Not what is advertised
What I booked on the website was not what I got had to change the room and still was not what I booked. Hot breakfast to them meant stick it in the non working microwave to heat it up. Never again

Terrible service. If you book on Hotels.com, they will charge you an additional $15 for each kid staying with you even if you selected the correct number of people to the room online. Total sham and worst experience I've ever had with a motel.

8/10 Very good

I came in town for the local university's homecoming and it was the only hotel available at the time when I booked. I was only in the hotel room a short amount of time, but the time I spent was surprisingly comfortable. The amenities were sufficient for what I needed which was a place to rest at night. It met my expectations for a motel, but served the purpose without issues. The only observation I would note is that the maid service only left new towels and emptied the trash, but for the short stay this was not that big of a deal. The same staff member was there when I arrived and when I left and was pleasant. I would not make this a first choice, but would stay again if required.

1-Upon arriving condoms were laying about in the parking lot. 2-The clerk couldn't find the reservation, then put us in a smoking room. 3-Lights in the room did not work, nor did the TV. 4-The breakfast consisted of food with past-due expiration dates. Yogurt was curdled and rancid, cereal was stale. When we left the room without eating the clerk said, "You shouldn't have stayed here."

Pleasant low cost place with real value
We came here for #ride2remembersc and needed close, inexpensive place. It may not look nice outside and a bit sketchy since surrounding places are chain and newer, but this has personal touch. Nice staff. Hubby mistakenly booked smoking room, I had emailed to see if can switch. Sam both called and emailed follow up to say it has been taken care of. The small statue and decor at entrance reveals personal touch. The front desk clerk that was being trained didn't know we had prepaid the room via Hotels.com so had kept insisting on payment but Sam treated both her and us kindly and took care of it. Rooms aren't fancy, but are clean (even better than some Franchise ones). Had fridge, free breakfast with real food that even hubby with several food allergies like dairy and gluten could eat. Understand why majority of their guests are repeat customers. We will be for future Ride2Remember rides too. Love the personal touches and friendly employees. Sam, I learned is the owner who had this built 20+years ago. It's his baby and the guests are friends of his baby.

Won’t Be Staying Again!
It took three times to get us a room. First time, queen bed instead of king size bed. Second time, gave me keys to a king size room. However, when I opened the door to that room, I looked into the face of a woman staring at me asking how did that happen? We both mirrored an expression shock and all, while in May and was lying in the bed. The third time, they got us a small room with a king size bed. In the morning, I was looking forward to a cuppa coffee and a piece of toast or a bagel. As it turns out, they don’t provide a continental breakfast of any sort, other than coffee, if you book online with Hotels.com so be warned. We won’t be staying there again.

WONDERFUL HOTEL!
Wow! We had a wonderful stay. As we approached the front door of the hotel, we were met by a receptionist opening the door for us! The room was very clean as well as comfortable. What a great way to end a vacation!

Very disappointing
Staff was basically treated us like second class folk because we booked with Expedia rather than directly through them. Despite our reservation saying continental breakfast was included, we were told no because we booked through Expedia. The morning clerk begrudgingly allowed us breakfast.....which was very subpar even for continental (warning...never book for hot breakfast, everything is prepackaged). This may not be true during hometown college events. Lots of other hotels at this location to chose from.

No breakfast
If you book through Expedia breakfast is not included. This hotel is just a place to sleep when nothing better is available. There was not a remote for the tv.

Poor Quality Rooms and Service
Clerk on duty was not friendly, did as little as she had to, no smile, had to ask what the room number was. Asked about the breakfast, was told it was not included when room was purchased online as the pricing was so much less online. Sink had cracks, bathroom floor near walls was filthy. Sheets did not fit bed and were bunched up, poorly made. Furniture was nicked all over. Soap, etc. was of very poor quality, towels were extremely rough.

A Hidden Gem
We have stopped at many motels going to Florida but found none as good as the Southern Lodge. Friendly employees, excellent breakfast (for a motel) and accomodations were clean. Stayed 2 nights (going to and coming back from Florida) and each stay was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Not happy
Room was not cleaned very well. Went to use the top drawer and found a pair of dirty / smelly socks. When we advised at front desk they just said we will mark that down. I obviously stared to wonder how the rest of the cleaning was done. Very cursory I am sure. The only good point it was close to highway.

Breakfast or no breakfast
Compared to similarly priced hotels in the area I found this one to be good value. The builidings are obviously old & some of the renovations have been really sloppy but generally its clean & well kept. No specific complaints. Note that this hotel like so many others offers an 'included' breakfast - unless you book through a 3rd party online such as Hotels.com - what's with that? This little discrepancy is certainly not clear on line.
