My sheets had cigarette holes and burns. My sheets and pillow cases were dirty looking.I woke up with Three bedbugs bite on my elbow. I then told management and they said we don't have bedbugs and walked off. No vinding machine. No restaurant within walking distance. Management walks straight in your room in the morning without knocking. And most of all the rooms is not worth asking price. ##### Kimberly Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connor Oct 28, 2024 ##### Connor Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Oct 17, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Stayed here for a trip to go to a South Carolina football game.
