“Decent, but little false advertising on their website.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful. Especially one gentleman at the front desk, whose name I unfortunately don't know. He was very friendly, helpful and would always go out of his way to get my granddaughter milk or cereal or fruit even after the continental breakfast hours were over. The room was clean. Nothing special, just a basic room which was fine. Didn't need anything more than that. The main complaint that I have is that on their website it states that they have "sleep number" beds, which is one of the main reasons I chose this hotel due to severe back problems. Lo and behold, no sleep number beds, just a regular bed that made my back hurt very badly. I was pretty upset about that, but nothing I could do about it.
Overall, the hotel was decent. Clean, quiet, even when it was full with families there for graduation at Ft. Jackson, and as I said, friendly, helpful staff. Also, very close to Ft. Jackson, so if you are going to graduation, it's a good choice as far as location goes.
I think that they need to either take the 'sleep number bed" off their list of amenities or maybe put some in the rooms!! Pretty misleading.

“Cost matters, but so does quality.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

person found this review helpful

After reviewing this sites reviews of this Bestwestern hotel, it was a no-brainer to stay here. Cost-is-king in this economy and we were not disappointed with our stay this past weekend. We generally stay at BW and other economy hotels, and this one stands out because it was one of the least expensive ($59 plus tax) and the cleanest. The room had a nice pleasant aroma upon entering and the furnishings were up to date. The bathroom was fully stocked with linens and overall cleanliness was above average. I cannot think of any reason why I would stay anywhere else and pay considerably more.....

Just a quick glance on the Internet showed this hotel to be one ofbthe most economical in the area. Skip the main drag, drive around the corner, and save half. Clean, easy check in, and dog friendly.

“Quick but nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

We checked the internet while passing through Columbia and found a deal at this Best Western so stayed one night. While it was only one night, it was a pleasant stay. Clean comfortable room, clean bathroom, the lobby was clean, etc. Admittedly, we only stayed because we got a good deal that night, but all else being equal or even close to equal if we are passing through in the future, we would stay again.

“Great place for Boot Camp Graduation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

people found this review helpful

I stayed at Best Western for 3 days during my boyfriend's Boot Camp Graduation in Septemeber 2011. I was nervous as I travelled alone, but the hotel was warm and friendly, felt safe and secure. The hotel was close to the base, easy in/out of gate (did not use main gate), but can't exactly remember the number. The price was good, hotel met my needs, for reason for stay. I did not spend alot of time in the hotel, but was sure glad that it was close by, as I was up early and did not return until late. Check in/out was easy, staff were friendly and welcoming.
