Motel off I-95 in South Carolina

[Dream Theater]

If this should be in another place, please move it. I was not sure exactly where to post it.

That said, We are looking for a nice motel to stay at overnight in S. Carolina on our drive down to WDW. We usually stop between exit 164 (Florence) and Exit 98 (Santee). We usually stay at a motel in Santee, however our last stay was pretty bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trip Advisor, etc. are really not of any help as most reviews vary alot. I trust people here more anyway.

Thanks in advance!

we usually stay at the econo lodge walterboro. its at exit 53. its not a 5-star hotel or anything, but its not too bad.

but hot coals don't have Pedro. Wish I could help you, but we always drive straight down......since we don't have as long of a trip as you do from Jersey.

Thanks for the info. I would love to make it that far south. But this will be the first time travelling with our 17 monnth old twin boys & dog, so they will kind of dictate how far south I make it.:lol:

I know this isn't just off I-95 but what about the Disney resort on Hilton Head Island?

I've stayed there and it's beautiful. My room was like a rustic cottage on the inside. It was so warm and comfortable and it's in a beautiful area on the water with boat launches and hammocks and boardwalks.

Might not be what you're looking for as a "stop-over" hotel but it's really fantastic

Theres a Hampton Inn at Walterboro and is very good and clean. Its located within sight of the exit. This is where we stay if we do a overnighter. I usually get up really early and drive straight there. From Va we usually arrive around 3 in the afternoon just as the room is ready.

HH island is really a good ways from I-95. Not bad if you are sight seeing but just to stop and sleep its too far for me.

We stay at the Hampton Inn in Santee, always clean and quiet. Good breakfast bar. :slurp:

We drive usually a few times a year, and we ALWAYS stay at the Holiday Inn Express @ exit 170 just before Florence, SC...........nice, McDOnalds and Wendys right next store, and that is it. Only a couple of years old....we just went down in early April, and my brother wanted to save some money after he found out it was about $100 for a room, so he got back on 95, went to the next exit, I will say he was driving my Escalade, and it was about 12:30am, and there were some "characters" saying a whole lot of crap as he was walking to his $40 per night hotel room, not looking like a good situation, he got back in the car, got his $40 back, and came back to the Holiday Inn.........I highly recommend!

I would give you an option but we usually just drive on through.
