A waffle maker is available, but fruit is absent on some days.

The fitness room contains functional equipment, though it may not be cleaned daily. No disinfectant wipes are provided. The pool is open when weather permits and is kept clean. An outdoor seating area with a barbecue grill is available. The property also offers board games and puzzles for entertainment.

The hotel is in a safe area close to the interstate, making it ideal for transit and road trips. It is within walking distance to several restaurants (Texas Roadhouse, Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse, Tokyo Grill, Carrabba's, Yamato Steakhouse) via a parking lot route, as there is no continuous sidewalk. Attractions such as Riverbanks Zoo & Garden (14 km), the South Carolina State Museum (16 km), and Lake Murray (about a 12-minute drive) are nearby. Boating is available in the surrounding area. Access by car is straightforward, but the location is not walkable for general errands.
