Hotels with Parking in Florence

This was our second time staying at this property. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our from was spotless and the bathroom was clean, modern, and up to date with no rust or mold and good useful lighting. The room had a refrigerator. Microwave, and coffee maker and also lots of outlets for recharging. WiFi was good and easy. Excellent breakfast. In fact, best hotel/motel sausage I've had. Kudos to super nice front desk staff Audrey and to very friendly breakfast staff Lacy. Lots of nearby restaurants for food of all kinds, several within a short safe walk. Nearby gas. Easy access to I-95. We'll be back.

To start, Hilton really needs to update the photos of this property on their website. While the photos on the website show very old and dated guest rooms, the actual rooms are significantly more modern than what’s pictured online. The rooms have newer furniture and fixtures overall, though the bathroom and wall decor (mirror / art) appear untouched. On the other hand, the common areas remain pretty dated, with early-mid ‘00s curtains and wallpaper; it’s a bit of a hodgepodge throughout the property. The hotel is centrally located with dining options like Mellow Mushroom, Chili’s, and Waffle House nearby. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. We had one minor maintenance issue when we first checked in (bathroom door was locked) and the staff was very apologetic about it. Our guest room was fine for a quick overnight trip - we booked one of the “larger” queen rooms and appreciated the extra space it offered. The bathroom was very tiny though functional - definitely didn’t gain any square footage in the bathroom with the larger room. The only thing it felt like the room lacked was overhead lighting, as it only had a couple lamps and was pretty dark as a result. We would probably wait until the property is fully renovated to stay again, but would keep it in mind for the future.

Kind of a grungy hotel. The first room we went to had a muddy puddle on the bathroom floor. We requested someone to come up with a mop, but there was no one available so we had to gather up all of our things and move to another room. The second room was right next to the lobby, across from the pool and next to the elevator. Amazingly it was not too noisy except for around midnight when someone was laughing and carrying on loudly in the lobby. That was annoying. The bed was as hard as a rock. I tossed and turned all night. The room was clean. Come to find out you only get half as many points when staying at Home2 Suites as you do when you stay at Hampton Inn. Also the breakfast at Home2 Suites is not as good. The breakfast at this particular place was pretty bad. The bagels had a “produced on“ date of July 15. The date we were there was September 6. Those bagels were produced about two months prior. I asked the kitchen attendant about it and she said they had been kept in the freezer. They were hard and tasteless. The rest of the breakfast buffet was unappealing. We opted for cereal. The coffee was good. The night before I went to have a cup of hot tea and the hot water in the lobby was lukewarm. That was disappointing. I think I would try the regular Hampton Inn the next time I stay in Florence.

This was the second time we stayed here. The electric plugs on the desk did not work, the room was good. The bathroom had some issues. No shower curtain so had to go to the front desk to get one. They did offer to come and install but it was easy so I did it. The shower was dirty. The tile about two feet from the floor had mold and scum all over. The electric sock by the sink (used for hair dryer) was not attached to the wall (Safety hazzard). The room (1st floor) backed up to the kitchen. At 3:30AM the kitchen crew began and that was the last minute we slept. The crew was noisy, banging equipment, voices loud, etc.) that room should not be used except for storage. As we left the room to continue our trip home to Florida, the manager happened to be outside out door. I brought him into the room and he was not pleased. Next time I will ask for a room on the second floor not near the kitchen.

This hotel has been renovated and is located in downtown Florence. It looks like they are trying to revitalize the area. The rooms are very humid, but there are dehumidifiers in each room. The cleaning staff should check and empty the bins when they clean the rooms. The bin in our room was full when we checked into our room at 2:30 PM. It was full again by 7 AM the next morning! The breakfast buffet, although not elaborate, but was delicious. The scrambled eggs stayed hot and the creamy grits were the best I've ever eaten at a hotel breakfast. Service was a little slow, it seemed that only 1 server was working at the time we were there. They also did not start serving breakfast until 7:30 AM, a little later than most hotel.

It was late when we rolled in, and we booked ahead via Priceline. I don’t see Howard Johnson’s around anymore, and since it’s owned by Wyndham I thought that it’s been rebranded and would be a good place to stay. What a disappointment! We had a ground floor room where we could park outside our door. Once inside we immediately noticed that the bathroom floor wasn’t as clean as expected, but we found cockroaches around the desk and coffee maker. It was too late to search out different accommodations so we took our luggage back out to the car, kept only what we needed for the night and made sure it was sealed up. I checked for bed bugs and didn’t find any so we slept (not soundly), got up early, showered, shook our clothes and got out of there. We did report this to the front desk, and told them that we left several cockroaches that we killed on a piece of paper on the desk in the room. They were apologetic but we didn’t stick around to haggle about it, we just left. With that experience, I would never stay at a Howard Johnson’s again.

Stayed here for a night on a road trip. Not sure why people are so critical of a hotel that was extremely reasonable. Room was large, clean, loved the shower vs tub. Staff late at night was friendly. Breakfast in the morning was your typical… eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurt, cereals, waffles, toast, muffins, hash browns. When we were there the pool was closed for maintenance so if you desire for a swim call first. Location was perfect being right off 95 and there are many places to eat both fast food and eat in nearby. Would highly recommend if you are driving by and need a good nights rest.

Ericka Moore has been awesome at getting me anything I need, and she greets me every time I walk past the desk. The ladies that make the breakfast in the morning are friendly and speak to every person that comes to eat in the morning. I love all of the staff here and will be back.

Our experience at Staybridge Suites in Florence, SC was absolutely perfect. Our one bedroom suite was larger than we expected with a very nice kitchen and utensils. We loved the large refrigerator with a freezer which we used to keep all our travel perishables either frozen or perfectly refrigerated as we were taking those to our beach rental in Hilton Head the following day. The suite boasts two large TVs with ample stations to watch or use with one of your favorite streaming apps. The bed was quite comfortable. The free breakfast buffet offered many options from which to choose. But the best part was the friendliness of all the staff we encountered. Next time we want to break up our trip and stay in Florence, SC, we will certainly book again with Staybridge Suites.
