parking is a pay on an app system. Confusing at the least. Not charged until the end of 24hrs So you never get confirmation if you are paid or not. I was worried my car would be impounded

Very clean, people at the front desk are so nice and friendly. Breakfast is excellent. Parking is well lit and safe. Close to Uof SC where my daughter goes. Wish there is a pool though but over all is a 10. Would love to go back again.

Good except for sound

I enjoyed my stay both the staff at the front desk and the staff in the food area were very nice and courteous. Only concern I have is that you can hear all of the elements outside when you stay in the downtown location as well as the rooms on your floor, I heard a pet dog barking And like breeze blowing like air blowing through my door or wind.

The property has only been open for about 6 weeks, so it is squeaky clean. The woman at check in was very cheerful and told us how long she would be on duty if we needed anything the breakfast was impressive. Waffles, pancakes, eggs (real not powdered!), bacon and even a carnitas bar!

Clean, quiet and new. Water pressure excellent. $12. /night to park stinks! The lot was not even full at night and it was self parking, no frills. This price range should NOT have a fee for a basic parking lot. Tried sitting in “new” lounge area but told I couldn’t because they were taking photos for their new web page. Hey, I’m paying for this! That’s like being barred from using the pool in 90 degree weather at a resort. Should have comped the parking at least! Would not honor government rate saying I had to book online for that. Not so at other equitable hotels. Breakfast was delish.
