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.

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.

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.

I left my hair dryer at home and didn't have one in the room, but was told I could buy one at walmart up the street, at midnight. No towels in room, or bath mat for shower, no back up toilet paper and AC kept tripping the GFCI in bot of our rooms. We were asked if we wanted to change rooms at 1AM?? It was suggested we were idiots and didnt realize the unit cuts off when it reaches the temp, but I can assure you it was Not 68 in our room!! Issues we had were blamed on housekeeping and no compensation was offered for our circumstances. Probably will be my 1st and last stay here!! There was a Baymont before we arrived at this one, but I had already made my reservations unknowingly.
