This hotel is old. The AC unit was very loud, which made sleeping @ night restless. They don't have a large breakfast menu! The hotel smell old. Old furniture, shower is old! This is my 1st and last time. This is just my opinion!

Staff was average. Property was very clean. Bed was comfy. AC worked great. The biggest issue was how noisy the main road is next to the building and it’s literally right on that road. If your room faces that side then the loud cars and trucks might disturb you. That’s the only reason I won’t go back.

The first room we were given was not cleaned from previous guest. We went back to front desk where it took 20 minutes to locate us another room. We said we would take any room, but the clerk said because we booked on Orbitz she could only giver us the same type of room we had booked. At 11:30 at night we did not appreciate the extra half hour delay in getting to sleep.

Overall it was okay. I wish it had a pool but that was my fault for not checking. The breakfast was good and it was clean but the staff wasn’t the most friendly. They were also having problems with the locks on all the rooms and we had to wait for someone to let us in every time we went back to the room. A nice location next to the Congaree River with a nice historical park.
