We saw the advertisement for this hotel on a billboard on the I-95 featuring room rates at $45.00 per night. We thought this was a great price for a Ramada. Well, as the saying goes "you get what you pay for" and in this case A LOT LESS! On check in the clerk told us we could not get the $45.00 rate unless we had a coupon, so we had to pay $69.00 -- what a bait and switch! $69.00 was still somewhat reasonable for this chain..... until we went to our room. The pictures shown for this hotel on the website are clearly the very best the hotel has to offer, and do not represent the remaining 99% of this hotel -- I've stayed at Motel 6s that have outshone this hotel! The room was very outdated in décor, and it was not very clean having stains on the carpets and the walls; the bathroom was falling apart and the bed sheets didn't cover the dirty mattress. Also, things seemed to be biting us all night long -- not sure if they were mosquitoes or bed bugs.
This hotel is extremely LOUD. You can hear people's T.V.s in adjoining rooms and slamming doors from the neighbours above and next to you.
In the morning we took advantage of the complimentary hot breakfast. It was utterly disgusting. The waffles were stale and tasted weird, the scrambled eggs were grey, and the bacon was undoubtedly saved from previous days service. There were a few rotting bananas and apples, and stale bagels and crumpets available to completely ruin any appetite that you may have left. And most appalling of all the coffee was weak and foul. What a great start to my travel day!!!
We did manage to get the necessary coupon, when we stepped out for dinner that night; and after a lot of haggling we got the $45.00 rate.
There are a lot of other hotels/motels to choose from in Florence, SC. Please take heed of the ratings of this hotel here on TripAdvisor and consider spending your money for a nights stay elsewhere.
