It was quiet.
THey refused to give me a downstairs room. the concrete stairs to the second floor were very slim (not to code, I'm sure) and steep. Dangerous for older folks or children. There was no coffee in the room OR down in the lobby in the morning, which was locked up tight. The sheets didn't smell clean, and the last straw was the COCKROACH that visited me in the morning as I was getting dressed.
Lots of trash blown up against the fence outside made it seem very seedy. Won't be back.

I don’t recommend

I never stayed there. They called me to CANCEL because overbooked and charged me in full anyway and now refuse to provide a refund even after hotels.com reached out to them. The manager is telling me I needed to cancel online even though they called me. She is saying no record of my credit card which isn’t true because I was charged and have all the info to prove it.

The scary bathroom

There was a hole in the bathroom ceiling and all the plaster from the hole was all over the bathroom in the tub on the floor and in and on the toilet there was water dripping from the hole so I had to wrap a towel around me whenever i had to use the bathroom and the clerk at the desk wouldnt even come to the room to acess the damage she just gave me a broom that I use along with the towels that we were supposed to use after we shower to clean the mess up myself she said the mop was in another part of the hotel but she wouldnt go get it and she said there were no rags either so i had no choice but to use the shower towels i took pictures but for some reason i cant upload them here in the space allowed for pictures

Desperate

This motel is located in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, there is a little strip mall with a grocery store and Restuarant. The motel is old but not run down. The clerk was friendly. I had some difficulty understanding him. His English wasn't the best, but he was genuinely nice and hospitable. The clerk showed me the room before I signed the paperwork. I was desperate because it was late, I was tired, and the previous motel that I left was worse. The room was sufficient. It didn't smell like smoke. The bathroom and vanity were clean. The beds had pillow top mattress covers which made them comfortable. The pillows were small and stuffed inside a standard pillowcase. There were no bedbugs. There was no loud noise. There was a strange man in the parking lot that I had to ignore but I wasn't afraid. Overall, I had a comfortable stay.

Roaches!!!

Looked clean but we killed 3 roaches that were on the nightstand! Roaches are absolutely unacceptable! We had to keep all lights blazing all night and one of us stayed awake all night to ensure none crawled on the one sleeping. Praying none snuck in our things to go home with us. Absolutely gross and unacceptable.

Bed Bugs Beware

We booked this hotel for several of our employees whom were working in Winnsboro. This hotel had signs of bed bugs as well as all of our employees whom stayed at this location from 6/27/23-6/30/23 had visible bites all over their bodies and their luggage and belongs became infested with bed bugs. We contacted the property as well as Hotels.com to explain the situation. We advised Hotels.com to immediately removed this hotel from the site due to the conditions of the rooms . Hotels.com has yet to do so. We requested a refund for the conditions of the rooms as well as the out of pocket cost to replace employee belongs and pay for their medical attention related to the bed bugs. We have yet to hear back from the property owner. Hotels.com offered to give us a very small credit toward a future stay. We have been Gold members for years and spend a significant amount of money with Hotels.com. Hotels have a responsibility to protect against bed bugs and keep customers safe under the common law and bed bugs are a risk to the safety of guest whom stay at this hotel. We should not have to suffer losses incurred because of the negligence on the part of a hotel owner to prevent bed bugs. We have notified the appropriate agencies of this issue since the owner does not seem to care and would like to warn against others staying here so they do not have to suffer like our employees did.
Do not stay at this hotel!!!!

Pleasantly Surprised

I was a little leery about this small hotel, but was pleasantly surprised. Although just basic accommodations, the room was clean enough that I was comfortable showering and sleeping. The only suggestion I would give to management would be to close the bathroom door to clean the corners behind it and check for towels hanging on the back of the door.

If we got to stay there I could have given an opinion on the property. We got there and were told there were no rooms. This is after we PAID in advance for a room. No apologies. No help to get a booking some where else. No refund or help getting a refund thru Expedia. We had arrived at 10:30 pm after driving for 5 hours. After looking on Expedia to book another room. This property had an available room advertised for the same day we had arrived.

Trust me. Drive the 30 miles to Columbia and stay somewhere halfway decent. This place is a dump. Way out dated. Tiny soap bottles, old sheets, bad carpet. The two people working the front desk (I assume the owners) are rude. The town is run down and apparently full of crime. DO NOT STAY HERE.

This place is horrible! The windows were dirty, furniture old and scratched up, and the TV didn't work. There was also a disgusting smell of cow manure from apparently a nearby pastor. I could not stay in a place in such a decrepit condition. I for a refund and left the property.

The guy at the front desk had no idea what he was doing. I booked through Expedia and purchased my stay. Then when I got to the hotel I was charged again. Now I have to wait til that money goes back on my card. I had to use two cards put together to even open my door to get in and that wasn't easy took me 10 times before I could even get into my room. Walked in room was so hot. Took two hours for room to cool down. Was a smoking room so it smelled like a ashtray. I had no idea that there was even hotels that even allow you to smoke in them anymore. Stains all over seats. Big gap under door where any bugs could just come in. Fire detector was hanging from ceiling and beeping non stop. I had room 112. Worst place I have ever stayed at. People were slamming doors all night and outside talking and carrying on all night witch makes me think it may of been a drug hotel also. I don't understand how places like this can even stay open. So If your thinking this place save yourself the stress and go a couple more miles up the highway...

Hell no, never again

I recommend not staying here, the area is very sketchy the hotel is not clean , there was hair in the sink, the shower wasn't clean and the sheets were Stained yellow, needlessly to say we slept on top of the covers, I was also booked for two nights but upon booking in they didn't see the second night but the desk clerk assured me it would be ok to leave my stuff in the room while I was away at work, at 11 am I received a call from the hotel telling me to come get my stuff out, so making me leave work I went back to get my stuff and went to the front to show my ass alil, and low and behold they found my 2nd night booking, I told them to keep it I wasn't going to stay in their nasty motel ever again, I dont know why they would think it's ok to call someone and tell them to come now and get their stuff, just rude

Wish There Was More Choices in This One Horse Town

If I had been at a hotel costing less than 40.00, I would have been more accepting of issues. But I wasn't. My hotel cost 80.00 a night. I got there and was generally pleased with the room. I left for an even, and came back, and couldn't get in my room. So I had to walk up to the hotel office to get a key. The clerk asked me if there was someone in my room? If there was, I wouldn't need help getting in my room! Then after I got in, the air conditioner stopped working. I tried to call the front desk, and the phone didn't work. So again I walked up to the front office and told them my air was not working. The clerk came down, tried to get it to start, and couldn't, so he offered to put me in another room. I waited while he made a key for the second room, and he couldn't get in the door, so he had to go back and make a key for another room. Finally in a room, with working air. Once I was in a room that was working I did not leave. Overall, I was ok with it. Would have preferred a fan setting as the air was a bit cold. And I would have liked a channel list. There was a refrigerator and a microwave. If I was coming back to this town, that would not stop me from staying there, because it is the only one in town.

Well, the ice machine was broken. Was not impressed with the Continental breakfast area and the sitting breakfast area squeezed into the hotel lobby/check in area. We skipped breakfast. We small space. We like noise when we sleep and the air/heat unit could not just turn the fan on and it stay on.

Evacuated because of hurricane Florence.

We evacuated from Leland, NC because of hurricane Florence. This was an inexpensive place to stay. The staff was very nice. The rooms clean. The beds small at only full size. Breakfast consisted of coffee, juice, frosted flakes, raisin bran, honey buns from a box and donut dipping sticks that you buy at any grocery store. There is a a grocery store across the street and another within a mile. With a refrigerator and microwave that was nice. We ate at an Italian restaurant within 2 miles and it was good. We went to Blythwood and ate a couple times which had a lot more to offer restaurant wise and also a Comfort Inn that cost around $25. more per night. I would stay again if need be. It was nice considering we didn't know when we could come home or what we would come home to.

Free breakfaat NO bargin!

We've used this hotel several times between March and June. It is ok for the money, but don't even bother to go to the office for breakfast... all the beverages were VERY watered down, there was a little bit of cereal in two dispensers, and some cheap pastry type things. Also, the pool was not open at our most recent stay (6/6/2018). Best bet is to purchase food items from nearby Bi-Lo and use the in-room coffee pot, microwave, and refrigerator.
