Room hadn't been cleaned in months. Hairs on the sheets, dirt on the floor and under the bed. Unsafe feeling, we were almost hit by an intoxicated driver in the hotel yard and then almost attacked by their dog. Hotel charges $50 deposit. We wanted to cancel upon arrival but the clerk didn't let us cancel the reservation.

This hotel was horrible. Towels were dirty and stained, Blood on the wall, sheets looked unclean,burn holes in bed sheet covers, shower was filthy. We spend our money as well as trusting that we will be provided with a clean and sanitary room. When the company fails this and says we’re not able to be refunded it is extremely unfair!!! I did not stay the night immediately booked somewhere else and glad I did.

The sheets where filthy towels looked like they were never washed after the previous user. Tv wouldn’t work called the front desk to ask why it won’t and they had no reason. Very very unsatisfactory and would never stay here or any motel 6 ever again

They charged a refundable deposit, which Expedia did not mention at time of booking. Exterior was old, area was questionable such that it appeared there were unhoused ppl staying there. 2 SC Police officers arrived at some point and were speaking to other motel guests. Room was TINY. Bed was comfortable, but sheets and towels looked dirty/dingy. Would not stay here again.
