Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The location was great. The price was kinda high considering the rooms and amenities. The pictures definitely over sold the room. It seems as if they’re renovating slowly and in a shoty fashion. We found better rooms for cheaper after our first night.
Patrik, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I didn’t stay in this place, looks scary and rooms to small and the area not good.
Johana, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

First and foremost the cleaning staff (Ladies) were very nice and polite. Parking on the other hand was very limited and ppl were double parked. I know it's out of their control, but ppl were very inconsiderate being noisy at night, along with the issues of the homeless being on grounds.
Priscilla, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The management and the place was rude and dirty.
Debbie, 2-night trip

That’s ok
Yamin, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Registration was easy and man super helpful and friendly.
Wendell, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

I wouldn’t recommend this place. We got it for a good price but it was still not the best stay. I didn’t feel safe. The rooms smelled of smoke / weed. There seemed to be a homeless community using the car park - I wasn’t threatened but it didn’t make me feel safe with my family. The door didn’t shut properly and I’m not sure the windows did either. It was noisy. The floor was filthy and the bedding wasn’t clean. Dated and uncared for. Choose somewhere else.
Sarah, 1-night trip

Clean and convinient
Paul, 1-night trip

Mario, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Dogs in other rooms barking nonstop, can hear everything from nextdoor rooms. Stains on bedding, cleaning products left in bathroom. Large hole in bathroom wall to outside covered with piece of wood. Staff was extremely nice, check in and check out super easy.
Khaden, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This hotel was horrible. Towels were dirty and stained, Blood on the wall, sheets looked unclean,burn holes in bed sheet covers, shower was filthy. We spend our money as well as trusting that we will be provided with a clean and sanitary room. When the company fails this and says we’re not able to be refunded it is extremely unfair!!! I did not stay the night immediately booked somewhere else and glad I did.
Janiel, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

AWFUL!!

Awful stay. Bugs crawling on walls and our things. Will never stay here again. Had to book another place for the rest of our stay.
Michael, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nothing unique, stair to the second floor is not safe, slippery when wet, no shampoo available.
Hector, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Don't recommend on the phone

Too small had two beds in there for two people no room to walk three steps to get into the door free handicap forget about it beds are too high no closet hang your clothes up I've been to motel 6 before they always had a closet they need to do away with the steps
Steve, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

They charged a refundable deposit, which Expedia did not mention at time of booking. Exterior was old, area was questionable such that it appeared there were unhoused ppl staying there. 2 SC Police officers arrived at some point and were speaking to other motel guests. Room was TINY. Bed was comfortable, but sheets and towels looked dirty/dingy. Would not stay here again.

Vianey, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Better than expected

Much better than expected. Nice large walk-in shower and new bathroom. Clean remodel done with quality. Comfortable mattress larger of mini refrigerator with separate freezer. Beside the narrow layout of the structure n parking lot of an old school motel extra parking in the rear.
