Dirty smoke smelling room. Man that checked us in very rude. Sheets had blood stains. Man at front was no help bad attitude. Better bring your own pillows because theirs were non existing.
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.
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.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.

Liked: Room comfort
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.
Only one person to check people in and they showed up late. Had to come back multiple times to check in. Room had a funk to it and was not satisfying.

Drove 4hours to not have a person to check us n had no room we were luck to get another hotel this was a busy weekend most all were booked very disappointed never stay stay at this hotel it was a dump too
Liked the price but that is all!
Did not like the drug deal in the parking lot, or the cockroach, the smell and mess in the office, no ice, springs in the bed, only two towels, no water pressure in the shower. The problem is there are two Southern lodge hotels in Orangeburg have stayed in the other one not affiliated with expedia and it was good. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!
Booked a room through Expedia to evacuate from Hurricane Florence, but when I called the hotel directly to add a night, the price was raised 30% fot the whole stay. I will be turning them in for price gouging when the storm is over.
The place was not of good standards at all. First they couldn't find my reservations and then the place had no descent towels. I had to buy some. The maid service there was none. Never will i ever recommend this place.
