"An emergency stay during Hurricane Helene power outage. Amazingly helpful and supportive staff and manager. They were pulling out all the stops to accommodate storm refugees and turn over rooms as fast as possible. It was nice to be able to walk to Riverbanks Zoo, and a Waffle House and 7-11 store right across the street made it easy and cheap to get outside as soon as weather permitted."

We stayed in a one-bedroom suite that was just right for the weekend — loved having separate living and sleeping areas. The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was a great size. Would definitely stay again."

"We were hitting up Lake Murray on our way to Folly Beach and stayed here and we uad a very nice experience. Both check-in and check-out were very easy and everyone was nice & polite. Our room was clean and bigger than most hotel rooms and price was decent. There were multiple good food and brewery choices right by us and it was only about a 12 min drive the lake. If we were in the area, we would stay here again for sure!"
