This motel used to be a Ramada Inn. The place is FILTHY! A dirty bath towel was put on the towel rack for us to use (it looked like someone wiped the floor with it). The telephone was sticky - filthy. The bathtub was cruddy (it really couldn't be cleaned well after maybe 20 - 25 years of use). Carpeting... More

We used a coupon book in South Carolina and arrived in Florence ready to stop for the night. After checking in several hotels that had no more rooms we saw the Howard Johnsons and decided to try it. The woman on the desk was abrupt and bordering on rude. We paid more than what the coupon advertised but she insisted... More

My wife and some friends decided to go to the darlington race, and I found this place on the internet and found the rooms to be less expensive then the other hotels in the area, and did not have a 2 night minimum. We are glad we stayed here, the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean! We checked in very... More

I reserved a room at this hotel for my annual/Fall "snowbird" trip from New Hampshire to Florida. I selected the hotel because of their pet-friendly policy. The pictures looked really nice online, and they claimed to be recently renovated. The front half of the hotel has undergone some renovations, but the back half is like living in a war-zone. Of...

Whatever you do... do NOT stay at this - I can't even call it a hotel. Yes it had a roof, beds and lighting but otherwise you'd think your were in a 3rd world country. We were on our way back up north after a road trip to Florida. We had stayed at a Marriott Suites outside of Raleigh on... More

Very friendly desk staff. Lobby is attractive, but more money should be put into the rooms. No doubles in the newer-looking building (looks new from outside, but rooms are old with newer furnishings). Pet-friendly and non-smoking double rooms are in buildings at the back of the lot, and I would not stay back there, especially if alone. Some seedy folks... More

This was my first time staying at your hotel. The front desk person was very helpful. The room was very nice, and the breakfast the next morning was very good. More

I know all this is a matter of opinion but let me list the issues without all the complaining: 1) Dead ants under the wall border covering. Front desk rep said the room just sprayed. 2) Cable was fuzzy. Maintenance man came and checked the cables wires and said he will check the property for an extra cable. He never... More

We stayed at this hotel for a softball tournament. When I called the hotel directly, I mentioned the bad reviews they've received. They took over the hotel in Feb 2010, according to the desk person. I told them if we found the room less than optimal, we wouldn't be staying. We got a rate lower than what's published on these... More
