Rooms are nice could use a coffee maker, hand towels, two trash cans, works are nice as well, not so quite though, they jam music out all night above us
Great staff always polite and friendly I enjoy staying at masters in motel good room rates and has a nice swimming pool just a nice place fr
The front desk service was very nice and rooms were cleaned and maintained amazingly. The staff was also kind and always completed what I asked for. 10/10 experience. Lived here for 3 weeks.
I stay here all the time. I come all the time and stay for travel work. The lady at the front desk on Monday April 29th at 5 refused to give me a key or contact the owner for me. I love this place and don’t want to stop coming here bc of one bad experience but if i have to then so be it. She’s telling me i can’t get the managers number and i can’t see him until 9 am so what i sleep in my car?
My husband and I recently stayed at Masters Inn in Cayce SC. It was a fair price for the area. The rooms were clean and neat. The office manager was amazing and really came through for a family needing 3 rooms for a few weeks. Atlanta you are truly my hero. After a house fire one would be absolutely misplaced but you and your wonderful house keeping staff took VERY good care of all 6 of us and our 7 service dogs. Huge thanks to you and your entire house keeping staff. You all deserve wings. Thank you Cheryl Taylor August 2024
Didn't see any bed bugs or roaches and we checked in late when they're usually wide awake not saying there was none as we passed out almost immediately after check in. Room is pricey for a motel but all of them here are. Room was clean and spacious and perfect for stopping when you were planning on driving through but sleep made you pull over.
Great hotel for the money. BJ is awesome and most of the staff are nice . Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the noise from building 2 after dark. I highly recommend you get a room in the front building if you want peace and quiet.
Rooms are ok. I think they're doing some renovations, so it'll be much better in a while I think, while will earn this place it's one missing star. The service was very friendly, and the only problem with the location is the holes on the road going to this place. Reasonable price though for a pretty good hotel that's bound to get even better soon. I'll stay there again.
Off Interstate 26, this straightforward budget motel is 3 miles from Columbia Metropolitan Airport, and 8 miles from the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden.
