The host, Peter was outstanding. He was best part of entire stay. Beds were confortable. Shower was barely ok. kinda noisy because so close totalking loudly highway. First night stay was bad. 3 truck loads of mexican construction workers stayed outside their rooms talking loudly until 1AM. No phones in room.

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.

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.

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.

Bel-Mar Inn
New owner who is very friendly and making repairs to a property that was run down. Spacious room, bed was comfortable and the room very clean. Large selection of tv channels. Was better than I expected. Convenient and a reasonably priced if playing the savannah lakes golf courses.

Older property, in need of some attention. Friendly manager. Couple miles out of town. Was a welcome rest after a long day on the road

The only complaint that I really have is it smells like smoke and thy didn’t change the bed linen or give us clean towels and wash clothes each day

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.

Left the property at 1am and had to drive home. Next door was people sitting outside my door talking loudly. People coming and going. Terrible experience.

As others said , basic hotel with a friendly owner and clean rooms. If you get there past 10 pm, you have to ring to get checked in , and charged a little extra for the late help. The owner is on top of it all and had emailed us earlier through the booking site. Had I told them the exact arrival time , they could have sent the door code by email. Room is very basic and yes outdated but functional.

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

Easy to find. Close to SLV which is our reason for being in the area. Owner was very pleasant to deal with. He was not aware of our reservation when I gave him a printed version. It was not an issue. Very clean, neat room, though dated. No American news or tv channels, well, maybe HLN? Over 200 from India or somewhere though. Some Canadian too. Great price point room that did the trick for us. AA

This property is under new ownership and management. They have updated a lot but still needs more. The floors are uneven, the AC doesn't smell the greatest but not bad, no clock, no hand towels, no Kleenex, shower needs updated and the bottom of the tub is very slippery when it gets wet. There are signs that say that so that's a plus. The beds are perfect! Nice and comfy and the linens are so nice and plush! The manager is super nice and the grounds are clean. Would I stay again? Well heck ya! All in all it is a great place to stay, just a few updates and that takes time and money. If you like Mexican food, eat at the restaurant just down from the motel. So good!
