Red Roof Inn - accommodation in Bennettsville

On arrival the woman at the desk told me that I couldn't check in until 4pm, despite my confirmation and the sign of the check-in desk both specifying a 3pm check-in. It took some insistence and some eye-rolling on her part and a phone call to a manager somewhere else before she would allow me a room. They say they provide housekeeping only every third day, which is fine but during my six day stay the only time housekeeping came to my room was the morning after I arrived, when a woman wouldn't stop loudly banging on my door while I was on a phone call, despite my repeatedly telling her I had just arrived and didn't yet need housekeeping. At no point were the sheets or towels changed. The lock on the door appeared to have been kicked in at least once and didn't close flush, and the walls seem to be made of paper, which isn't great because the motel is situated directly next to a road seemingly popular with the local engine tuning and drag racing contingent. One of the two bath towels was threadbare and had black stains on it, and the pillows had stains as well. The ironing board was filthy enough that there's no way I'd put clean clothes on it, which didn't matter because the iron in the room had plastic melted to the bottom plate and was unusable anyway. The amenities listed included a pool but it was both clothed and filthy despite it being in the high 80s during my stay. I will not be staying here again.

The room was clean and spacious. Plenty of parking - but they do charge $6 - which isn’t horrible just a little odd for the location and type of parking. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is excellent. Brand new facility. Rooms were clean and the breakfast was excellent with good coffee. Staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated a few minutes from I95 in what appears to be safe area. The only negative, the area with most of the restaurants is 20 minutes away.
