Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Sumter2013March Sumter Stay - 19Mar13
First off, the rooms were in good clean condition. All the extras (shower, TV, heat/air) all worked well. This would have been an ideal stay in all areas with the exception of one incident. One evening, I was cleaning up after work and before I left for dinner. The room phone rang, which I ignored since I was showering and figured I would return message after I was out. Then there was a knock on the door, and I called out "busy", then the door started rattling and someone was trying to get into the room and wouldn't stop. Fortunately, I had bolted the door so noone could enter. I quickly exited the shower and through on some cloths and went out to see who it was. No-one was there but my room was just outside of the receptionist, so I went and asked him if something was wrong. I explained to him what happened and he said that they had notified me they were going to be working on the elevator on the other side of the wall and it might be noisy and since I didn't answer the phone, they were knocking to notify me. I understand that but there was no need for them to try to force their way into the room. When asked this the receptionist said that it was the owner who had tried to get into my room but did not tell me why he needed into my locked room. I asked to speak to the owner or the manger, and I was told they had just left right after the incident (conveniently I thought). I asked to speak to either one at a later time and neither has returned my call yet (one week later). This was a huge concern to my privacy and security at the hotel. I normally prefer Priority Club hotels and will be travelling to the same location multiple times throughout the year and I will strongly look at other hotel options.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel is located right beside an Outback Steak House which is very convenient.

I stay at this location 6 to 8 times a month. I always request a wake up call, but I never receive one. Front desk staff doesn't seem to have it together. Disappointing.

Nice enough property, but walls are paper thin. I was in romm 110 and could hear the guy in 108 talking in his sleep.

We were impressed at the level of comfort found at this hotel. Room size, pool size, dining room .... size does matter, and coupled with friendly and knowledgeable staff our stay was truly enjoyable. We generally stay in Florence while passing along the I-95 corridor, but as a lark did a little sidetrack and were glad we did. Our next trip will include a similar path.

If this wasn't the only Priority Club hotel in Sumter I wouldn't ever stay here again. The room smell like feet and 3 of the last 5 times I have stay here the room has been dirty upon check-in. I will consider stay in Columbia in the future and driving the extra distance.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Illinoisguy Good location
The Sumter, SC, Holiday Inn Express is located close to several restaurants and very close to downtown Sumter. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was consistently fresh and well maintained. The room I stayed in was was average for this type of hotel. Everything worked and it was clean. I had no problems during my 11 night stay.
