Very nice rooms and staff. And they ha e the hottest showers ive been in.
The staff, Ryan and his family were very kind. Checking in late at night without a reservation, being a stranger to the area they assisted us with directions and choices of How to navigate the area. The rooms were clean, restaurants close and a Dollar Store near by. Thank you.
It was right across from the event we are working at, which is great. The rooms weren't bad for the price, but whoever cleaned them didn't do the best job. Not bad, but not the best, ie soap left in the shower and a couple used hygiene items in the drawer.
I love this little place. I have to go to this little bitty SC town called Estill once a month & this motel is my home for the weekend!! Its about 20 mins from the FCI, its clean & affordable & Ms Millie is a sweet heart!!!
Great place. Nice stay! Paneling in the rooms were awesome. Very clean and nice staff. They even allowed dogs. Can't wait to go back.
Stayed with family and friends for a family reunion. The phone didnt work soon as i mentioned it to management he came. Wifi is going to be different from hotel but works. Was missing a shower curtain , again management didnt hesitate. Housekeepers were also very helpful and professional. If you looking to save do go here. My room thank god or the kids room had zero bugs so im pleased.
Well looks can be deceiving!!! Gentlemen at the front desk was extremely helpful and nice. We had 3 rooms all 3 rooms where extremely clean. Way better than the days inn just up the road!!! And the beds where so soft yea the sheets could be upgraded but other than that I can’t say anything negative about this place. Also the bathrooms were remodeled, with walk in showers, and tile floors. Idk where these negative people are staying but it wasn’t here. Maybe u had a chip on your shoulder just because of the way it looked on the outside. And u had an attitude with the guy up front and he was just returning the favor. Oh well no bugs that I saw either.
Recent renovations have really upgraded this place. Perfect location for the Watermelon festival, just across the street from the Courthouse, which is the festival's epicenter.
