The first room we were given was not cleaned from previous guest. We went back to front desk where it took 20 minutes to locate us another room. We said we would take any room, but the clerk said because we booked on Orbitz she could only giver us the same type of room we had booked. At 11:30 at night we did not appreciate the extra half hour delay in getting to sleep.

Overall it was okay. I wish it had a pool but that was my fault for not checking. The breakfast was good and it was clean but the staff wasn’t the most friendly. They were also having problems with the locks on all the rooms and we had to wait for someone to let us in every time we went back to the room. A nice location next to the Congaree River with a nice historical park.

It took 15 minutes to check in because Cherelle (the front desk attendant) was supposedly on the phone with the owner. This behavior was very unprofessional. She did not apologize. To add matters worse, the hotel charged for parking.

The hotel itself was good. In the room the bathroom wasn't that clean. There was hair in the shower on the walls and a piece of hair stuck in the shower door, which is still there! The sink had hair on it and the water pressure isnt great. We had to buy our own cleaner to clean the bathrrom before using it. The water runs very low in the sink. Other then that its ok!!
