The hotel is conveniently located near Fort Jackson, making it very convenient if you are visiting the area. The rooms, although cleaner, had a noticeable smell of smoke and the noise from the nearby highway was quite loud. The initial impression was decent, but there were some drawbacks to consider.

Our stay was a mixed experience. The rooms had been tastefully renovated with a neutral color palette and a convenient kitchenette, but they struggled to cool adequately. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some friendly and helpful staff but also encounters with non-hotel employees. The location was good for accessing Ft. Jackson and nearby amenities, though there were some loud disturbances. The dining options were limited, and the facilities could use some maintenance.
