Dirty, broken down and worn out everything. The AC clattered a death rattle and I barely slept - woke at 3:30 to the noise. Needs basic maintenance and a renovation. No top sheet, had to go back and ask manager for it. He launched into an explanation.

Horrible customer service

Ordered a double queen over a week in advance, called two days before arrival to verify the reservation. During the call i told him we would be 930 or possibly later, was told no problem. Arrived around 10 PM, was told our reservation had been canceled since we didn't arrive by 10PM. Had to turn around and find another room that night. Won't book again.

Hotel from hell

Had a resveration price, he did not honor, increased the cost $15.00 per nite. Room was never cleaned, two towels for two people. Carpet is over 30 years old. Was told I get a &20.00 refund on checking out, never happen. Next time I’ll drive the 30 miles to the next hotel. If you looking for a really poor hotel, this is it. The owner can hardly speak English. Really do not under any reason stay there

You have to remember this is a mom and pop place and so for the price point this was a good place. We were there for the bluegrass festival and our other options were more expensive or much farther away. As such the place is in need of an update and did provide the necessities. It met our needs. McCormick is just a few miles down the road and we can recommend the Little Italy restaurant and the Huddle House.

The rooms are very spacious. Is the first time I’ve ever seen a hotel where the head of the bed adjust so you could sit up and read a book in bed without needing too many pillows. The staff of the property was extremely professional and polite and went out of the way to help you, this is the best spot to stay at go to Graves Mountain rock swap and dig Since it’s only 20 minutes away from the site, which is straight down the same road the hotels on.

The Bel-Mar is a quaint throwback to a different time with a genuinely caring owner. Off the beaten path and nestled near the Sumter National Forest it's a peaceful place to stay. It's well cared for inn with spacious rooms that's a must stay if you're in the area.
