Overall it was okay. I wish it had a pool but that was my fault for not checking. The breakfast was good and it was clean but the staff wasn’t the most friendly. They were also having problems with the locks on all the rooms and we had to wait for someone to let us in every time we went back to the room. A nice location next to the Congaree River with a nice historical park.
