"The SureStay Hotel by Best Western in Manning, SC, was an inexpensive option for a quick stay while traveling on I-95. It was our first stay at a SureStay. We were somewhat surprised that the hotel actually requires and takes a $100 refundable deposit, rather than just putting a hold on one's credit card; that's not a very consumer-friendly policy, but it didn't cause us any problems. The accessible room was clean and comfortable. (We had not reserved an accessible room but we understand the hotel was full that night, so that may just have been the last room available when we checked in.) We particularly liked the large no-barrier shower. The breakfast was adequate but not fantastic. I guess we might stay again if it works out that the location is right on a trip to Florida. One highlight of the stay had nothing to do with the hotel but, rather, was the wonderful Mexican restaurant almost right next door. The staff was welcoming and efficient; the food was excellent; and the atmosphere was great!"

"I loved the location..very good spot near everything. I was a little disappointed in the morning breakfast. Cereal, and coffee and fruit was not what was expecting. Definitely the first time seeing any hotel breakfast. It made it look cheap and it wasn't thought out. When you think of breakfast you would think something warm eggs bacon bagels toast something.Not cold cereal "

"Staff is nice except for Jason who was rude and not helpful when I informed him that our hotel room door was open when we returned to the room that evening. I probably won't stay here again due to security issues. I had the Do Not Disturb on the door and they still made the beds and left the door open."

"Clean room"

"I would not stay here! The bathroom stink like piss! When the door closed, there was a slight crack you could see the light from the outside coming in. The door for joining room didn’t close tight. Walls are thin. "

"I tried to add a person to the hotel room for a week, and the property still gave the room away to someone else. It was nothing but a hassle; I will never book there again."

"There was poop smeared on the wall in the bathroom and there were roaches in the room. I have never been so disturbed and disgusted with a hotel room in my life. Safe to say I will never stay there again."

"READ ME: For me and my wife, this was an extremely pleasant discovery and experience. We like different, so while this place can be made workable (which I will tell you how to do), keep in mind that this might not be your cup of tea on a business trip where stardardization may have been the better choice. If you want the best of the old and the new and you depend on electronics as I do, bring at least 2 multi-outlet extension cords and maybe even a power strip or two (I do that anyway, and in this case I used them all). If you need an ice machine to pack a lot of ice to keep coolers cold between or during excursions or trip legs, plan on stopping somewhere to get a bag or two of ice as needed. And that stop may, this is also the only place I've ever seen where you'll eat breakfast using ornate real silver utensils on china plates and drinking orange juicr from crystal goblets. And whike the distance from the parking area to the entrance isn’t excessive, its also a landscaped terrain followed by significant stairs, so if you don't pack light, like maybe one carryon per person, a folding wagon might be the ticket to get anything larger or heavier than that to the building and up the stairs to your room without help (and not because the owners won't offer you help, they will and they are the nicest and most helpful folks you can imagine, but) staying here is all about the experience rather than just a place to rest and get refreshed before an o'dark:30 roll call in the AM."

"Keep up the good service"
