Stayed one night. Motel was clean, quiet, and staff was exceeptional. Breakfast was above average for a motel in this price range. Would stay there again.
"much nicer rooms than you'd think from the outside"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 7, 2013
When we first drove up, I was a bit dismayed, as was my daughter. But inside, the rooms are spacious, bright, nicely decorated and clean. Yes, it's an older hotel without many amenities. But the staff was fine, very attentive and friendly and there's a nice family style restaurant right across the street that specializes in pizza and Greek food. Recommend the stuffed grape leaves! Also, prices in Orangeburg are VERY high, and this was the most reasonable one. We liked it fine.

"Nothing notable"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 12, 2013
Overall condition not much better than motels at nearly half the price. Room appeared to be clean and neatly kept; however, there was animal hair and dirt along the wall on the left side of the bed. Not comforting.

THE TOILET DID NOT WORK, THE STOPPER IN THE SINK WAS STUCK DOWN SO YOU COULD NOT USE THE SINK. WITH THESE THINGS BE BROKEN WE COULD NOT ENJOY OUR STAY.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Although I rated highly, my issues were you nor the hotel didn't offer a military discount, the pool was closed at 8:0 PM, and the room didn't have a luggage rack for my 81 yr. old mother.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Worst Hotel Ever"
The tub was dirty when we arrived. I don't understand why management thinks it is ok to give guest stained and dingy towels to use. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable. The air conditioner stopped working in the middle of the night. Keep in mind this was summer in SC. I will never stay at this Howard Johnson ever again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"roughing it"
we had to make our own breakfast, and my waffle kept sticking to the iron.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Pool was closed but staff told us it was open. Stayed two nights and no one cleaned our room or emptied trash. Part of facility was closed. Flowers and outside furniture needed care.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Maid did not come to emply trash or clean room, only to give us clean towels. Sign said pool was closed but the staff told us it was open. One of the mail staff was rude but most of them were nice..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stay somewhere else"
No towels on arrival. Coffee pot and sink area had not been cleaned. Front desk people were not knowledgeable of area and couldn't even direct us to the local lake that is huge & spans 5 counties.They couldn't speak English well and/or they couldn't understand it. Was nothing like the way it was advertised. I would not recommend this hotel. BAHGenuine Expedia guest review
"bad hotel"
the room was small. And nothing worked ,the t.v. did not work or the microwave. just was not pleased with the room at all.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Staff was sooo RUDE!!!"
I had booked this hotel online to stay overnight while moving. My family had been travelling for 450 miles already by time we arrived at this hotel. The staff gave me the wrong directions to locate the hotel in town! Upon arrival the girl at the desk was VERY rude! I requested a non-smoking room & was given a smoking room. She put us in a room so far […] away from everything (it was across the street!). This hotel is not situated on it's property very well at all. The girl at the desk was extremely nasty!, not helpful or kind or welcoming; in any way! I We left immediately. It was upsetting to be treated that way after such a long drive! My kids witnessed all of it. We were just so tired but the girl at the desk just was AWFUL & the room was dirty & had bugs! My family did not stay, we went down the street to Best Western! MUCH BETTER!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"what a durty room"
I do not complain about hotel rooms, in fact this is the first time I am writing this but 1) the last person who was in the room must have had a cat because there was cat hair all over the floor and curtains.--i hope my family and i do not have any fleas or ticks!!! 2) the tv did not work but that was ok because we were so tired we all feel asleep right […] away--i did check for beds for bed bugs in the mattress 3) we went to put some water in the refrigator to get it cold but there was left over pizza still in there. The refrigator had been shut off and the the food smelled !!!! I did complain to the front desk but they did not care "they only work there" Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overall Stay"
We recently stayed for one night and had no problems. The room was clean and comfortable, hotel rate was good and front office staff was courteous.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good place for an overnight stay :)"
This hotel had all you need for a comfortable night's stay. We needed extra pillows, and the hotel staff was fast and courteous in getting us what we needed. Breakfast is normal- dry cereals, waffle maker, toast, and pastries. Very convenient to several bar and grills, and grocery stores. Overall a good night spent.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"More than adequate"
We usually stay at the Best Western but that was booked. This was just as nice at a good rate. We were on our way to Florida, and there is nothing like a regular motel with nice amenitiies--microwave, fridge, hairdryer, iron..you name it. It was clean, close to I-95 and the Captains Quarters for dinner. Got to have the shrimp & grits.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"BEWARE OF BED BUGS!!"
I stopped at this motel on my way from VA to FL just to get a few hours of sleep. I checked in at 2am and went to the room. The room felt musty, dingy and old. Lighbulbs were burnt out, room was small, cob webs everywhere, run down a/c unit, and the sheets had stains on them, yet a sign in the office says they charge $80 for stained sheets but yet they […] dont seem to replace them. I felt uneasy leaving my car in the parking lot as it felt unsafe. I went to bed and hardly slept because of the fact that i felt gross and uneasy being there. When I woke up in the morning i noticed fresh blood on the sheets. Upon furtehr investigation I saw tons of bugs crawling all over the bed and myself! BED BUGS ATE ME ALL NIGHT! I was so grossed out i showered right away and got my bags out of there! I went to the front desk to demand a refund. He claimed they have never had a bed bug problem yet if you look on the bed bug registery online you will see another complaint (i didnt know of this registery before i stayed there). This tells me they are neglecting this very serious issue! The clerk refused to call his bosses saying they were on a plane (how convienet). I ended up calling Expedia who then called the clerk and got me a full refund. Whatever you do, dont stay here unless you want to end up as a midnight feast! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"good value for price"
very good value for the price i paid. includes breakfast and free wifiGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not horrible, but not great."
The location was very convenient, right off I95 & a good point if driving south to Florida from far up north. The price was a bargain. The breakfast was simple but good. The room was mediocre. You get what you paid for. The towels were stained. Sheets / Blankets had holes in them. The room was a bit stale. So its "ok" for an overnight stop but I completely […] suggest to bring your own pillows, towels and even sheets.... otherwise, spend a little more and book a room elsewhere.

"Clean but otherwise average rooms for the price"
One room had a broken down bed. I was not aware of this until after checkout. Several rooms had trouble regulating the temp. My room was one of them. Too hot then too cold. Had to adjist ac all noght. After being given a "special low rate". I was disappointed to find rooms were being rented at an even lower rateGenuine Expedia guest review
"Average but not good for boats"
The room was good. Beds were good. A little out dated (tv). Wifi not good. Not good for boats, small parking lots, makes it tough to maneuver, not alot of plug ins. But overall its a nice place for the money.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a good value hotel. Clean rooms. Good breakfast. Not a fancy hotel . If you want a clean hotel with a good value. This is the place for you.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Howard Johnson in Santee, SC"
Right off I95 so was a good stop for us. The price was great, and the young girl who checked us in was very nice and accomodating. Nice breakfast was included. Would recommend the hotel, but Santee has gone downhill since the outlet stores have moved out. Clark's is a great restaurant nearby for southern food. We always try to eat there at least once […] when passing through. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Thanksgiving Stay in SC"
My Hotel stay, as always, very comfortable & the staff were very much pleasant & approachable, if there were any problems. Would suggest, a few issues. DVD access on all TV's in rooms; might need to upgrade TV & channel/Cable services; New furniture. Room prices are always affordable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Howard Johnson in Santee, SC - low budget room"
This HoJo reminded me of the oldest Holiday Inn I ever stayed in as a child. But it did have a microwave and small refrigerator. TV volume was very low, even at max setting. It offers the typical breakfast for a roadside motel, wireless, and a desktop PC/printer in the business center. Not much to get excited about at this motel but it was minimally […] adequate for a night and the price was quite low. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Clean, comfortable, reasonably priced. Nothing special but I was not looking for special at the time. Continental breakfast is always hit or miss--this one was fair. The coffee was good. And hot.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great stay"
Great stay...clean room, great service, would stay again. Great rate for stay and pet friendlyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just as Pictured"
I was a little hesitant about staying here at first since I had never stayed at Howard Johnson before. It was conveniently located right off the interstate. The surrounding area was nice with many restaurants nearby. The room was clean and did not smell of smoke as some places do. The staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was in front of the rooms […] and was no problem. Location is good for anyone not staying in the downtown Orangeburg area. Room was cleaned daily as expected. Lots of restaurants around, and plenty to do within walking distance. Overall I think this hotel is very good for the star rating. Breakfast was average, but what do you expect. I enjoyed breakfast here daily, but would recommend skipping the egg. I would stay here again. Stayed October 2011, traveled on leisure Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean, Simple, Outdated"
The Hotel was good. The rooms were clean. The bathroom was clean. There was granite on the counter and desk tops. The faucets were a bit loose and the plumbing could use some updating. The tv was old. The AC was either Strong and Cold or off. No in between. The breakfast was not good. One parking spot per room. The front desk receptionist was adequate […] but not welcoming. You basically get a little more than what you pay for. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"hojo lite"
hotel did not have our reservation so we had to double pay and then get a refund tho i didn't get any proof that the desk had done so. the room looked like they were imitating a more expensive hotel by simply making a list of the items ie microwave, fridge, table and placing them haphazardly in the room. the microwave & fridge were plugged into extension […] cords. same was true at breakfast which was terrible tang instead of oj, watery waffle batter that only half worked. front desk was unattended for 30 min. at 7:30 am. with lobby internet turned off. it has been years since i stayed at a howard johnsons and this did not inspire me to go back when there are other alternative for the same price.
