Does not live up to the name. First of all, when we booked the room, we told the Choice Hotels representative that we wanted a hotel close to Hwy 20, but instead we got one that was off of Hwy 24; at least 15 minutes, each way, out of our way. And, they had us down for a single king bed when our reservations were for 2 doubles. Next, we had problems finding the place as it's immediately after the exit from the highway and set back off the road, so is easy to miss. And when we called to get directions, no one answered the phone. Then, when we entered the lobby to check in, we were greeted by an overpowering sweet floral scent which was also present in our room, so I'm guessing it's the cleaner they use. Then in the room, I noticed that there was some sticky goop on the desk that should have been cleaned before we came. Plus, the room needs a new paint job, as there were quite a few marks on the wall, and the tub was pretty marred. Also, there was what looked like a drop of blood stain on one of the bedspreads. And although the room could sleep 4, there were only 2 bath towels, 1 hand towel, and 1 washcloth in the room. They did give me more when I requested them, though. Finally, at breakfast, when I made a waffle, I noticed that the batter was very thin as if it had been watered down. On a positive note, both the receptionist and the lady at breakfast were very friendly and they have a really good selection of yogurt at breakfast.

NEVER AGAIN!!_ I stayed there lastnight…It was such an absolutely disgusting experience, We decided go to another hotel. From the moment we arrived… -There were people screaming and arguing with each other while we were trying to check-in. -People who obviously lived there were hanging around the parking lot and sidewalks drinking, and being ridiculously loud. -The carpet throughout the hallway to the room was grossly stained, and smells awful. -You could here people making loud sexual noises through the hallway…like some kind of rent by the hour establishment. -I went to re-park my car closer to the room so I could see it through my window for security reasons, there were people completely blocking the stairs…just sitting there and drinking. - The trash cans by the stairs were overflowing onto the sidewalk, and smelled disgusting as well as the ridiculous amount of flies and gnats the garbage was attracting just below the stairs. -The shower had extremely low water pressure. -The toilet didn’t flush correctly and took several attempts. -The drains in the sink or shower didn’t work properly. -They did give us 2 towels, but only 1 wash cloth even though they were fully aware 2 people were booked in the room. Not to mention…1 of the bath towels had suspicious brown stains on it. -As we were collecting our belongings to leave…we saw roaches crawling out from under the refrigerator. -I complained to the lady at the desk but she didn’t even have the decency to pretend she was surprised! Needless to say…we are staying at a different hotel tonight. New development…Apparently I can’t leave this review unless I give them some type of score, which is NOT fair at all._

________ Furniture in some rooms need to be put in a dumpster. Sink and Tub drains very slow. Not bad if you dont mind taking a shower in a tub filled with dead skin and spermcells of the last few guest._. Take those $5 Hotel Service Fees and make the necessary repairs.

NOT BAD AT ALL... I've stayed at several different hotels in the area when I'm in Columbia some a little more expensive but overall this one I always feel I get my moneys' worth. Clean and comfortable. I've stayed here several times within the last few months and have "never" seen a bug, thank God. I also like the "early check-ins" & "late check-outs" to accomadate almost any situation. Miss KD if you're reading this, Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and good directions to the nearest Wal-Mart which just so happened to be right across the street._ *See you again soon.

DO NOT STAY HERE! We were in town for a military graduation. Rooms were filthy, we were only given two towels even though there were more than two in our party. When we asked for extra towels we were told there were none available. Manager was rude and we had to have our key reactivated the second night. Pay a little more and book a nicer hotel.
