And then they increased my room fee to $70. I mentioned that I would start paying for the room online and was told that they could cancel the reservation if they chose to. I asked for the owners number and was told there wasn't a number and I would have to catch him if he happened to be at the motel. I'm pretty sure all of this is unethical as well as discrimination.

And they put me in a smoking room and they had more open. The room was nasty with paint chipped and holes in the walls. The reviews online are clearly bots. Disgusting. Should be 15$ rooms.

Checked in almost at 11pm. Their standard check out is 11am. It is raining for hours with no taxi and requested for late check out at 12pm but they declined saying each and every guest of their rooms will check in at 11am. Unbelievable! I have never been to any hotel that doesn't allow late check out even for 1 hour. And yet, this 'budget motel' in this very little town. The are 4 other hotels in town tho. Too bad this is the only one available from corporate booking. Why no value? Price is more than 2.5-3 stars (big) hotels, it doesn't justify for the room or service you get. Room is smelly, air cond is dirty that you can see a lot of dirt on the blower/vent itself, fridge is not cool even set to the coldest, no freezer in the fridge, microwave is rusty, only 1 clean bath towel the rest are 'dirty' (look almost grey and worn out almost like rugs), pillow is smaller than standards, blanket is stained, carpet is stained, electrical (power) points are at odd places (by the door or next to sink) the others doesn't work. No wifi in lobby/breakfast area. The counter and lobby is fully utilised by the family members like a house. Computer that served as business center has kid's youtube singalong and tricycle in the way. Dad (Sanjay) manages the front desk while daughter is sitting on his lap, and sometimes run around calling daddy n grandparents seated at the lobby. Maybe that is their home/living area. Front desk (Sanjay) could not even print a statement or receipt upon check out by saying we can only produce it after 2pm. And the check out time is 11 huh? It does not matter if premises are old, but it must be clean and operator must know how to manage/operate a hotel business professionally. Does it even meet the 'standard' of the franchise? Perhaps the mgmt should do un-announced checks often.

Worst accommodations I have ever stayed in! Run down and filthy are the nicest things we have to…read moresay about it. There were roaches and other bugs. The bedding hadn't been washed. They did bring us replacement comforters. The walls have drywall patches everywhere. The plumbing was leaking and falling out of the wall in some places. The towels were so thin and tiny. The toilets leaked. The smoke detector was hanging off the wall and obviously not working. The dust, dirt and grime were everywhere. The shower curtain in one of the 2 bedrooms we rented was so gross that we all chose to use the shower in the other bathroom. We had to let the water run for a while because it was brown and smelly. They shouldn't even be allowed to rent these out! One bedroom had no where to hang clothes and thw manager told us there was a closet in the living room are we could us. That closet did not have a light and had old furniture and other crap stocked up and no hanging rod. Unfortunately, everything I signed stated no refunds so we knew they would not give us our miney back. The day we checked in the lobby building didn't have electricity. They told my family member just stop back by tonight or in the morning. My family stopped by 3 times and sent the manager texts trying to meet up with her. After we returned from a funeral, the manager showed up yelling at my family member demanding payment. This was after she sent a text message with a photo of her credit card because the manager was not at the desk everytime we stopped by. She said we should have called to make arrangements to meet her. This was ludicrous! We also complained again about the gross accommodations and she said we should have spoke up earlier and she would have moved us. If they had something better why put us in that space to begin with? My family has lived in Columbia Lakes for over 50 years. We have used these cottages over the years but never will again. I have attached photos as proof!

There is one large outdoor grill on a nice patio that we ended up sharing with another family and it was fine. They will loan grilling equipment and and spices if you ask. It is worth mentioning the varied and delicious hot breakfast they serve. Generous portions served with care and a smile. The drive to Surfside beach is only 20 minutes, so it's a nice place to stay if the beach is in your plans. The only downside I can think of is the size of the pool. It's quite small. I look forward to more stays at this hidden gem. Kudos to management and staff. Y'all are doing things right!

One reason, Hilton drastically changed their Diamond level status requirement to lower status levels. Secondly, much of Hilton's properties, in particular Hampton properties, are showing much wear and tear.

The amount of money I have spent with Hilton properties and being a Honors member (with a traceable spends history), and a simple desk clerk is NOT empowered to provide me a complimentary bottle of water.....pathetic. Marriott should send Hilton a "thank you" card for my past, current and future Marriott business.

She does everything to make the stay comfortable, and memorable. She even enquired about our food preferences before we visited.

The lady at the front desk was so nice and was so horrified for me. We went to pick out clean sheets and we ended up going thru about 7 sets of sheets trying to find some that didn't have any stains on them. When we finally found some, she helped me make the bed. About 20 minutes later, one of the guys staying at the end of the row of rooms, complained he had BED BUGS! I went thru TripAdvisor to try to get my money back and all they did was call the manager of the "hotel" to try to get my money back. And their attitude about it was "I don't really care." The manager doesn't do refunds. Needless to say, I did not get my money back. The gate entrance to get into the Lakeview subdivision and the actual subdivision itself, is so nice. It's a beautiful and we'll kept community. Once you get to the hotel, there's guys with have their shirts off and blasting rap music. And they all mug you. Save your money and go somewhere else !
