We booked this place at the last minute and it was cheap, so we weren't expecting anything great. Turned out to be far worse than expected.

It all started at check in: The lady who checked us in seemed very disinterested in us. She never cracked a smile, didn't say hello, didn't say "have a nice stay". In fact, she never even made eye contact with us. Ok, no biggie as long as the room is nice.

Once we drove around back to our room, we noticed what looked like migrant workers all over the place, and some others who looked like plain thugs. We didn't feel very safe.

The room. Where do I start? First off, the floor was covered in what looked like pool table felt, and it had mysterious white stains all over it. The cable s----. Half the channels didn't come in, and the advertised free HBO wasn't available. The shower went from hot to cold to hot to cold, etc. But the biggest, most disgusting problem was the sink. In the drain was a wad of short curly black hairs, and a couple pieces of what looked like food. Basically the only reason we stayed was because we didn't have much choice. I was VERY reluctant to crawl in that bed. After everything, it seemed like I felt little bugs crawling on me in the bed. Maybe there were, or maybe I was just creeped out because of everything else. Then we were awakened all night long by the other residents, who were yelling and running up and down the stairs and walkway.

Checkout: only reason we went in was to complain. The desk guy, just like the lady at check in, was indifferent toward us. He grabbed a piece of paper to write a note for the manager. We're sure this paper is balled up in a trash can at this point (not to mention he misspelled "hair" on the note).

Bottom line: sleep in your car if this place is your only option. But if you must stay here, bring an assortment of cleaning supplies, earplugs, your own bedding, a gun, and a bullet proof vest.

Stayed at the Masters Inn, Columbia, Knox-Abbott for one night on the way to the Masters tournament. It served its purpose. It was clean and the rooms were ok. It needs some updating but for a one night stay it worked out. Wouldn't recommend it for longer than one night. Probably would stay again.

Stayed July 2004.

Great For the Money !!!!!!!

Will stay again.

This was an economy 1-night stop-over on the way to Charleston. We were not expecting much - we were wrong. The room was nice, clean, and we felt very safe (2 women traveling alone). The pool was HUGE - bigger than the one at the 3-star hotel we stayed at in Charleston. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The cable reception wasn't great but there could be worse things. Be warned - there is no shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom so bring your own. We will certainly stay again!
