Loved the big soaking tub! Definitely was a draw for us. It was great after a long 7.5 hour drive even though it was a ways off I-95! Totally worth it! While we initially had a bit of confusion upon check in with the type of room booked, it was quickly sorted. There were a few niggling fine points that could be improved upon, the person at the desk upon checking out asked about things and assiduously took notes on the few items.

As I walked in I was so surprised by this beautiful hotel here in Hartsville…read more The staff here at the Mantissa is so friendly and nice. This hotel is well structured with a quaint historical feel. The rooms are huge and apartment like. Our suite was a delight with a full stylish kitchen even a table in the kitchen. It's very hard not to feel at home here. We enjoyed relaxing in the living room area with the cable TV. The bedroom was wonderful as well equipped with a sleep number bed. Oh what an experience. The bathroom is very beautiful and set to impress with all the modern touches to make you feel spoiled as well as welcomed. My experience here was far and beyond any expectations I could ever have for a small town like Hartsville, not that I don't expect small towns to have nice hotels however this one is way beyond like I said earlier. I'm already planning my next visit Hartsville visit and yes I'll be staying here again and again. You can't go wrong you will be very comfortable here at The Mantissa!

This hotels management is just sad and pathetic... online it says the pool will be open until 10Pm,…read moreoutside on BOTH signs it says 10PM, and i was told to get out of the pool at 8Pm because it was "closed"... then i went inside to ask why i was told the pool would be open until 10 if it was closed... I called twice before going down to see if the pool was open and no answer. The girl at the desk got upset with my factual statements and told me she wasn't "arguing" and walked away This place is sad, we chose this hotel for the pool as we arrived in town at 7:30Pm and then ate because we were aware the pool would've been open. We now leave tomorrow morning, so wow what a great stay and advertisement! Pathetic Hampton Inn!

The room wasn't a disaster and I slept alright, but it wasn't spotlessly clean either. I got a reasonably warm welcome, and given that I picked the cheapest hotel I could find in the region for a quick stay, I can't be too disappointed that it was in fact cheap. So I just say that there's some room for improvement on the basics.

Upon arrival I am told they are NOT going to honor the price that Walmart said I would be charged for and refused to discuss it anymore. Many of the hotel key card locks did not work. This resulted in many trips back to the front desk. This are smelled of mildew and mold. When entering the room the smell was horrible. Upon further inspection there was blood stains on the furniture, white stains on the back of the head boards, towels smelled like mildew, showering was disgusting, nothing was clean, dead GERMAN ROACHES all over the bathroom floor!!! Thank god I had cleaning products in my car! We all said it's one night we can get through it. After cleaning five disgusting rooms, two trips to dollar general to buy sheets and other linen. We still slept wrapped up in trash bags. Also the Law was called to arrest hookers who were on the premises smoking the green and working. Per them the owner allows this. I bet he sure does!!! We walked into the breakfast area and turned right around the food smelled up and spoiled. The coffee tasted like absolute dirt but what can you expect the rooms were disgusting!!! Attempted to address this with the Indian lady upfront. She wanted to part of the discussion!!! She acted like I was asking for a refund! I'm trying to inform you of a bunch of crap!!!! This place is overly due for an inspection!!!! I do not understand how they are still open!!!! Needless to say we spent money here to sleep in our cars because everything else was booked up!!!! Burn this place to the ground and start over!! Absolutely disgusting!!!

Supposed to be a nonsmoking property yet the lady next door on the ground floor pulled a chair out of her room and was smoking. Door didn't shut properly. Front desk said just slam it harder. Pushed a chair in front of the door for the night. Had to clip the blinds closed with a hair clip so we had some privacy. Linens were threadbare and one of the sheets had a few good sized holes. Also stained. Was woken up a few times by loud people in other rooms, also radio at 2:47 a.m. Other hotel in vicinity of Coker was filled up. While this place was cheap, rundown and dirty doesn't cut it. Staff was friendly enough. If we had another option, we wouldn't have stayed. As it was, one night was enough. No breakfast is offered but I wouldn't risk it anyway!

The only minor issue is that the dryer is out of order. A very nice place to stay!

Inside the lobby area is a small snack area for purchasing items and free coffee + tea area with sugar station and hot water. The check in process was extremely fast and friendly. The elevator is very much a ride at Universal Studios with a rocky screech landing. But safe overall is kinda funny tho but not. The hallways were clean and well kept. The room was very spacious and I liked that they had a shelf to put your key cards and luggage. They had spacious desks, lots of lighting throughout and a dual shade option to blackout the room for sleep. The coffee/tea bar has a Keurig maker, but leaked mini water bottles to make the coffee. The beds were comfy and the shower was good. The bathroom lighting is quite harsh but there is a motion censored nightlight. By the TV is a cool curved touch light with European outlets. There are plenty of outlets with both standard and USB outlets. The only tiny thing i would add is a charging pad on the counters in case ppl forget their chargers. TIP: Turn the knob all the way to the left to get to the hot water. Now let's talk breakfast - skip it if you like cool lackluster potatoes and eggs. The only saving grace is the coffee, instant oatmeal, oikos yogurt, and dry cereals. There are also a few places to eat up the road if bfast is important. TIP: If you go behind the breakfast area in the main lobby area, you can sit in a less crowded area near the business center. Check out was just as fast and easy. I've would definitely go here again!

The Inn at the Crossroads - Lake City, SC As the only…read moresit-down restaurant in town, the restaurant at The Inn at the Crossroads holds a special place in Lake City's dining scene. Tucked inside this boutique hotel, it's a welcoming space for date nights, business dinners, or whenever you want to impress someone with a little Southern charm and city-style polish. The food is good, with great appetizers that set the tone for the meal. The pasta dishes arrive hot and satisfying, and there's a full bar to pair your plate with a handcrafted cocktail or a glass of wine. The vibe? Chic yet comfortable--a nice break from the grab-and-go options around town. Their lunch specials used to be a real treat--tasty, creative, and affordable. Unfortunately, those have been paused again, which takes away a bit of the accessibility that once made it a go-to spot for locals on a lunch break. To be fair, while the meals are enjoyable and the space is lovely, the restaurant still seems to be finding its rhythm, especially when it comes to service times and consistent hours. That said, when it's open and operating smoothly, you're in for a good experience. All in all, it's a solid choice for a nice evening out in Lake City, with plenty of potential to become something even greater. We'll keep coming back--hoping each time they're a little closer to finding their groove.
