"Centrally located and quite close to the road to Parris Island. The hotel room was small and wasn't that clean. The TV worked, though, and there was a fridge and microwave. No daily housekeeping unless requested, and the towels were only replaced once. Not a luxury place, but it was adequate and close to the base.2022-11-05"
"Nice, secure area. The hotel was older and very dated, with no modern conveniences. It served its purpose for an overnight stay, though. The grab and go breakfast was sufficient. 2022-09-12"

"A poor experience, and not worth the price. We weren't told there would be no housekeeping service during our stay. When we asked for clean towels, we were told only beach towels were available and we'd have to come get them. When we went to the front desk, the hotel clerk said there were no towels of any size available. Keep looking.2021-07-19"

"I was not happy that I had to take a cold shower at this hotel.2017-12-20"
"The hotel was wonderful, clean, and comfortable, and the staff was attentive. The area where the tile floor met the bathtub needed some bleach, but I'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.2017-09-18"
"I had a satisfactory stay. The hotel itself was great. Nice on-site restaurant and bar with entertainment many nights. My only complaint was that some equipment in the business center didn't work. Lots of road construction on the street in front, but it wasn't inconvenient enough to avoid staying here.2016-05-19"
"An average place. I wasn't impressed with the hotel clerk; she just handed me the keys and told me how to get to my room, without providing any information about amenities or checkout time. The night clerk was nice, and breakfast was good.2017-11-19"
"The toilet in our hotel room wasn't clean, and our room wasn't serviced the 2nd day; I had to go to the front desk to get fresh towels.2017-09-25"

"This motel was awful. The room wasn't what I expected. It was pouring rain, and water was up to the door; the drainage was terrible. Don't recommend staying here.2015-09-22"
"My 4-night stay was horrible. I experienced broken-down beds, burned-out lightbulbs, clogged bathtubs, and a bathroom flooded with sewage. I was moved to 3 different rooms, and they were all horrible. It ruined my vacation. Don't stay at this hotel.2020-07-20"

"Convenient to the outlet mall, and not a bad drive to the island. The room was clean and reasonably priced, and the hotel staff was friendly. Since I had an injury, it was painful climbing the steps to the front desk, and the handicap elevator didn't work. 2017-08-31"
"Great hotel stay.2017-08-17"
"The hotel room was nice and clean. Great customer service. Stay here.2016-02-28"
"Hotel sign was hard to see from the highway. Clean and pleasant room. Enjoyed the light, atrium-like lobby with curtains around the columns. Friendly, helpful employees. Breakfast was beautifully arranged, and the food was excellent. We had a lovely stay and will be back.2015-01-22"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
