8.2/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)
I really did like my stay here and wouldn’t mind staying again but the only thing that threw me off was the breakfast. It was small. If you’re expecting freshly made food then this isn’t it. There’s cereal, packages small muffins, some oatmeal, a waffle maker, some bread and a few small frozen sausage and biscuits. But other than that staff was super nice. Ac was a little quiet but that’s alright. Shower was a nice size!

Ft. Jackson is really beautiful. I attended basic training and advanced individual training and returned again 25 years ago to reclassify. I only got to visit one of the museums there and drive around the base to see what was familiar. I went to the basic trainee museum and the Ft. Jackson cemetery which was absolutely gorgeous. Ft. Jackson is near and dear to my heart because it's where my Army career began.

We came to a military graduation, if attending, I definitely recommend getting to the gate no less than 1 hour before the start time. We did and when we got the field and the bleachers, there was almost no seats left to find! If you want a pick of what you think would be the best seats, come at least 1.5-2 hrs before the start time.
