Shower was out of body wash. However, when I return to Sumter, this hotel will be my first consideration.

Room was clean, but the door handle had seen better days. My door was left open by the cleaning crew, luckily I didn't have anything worth stealing. The breakfast was pretty much non-existent. That was the only reason I booked this hotel, the photos showed a hot breakfast included. The staff was nice and helpful.

I loved the location..very good spot near everything. I was a little disappointed in the morning breakfast. Cereal, and coffee and fruit was not what was expecting. Definitely the first time seeing any hotel breakfast. It made it look cheap and it wasn't thought out. When you think of breakfast you would think something warm eggs bacon bagels toast something.Not cold cereal
Room not clean fridge broken all ice mechines broken

They are going through renovations right now so there’s a lot going on so I’m not complaining as far as that is concerned. The more obvious things were the things that I’m guessing they have not been replaced for updated yet because they’re in transition, but there was no pool and their breakfast was not great at all. I would probably recommend putting cold stuff in a small refrigerator like the yogurt and milk instead of just leaving it out for hours and maybe even having some hot food not just cereal, bagels and yogurt and I think I also seen oatmeal. But the manager that was on duty, I believe was very nice and did his best to accommodate. I think they’re going to be a great hotel once they’re finishing up all the updates and all just be prepared if you go there now it is in the middle of transition.
