They just put a Sonic’s in front of the hotel but it does connect with the hotel . There airport connection when traveling is s superior. However I wish they could extend the pick up hours. The front desk and customer service is excellent as well. I highly recommend this place.
Loved it everything was clean staff was very friendly I paid for another night bc it was very comfortable
The people complaining about this hotel have obviously never stayed at the knights inn on exit 113 on i26. That place was a scuz hole...
I enjoy everytime I stay here. Plenty of room, restaurants and a bar nearby, friendly staff, and bed sooo comfy! I will return often.
Check in was smooth. Our nonsmoking room was Clean and neat. It did smell a little bad like penetrated odors in the carpet. It did have a new full size fridge. Toilet didn't flush right.
Would have loved to try their breakfast if Rocky would have let me....but NO
Everyone keeps to themselves . No loud people or music. N they always give me an end room if possible which is my preference... plus they don't mind if I need an extra hour or so to get myself situated for checkout
Personally had a positive experience here. Daisy, on 2nd shift, was amazing! Very friendly and helpful. She was sold out of the king beds but had a suite available for under $80! So we stayed in #312. No complaints about cleanliness, except for the carpet. No foreign hairs, no bugs! Clean sheets and towels. WiFi was almost non-existent but that's probably because we were so far from the lobby. Didn't have time to try breakfast but it sure smelled good when I went in to check out. Does need updated and more parking, but overall I would recommend staying here and would stay here again myself.
In a wooded business area off Highway 321, this low-key hotel lies next to outdoor events at the Historic Columbia Speedway. It's also 9 miles from Riverbanks Zoo & Garden.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in South Carolina. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
