Paid $68.00 and let me tell you not worthy of the Howard Johnson name. Microwave oven are underneath the sink counters, the rooms are very small and cramp, hardly any room to move around, had a strong damp smell, and the air conditioning unit was making a loud noise. We asked to be moved which they did, however, the next... more

I have read many negative reviews of Howard Johnson hotels, however, since I did try one out at Santee SC on my trip to Fl from PA, and I was positively impressed, I tried this one on the way back to PA. Wrong choice. To start, the room we were assigned did not open with the key. After trying numerous... more

The water looks like chocolate milk, the staff is extremely rude, the so called continental breakfast was horrible, the beds were the worst I've ever slept in, we had plenty of bed bug bites. The golf was great, the stay in this crack spa was the worst. I'm calling Golf Santee and asking them why they even factor this joint... more

We are senior citizen snow birds stopping off of Rt 95 going north. The motel seemed fine upon arrival. We were in Room 126 . The lady who checking us in was polite. The room seemed fine, with nice bedding and clean bath. But at 3:30 AM my husband awoke because of bugs crawling all over him. We suffered many... more

This hotel has substandard conditions even the lobby was rank!!! The owners are rude and nasty they talk to their staff like dogs I was there for a few days and the male owner was taking the housekeepers tips out of the rooms(even the one that I left for the housekeepers) I don't believe that those women even got their... more

After an 8 hour drive we were put into a room. Turned on the water to give our pet a drink and the water was orange. Apparently, the night before there was a water line break. We were moved to a different room, but the water was the same. I ran the water out of the sink and shower for... more

Went down to Santee on a golf trip (probably the same as some of the other reviewers). What can I say .... its a bed in a room. Its not overly clean, altho it wasn't a disaster. The bed itself was fine as were the sheets most importantly. The room itself smelled kind of funky, but the toilet was about... more

Stayed here on 6/24/07 on the way from NC to FL. I have to agree with most of the reviews and say that HJ/Santee is a good value for the money. Don't expect a 5-star resort, but for $50 it was everything you could ask for. It is a one-story building, so parking was right at the door which made... more
