We stayed here without really checking any reviews. Dont make the same mistake!!
The rooms are dirty and smell.
Do not look at the mattress. The stains look like some sort of Rorschach test that you do not want to take.
Pray there is no fire for there are no working alarms in the rooms. As for hot water, like warm is the best you will get.
Remember, you get what you pay for

This property is beyond disgusting. I read the reviews hoping this would a gem like they claimed it to be and it was not that. The bedding, filthy, the furniture, filthy. The room reeked of cigarette smoke and I literally killed 4 roaches. The room isn't livable, it would not pass DHEC regulations.I understand that Orangeburg is a small but that doesn't mean the hotels shouldn't be livable. I don't understand why Travelocity is promoting this hotel on their website. When I told the manager about my experience he yelled and told me that what I should've expected. I had to buy sheets to put on top of the comforter and I slept fully clothed. I was too exhausted to drive back to Charleston after homecoming. But if I paid for a room that I thought would be livable that shouldn't be a problem. Do NOT stay here.

Uncomfortable
Did not check in. Upon arrival a person with a shopping cart (homeless) going into a room. Abandoned, stripped, car in parking lot. Atmosphere terrible. Informed front desk that we would not be staying.

Do better.
Place needs work. The door was bent at top and bottom. Toilet rocked back a forth. Few small holes in walls. No smoke detector. Wires for detector hanging from ceiling. Cockroaches in room. Flat pillows. Walls had crayon on them and stickers on door.

The room was being remodeled and we felt like we were being watched. It was dirty. We managed for one night cause our trailer was being fumigated and sanitized.

I will NEVER stay at this hotel again. The rooms were dirty and didn’t realize that they had bed bugs until we woke the next morning with bites all over our bodies. I lifted the covers and saw the little bugs. When checking out, I told the worker and he tried to get an attitude. He wouldn’t refund my money but he doesn’t have to worry about getting any more of it.
