Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Linny9385 It was just okay...
Personally, we have stayed in this hotel before about 6 times on our drive from Pennsylvania to Florida. I have never had a problem before this last trip down! We got to our room at about 9:30pm after being on the road for 12 hours so obviously we were exhausted. We were placed on the 2nd floor. All night from 10pm to at least 1am, I had to listen to the people above my head bump and thump and walk and pound and every other imaginable noise. I literally had to go out to the sleeper couch, but when I went to pull out the bed part, there were no sheets or anything. I decided just to sleep on the actual couch, but it was about 2 feet too short for because I am a tall girl. Let me just tell you that it was the worst sleep I ever had in my life. Their sound proofing is atrocious! I also would have gotten a better nights sleep had the sleeper bed had sheets, but I was not going to sleep on just a yucky mattress lol. I have told many of my family and friends about this hotel since we all enjoy going to Florida for some sunshine, but I am not sure that I will recommend this hotel again or stay here myself. I tried calling down to the office to complain around midnight, but the youngish girl who checked us in didn't answer so I gave up. I just wanted to get the heck out of there the next day. You'll be fine if you are on the 3rd floor or you have people who actually sleep above your head, but if not, then expect a horrible night sleep!

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Scary Horrible room & service
I look for Holiday Inn Express hotels when traveling but I may not anymore and I definitely won't stay at this specific hotel anymore. I checked in with my mom and 2 children. When we go to looking around our room, there was blood splattered all over the bathroom counter and floor. It was on the pillow which shoudl have been seen if and when the bed clothes were changed and it was in the closet. When I went to front desk to show and tell them, they acted like it was no bid deal and just gave us another room. It was late so we didn't want to bother with changing hotels that night but we cancelled our reservation for the 2nd night and checked out that morning. Upon checkout, I asked to speak to a manager and was told that the lady at the front could just help me. When I told her the sitation, she just knocked some off our my bill but still didn't really seem concerned. My worry was what could have happened in that room. And what made me the worst upset was that my children had been in there touching stuff. It was very obvious that this room had not been cleaned.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by TiredAgain Poor Maintenance
We arrived late after travelling all day .Our first task was to set up another motel for the next night. We finally booked another H.I.E. on line . At this point we thought everything was good. However we showered and found the taps were leaking all over the top of the sink. Then went to set the alarm and found it was broken and very old. So we set a wake up call at the front desk. We tried to sleep ,but found it warm in the room and so tried to set the Air conditioner to a lower temp. Hoping it would work better , we threw off the covers and finally got to sleep . We awoke at 2.30 am with sweat running down our backs. I checked the air conditioner and found it blowing out hot air even though it was set on Cooling for 67 degrees. There would be a louder "BRRRRRT" every 10 mins .and then a BR displaying on the display . I assumed this meant the Breaker had cut off the compressor from running .We had no choice but to get up after 4 hrs and hit the road. The Girl at the front desk had the nerve to say " Why didn't you let us Know earlier." Need less to say we Wont be using Holiday Inn ever again, even though we found the next motel we booked was OK.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 Room not maintained well
Phone by bed didn't work; I finally found the cord which was frayed at both ends and wouldn't stay connected to the phone, Shower did not work at all! That was the worst!!! Lights over the bed were unplugged, I fixed the cord. We got a wake up call at 5:00 AM. which we did not ask for. We stayed here before with a great experience, This was a terrible experience! Staff reduced our bill which was acceptable under the circumstances. Breakfast was fine. Beds are comfortable. But big disappointment in this hotel .

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Unhappyinorangeburg Attractive lobby but old beds and pillows
This hotel is among the higher priced Holiday Inn Express Hotels, but not worth the money. The lobby looks nice, but that is where the comfort ended. We had requested top floor when the reservation was made months ago, and although I realize this cannot be guaranteed, it is almost always honored. Well, the check-in clerk was "sorry about that" and put the softball team overhead. Between the saggy beds and overhead noise, it was not a pleasant experience. We had planned to spend two nights but checked out after one night and moved on to another very nice Holiday Inn Express in Savannah, GA.

Got tired driving and made an unplanned stop at Orangeburg. Very nice folks at desk, honored coupon from welcome center flyer. Pool and spa open 24 hours, place was clean and quiet. Breakfast was the usual HIE. Nice room, very clean.
Good choice.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by bearcat22 Disappointed in this Holiday Inn Express!
I was disappointed with this Holiday Inn Express. It was late, and we needed to get some rest from our traveling. I was confident this hotel was a good choice. The front desk was very crowded at check-in, but the young lady was alone. She did her best, and was very sweet. Our room was not good. Something was wrong with the hvac. It never stopped running, and we were so hot in the morning. Our room carpet was dirty, and so was the bathroom floor. When I went to take a shower, the plunger was stuck in the
on position. I woke up very quickly, when the cold water hit my head..not a very pleasant way to start the day! The fellow taking care of the breakfast area was loud for that early in the morning. Needless to say, I was not impressed with this HI Express.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Teenangel Unpleasant Stay at HI Orangeburg
Not the best HI Express location. Was not greeted as gold member, but was handed paper bag with water and snacks without comment at check-in. Room itself was fine. Train awakened us during the night - just behind hotel and quite loud. The worst part was the breakfast - the attendant was WAY too loud and talkative for early morning. I appreciate that he was being friendly, but he was 'too much.' The pancake machine was not working and when I asked him about it, he said it was a pain to deal with and he hadn't had the patience to work on it yet #it was about 7:30am I believe#. I told him that was what I wanted to eat, but he didn't offer to set it up. As we were leaving the hotel after breakfast and about an hour later it was set up. And he was still yelling, literally, hello to everyone. the stay was just not a pleasant experience.

This was the first Holiday Inn Express that we did not find the desk staff overly helpful or friendly.. Room seemed crowded. It was okay, but not what we were used to in a Holiday Inn Express.

I love Holiday Inn Express but my only complaint is that there is never any free electrical sockets near the bed. When the lamps and alarm clocks are plugged in, I can't plug in anything else unless I want to be in the dark or if I turn on a light across the room.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Rdawg Bed and Tub condition
We were disappointed in the overall feel of the room. The mattress for one bed was ripped open but covered well by the sheet and in the tub area there was mildew around the area where it is normally caulked and on the ceiling. The channels for sliding closets were dirty. Looked like foyer and halls were being upgraded but room need some TLC.

This hotel is very good. Looked new, whether it is new or just very well maintained I don't know. Room was very room, with a living room and sleeping room. Very clean. Great staff,
Very easy to get on and off the interstate. Gas station right next door along with a couple of restaurants.
