I chose to stay at the Landmark Inn after I read the RECENT reviews (you have to go by the reviews in 2011) on Tripadvisor, against the advice of my friends who live there. They told me that it was horrible and dirty but it was the exact OPPOSITE! The Landmark has been, and is still in the process of, being renovated. You can tell that the buildings have been there for some time...and you can tell that it was probably beat down in the past. But the renovations have it clean and quite comfortable. I stayed in room 108 where the carpet was brand new (cant tell you how important that is to me), mattresses were new and very comfortable, linen looked new, new microwave, new fridge...everything was clean and nice. The rates are great and I even got the senior rate at age 58. Also plenty of free parking and free internet (it was fast, too).

I called the inn to make my reservations and spoke to Leslie, who was as pleasant, helpful, and friendly as could be. (How many times do you look forward to meeting the person who made your reservations?) On the phone with her and in person I felt as if I had known her for years. I also met Barbara there who was just as friendly and helpful.

Not sure about the continental breakfast because I never get up and out in time for that. But I did find coffee, granola type bars, and fruit in the lobby. I did, however, take a peek at the dining area and it is quite nice. The lobby is also very nice and looks very comfortable. There is a very nice outdoor pool with pool furniture all around.

Dont get me wrong...this is NOT upscale. Personally I like hotels, not motels with the doors to the outside. But there aren't many choices in Hartsville and I think you may have to stay in Florence if you need upscale or hotels. It was more important for me to be close to my friends' house. I think the 'Inn' in the name threw me off because when I see 'Motel' I automatically know that the doors are outside...lol.

But it was very nice, clean, and convenient which is most important to me these days since I can no longer afford 'upscale' anyway.

Hey Leslie and Barbara...keep up the good work! Your 'Inn' is one of Hartsville's nicer 'Landmarks".

OH...LET'S NOT FORGET THIS..."NO BEDBUGS"!! THAT is the most important amenity of all!!

I was sceptical about my stay upon making the reservation because I had stayed at this hotel in the late 90's and the early 2000. We were in town for the Butler Heritage Festival and I must say the hotel was outstanding. From the time we checked in the customer service (thanks Leslie) was wonderful. The rooms had been recently renovated, were clean and fresh. The hotel lobby had fresh fruit everywhere as well as snack packs for the kids. The cleaning staff were friendly and kind. Would I stay here again? Yes, this would be my hotel of choice. Again thanks, much appreciated.

My family and I stayed in one of the newly renovated suites! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! This hotel is under new management and they are working to improve the bad name the hotel had. They were remodeling rooms while we were there but we never heard any construction noises that were disturbing at all! The lobby was beautiful and tastefully decorated. The room had new carpet and super large bed. The bathroom was HUGE and the jacuzzi tub AWESOME! Everything was lovely and the staff was great. We will stay again!

We were very satisfied with our stay at The Landmark Inn. Our service was excellent, and we were treated with the upmost charisma and professionalism. Our room was clean and updated. We recieved a great value for our dollar. Thank you and your staff for an excellent stay.
