    Hotel was very pretty. The breakfast was fantastic with friendly helpers but the front desk staff, both night and day, were a little rude and it seemed to bother them if you asked a question. The biggest problem was our toilet. Every time the room close to us flushed if we happened to be on ours we got a burst of water in our bottom. Not a good feeling 😕 I don't think we will be staying there again.

    Congaree is a pretty small park so after a morning hike and no sleep, I was completely exhausted but still waiting for my ‘stay’ to start. They were able to get me in a room a couple hours before check in so I didn’t have to sleep in my car. Hotel is well maintained and it’s next to a lot of bars and restaurants.

    It was close to where we needed to be. So we just parked our vehicle and everything was in walking distance You have to pay for parking which I didnt see anything disclosed about that. We got were able to get free parking because our room wasnt ready until after 5pm because they were very short staff. And since it was just finished when we came back from getting a bite to eat, it smelled strongly of bleach.

The variety of offerings included fresh cut fruits, omelets, hot cereals and our favorite waffle station. This place had regular waffles and blueberry. Coffees were good too We will be back!

    Our stay at this property was not great. The AC did not work in our room. They sent a maintenance person to repair it & the air went out a second time in a matter of 15 minutes. From that point, they said they would need to replace the entire unit, but did not offer to move us. After waiting over 30 minutes for the repair, we asked for a room change. While they did move us, they did not offer to help us transfer rooms or bring us a new room key. The WiFi was down & the front desk told us that they couldn’t do anything about it. The TV did not work properly either. You had to be standing on top of it to change the channels. The cleanliness of the room was also an issue with some mold on the shower door and dried food on the inside top of the ice bucket. The lobby was completely torn up due to renovations and only one of two elevators were working and it was very sketchy. The stairs were out of service, so the elevator was the only option to reach the room. The breakfast area was located in the middle of the construction zone. The waffle maker was not working properly and other food items were poorly stocked. We did not feel comfortable dining in the hotel, so went elsewhere for breakfast. Lastly, the employees were minimally responsive. We found one employee sitting behind the front desk playing on his phone during the breakfast rush. We usually book at Hampton Inn and this was the worst experience we’ve ever had.

    This hotel is being renovated. The front lobby was closed so we had to use a side entrance that had a table set up in a narrow hallway as a make shift front desk. The hotel is very dirty. Not sure if it’s due to the construction but the hallways and everything need a deep clean. When we walked into our room the floor was sticky and my shoes were sticking as I walked. I could also see spills and crumbs. I asked that the laminate part of the floor be cleaned again and someone came and quickly went over it. It was still very dirty so I went over it with 4-5 Clorox wipes. They turned black from the amount of dirt that was on the floor. The positives and reason for 2 stars is the staff was very nice and the breakfast was good. Also a good location and easy drive to the university and there are lots of restaurants within walking distance.

    This hotel is located in a very convenient location with many dining and shopping options within easy walking distance. The front desk staff was outstanding (kudos to Marta!) and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed from check-in to check-out. Our only hiccup was that the water pressure in the shower was very low and came out almost as a soft sprinkle instead of a spray (despite turning the showerhead to different options), and the overhead nozzle didn't operate - only the hand-held wand worked (which was probably because it was an accessible-type room, the only type room available when we reserved). Marta did offer to have maintenance come by and check it out but we declined - I believe not much if anything can be done about the water pressure in that one specific room. Overall, an excellent stay and we'd definitely stay there again.
