Overall it was okay. I wish it had a pool but that was my fault for not checking. The breakfast was good and it was clean but the staff wasn’t the most friendly. They were also having problems with the locks on all the rooms and we had to wait for someone to let us in every time we went back to the room. A nice location next to the Congaree River with a nice historical park.

This was my second stay in the last six months and both visits were great! Very accommodating and helpful front desk. They are transparent about road noise, but I travel with ear plugs so no problem for me.
