Super 8 by Wyndham Florence SC I-95 North / Hwy 76

I want to first state that everything everyone posted was true. But as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. In my instance, I was looking for a cheap weekend stay for the Darlington race. The good? 1. The price. 2. The woman at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. 3. McDonalds right there, Waffle House and a couple gas stations. So you won't starve. The bad? 1. Roaches (I think they were roaches) were in the bed when we got there. Saw them throughout the weekend here and there. 2. Room was very dirty. Towels were clean but smelled like feet. 3. The toilet seat was broken. 4. Strong **** smell from someone below us. 5. The pool is black. Like literally pitch black. And while I'm not 100% sure, I think some type of creature lives in it. The place appeared to be more a month to month rental than a normal hotel. One room had 5 cats that we could tell.so.guessing they were long term residents. Another had tons of potted plants hanging up. There were others there for the race who stated they had bugs, too, in their rooms. One couple left early to stay somewhere else. So it wasn't just us. The set up of the hotel is very bizarre in the odd numbered rooms are the only ones visible from the parking lot. If you are assigned an even numbered room, you have to walk into the courtyard to access the room. The area, itself, seems a bit sketchy but didn't have any issues during the weekend with anyone causing us problems. Two women were arguing at the McDonald's (and appeared like they were going to throw down) and we could hear it from our room but that was it for drama. This is a place that should be rented only if you are looking to stay cheap and don't mind what I posted above. I am giving it 3 only because of the woman at the front desk who was extremely polite and accommodating. I wish others were like her. But the rooms are dirty and things are what they are.

Reviews said good but it was far from good. AC barely worked, curtains did no block bright light from outside. floor was dirty. the room had been recently painted but poor job. ********** said there would breakfast but only if you like kids cereal and weak coffee. We were told nrw owners were trying ti fix it up but they have a l9ng way to go.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean, there was no cigarette smell, the beds were comfortable and the linens and towels were clean and fresh. If you're expecting a hotel that looks like a Hilton...this isn't the place for you. However, this hotel is better than most 2 star hotels and it's definitely better than what some of the other reviewers say about it. My only negative comment... don't count on more than coffee and bagels for breakfast.
