It was a very good stay than expected. Check in was smooth and staff are so so nice. They will make sure to address any of our needs and concerns. Stay is quiet and there is a restaurant in 100mts distance that’s an advantage. Rooms are good to stay. Hotel staff are highlight to this property, they are very professional and helpful.

I think the best way to evaluate this motel is to do it via pros and cons.
Pros: good location – right across the street from Walmart, a gas station, Burger King, Dollar General, and Dunkin’ Donuts. Within the same parking lot was a Mexican restaurant, liquor store, and smoke shop. This motel has a laundry room with vending and ice machines. The continental breakfast offered oatmeal, waffles, toast, pastries, coffee and juice. The room was clean, and the bed very comfortable. There was also a small microwave and a very large sized mini refrigerator.
The cons: the motel only had two small bars of soap, and a little tube of shampoo, there were no other toiletries.
Although there was a TV, you really couldn’t access anything unless you have apps which you can sign into. There was a night where we could hear people being loud outside our door which was disruptive of our sleep. The motel did not have an elevator so if you are in for a long stay, hope that you get a bottom floor so that you don’t have to climb the stairs. Our room was in the front which didn’t offer much of a view except the side of a restaurant while the back view at least had some greenery. The price of what we paid was much higher than what the motel is worth. However, we went during the time when the masters were playing in Augusta, which was only 30 minutes away. There was also no coffee maker and if you want to walk, forget about it because there are no sidewalks around.

We stayed here due to its proximity to The Masters (about 30 minutes away). Hotel was clean, beds were comfortable and they prepared a breakfast-in-a-box for us to take away in the morning so we could get on our way quickly in the morning. Very accommodating and kind staff. Thanks.

The rooms were very spacious and clean. There’s a Mexican restaurant on the same parking lot - very convenient for dinner. The young man at the front desk (cannot recall his name) was very friendly and helpful - he said they have breakfast in the mornings but if you leave prior to breakfast, they have goody bags to go. Very thoughtful!

Our stay after Hurricane Helene
We stayed because of the Hurricane and we were three days without power. We are senior citizens..we needed the AC and a Hot shower. The front desk bent over backwards to accommodate us. They were friendly and helpful...the room was dated but clean and well maintained. And under the circumstances the price was right.

The front desk staff was so so so nice. The go bags were a very nice touch, as we were there for the Masters so it was nice to be able to grab food and go. I will say the attention to detail in the room was lacking a bit. We found a container of onions in the fridge and a pepperoni on the floor by the sofa, left by the last person to stay in that room. Other than that it was a perfectly nice stay. The folks at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable. The TV was great, it was nice being able to watch Netflix.

There was hair on the bathroom floor and roaches as well. The bed seemed clean. I did not feel safe because people were coming off the street, walking to people outside their door making exchanges , then walking back to the street. We could also smell someone smoking weed outside our door late at night. When I went to the office area to get coffee there was a man sitting un a chair watching me and talking to himself. He didn’t seem to be affiliated with the property.

Pros - the front office workers were very friendly and accommodating. Kumar went out of his way to find a room with a working hair dryer for us. It took four tries, but he delivered with graciousness.
Cons - this site is in desperate need of upgrade and thorough cleaning. Our first room had ashes on the surfaces, a dirty bath towel hanging in the bathroom, the fridge was frozen, an outlet wasn’t functioning and it was just overall dirty. We went to Walmart and bought our own towels, sheets, pillows and sanitizer. Very disappointed. Book with caution!

Had an issue with the microwave basically frying, I was offered the lobby microwave to use, if I needed to. I declined due to having a plan B. I did observe the bathroom needed minor touch up, but nothing that stuck out for being highly upset. Everyone speaks to you like you’re someone, and input is very important to them. I have never had any issues with the hotel. They make a lot of effort to satisfy.

Had to leave in the middle of the night because of bed bugs. Got bit up. Told the front desk, they told me that there was nothing that they could do and that I had to wait for management. Waited on management, emailed them pictures and videos of bites and live bugs. I asked numerous times to receive a formal, written incident report but have yet to receive one. Management keeps saying they’ll call back but I’m the one who has to keep calling them. I’ve alerted DHEC, BBB and code enforcement to try to help ensure nobody else goes through this. I’m allergic and will eventually have to go to a doctor for antibiotics/steroids but am waiting for the incident report. I expect full compensation for my room, my deposit and any further medical bills associated to this or I will be seeking legal action. Happy 18 year anniversary to me and my wife, very disappointed in Econolodge.
