were renovating the hotel which really needed it. But we were put in a room that was half competed. It looked pretty at first but it wasn’t cleaned properly from the last occupant. The new floors were already dirty looking. The toilet hadn’t changed to a new one and the tub was rusty around the edges.

This property shows a lack of management. The managers need to spend more time inspecting rooms. Our first night, in the bathroom the ceiling was cracked, moldy, and falling down; the fridge didn’t work, and leg was broken off; the smoke detector chirped every 10 seconds; the gap between the floor and door that led to another room was so big we could see peoples feet as the walked in their room. This hotel could be nice but in it’s current condition and with the lack of management care, I would not stay there again.
