Overall Ratings & Reviews Bar-Mel Inn

The host, Peter was outstanding. He was best part of entire stay. Beds were confortable. Shower was barely ok. kinda noisy because so close totalking loudly highway. First night stay was bad. 3 truck loads of mexican construction workers stayed outside their rooms talking loudly until 1AM. No phones in room.

Dirty, broken down and worn out everything. The AC clattered a death rattle and I barely slept - woke at 3:30 to the noise. Needs basic maintenance and a renovation. No top sheet, had to go back and ask manager for it. He launched into an explanation.

Enjoyed my stay

Owner was great. Rooms were clean. Area was safe

Staff very helpful

Ordered a double queen over a week in advance, called two days before arrival to verify the reservation. During the call i told him we would be 930 or possibly later, was told no problem. Arrived around 10 PM, was told our reservation had been canceled since we didn't arrive by 10PM. Had to turn around and find another room that night. Won't book again.

Manager had trouble finding my reservation, shower had low pressure and AC would not get cold enough

The proprietor was very nice and made sure the room was to my liking during check in.

I was amazed to find adjustable beds in this quaint motel. I could see the updates and improvements that were installed into this unassuming small town location. Pleasantly surprised.

The only complaint that I really have is it smells like smoke and thy didn’t change the bed linen or give us clean towels and wash clothes each day

Had a resveration price, he did not honor, increased the cost $15.00 per nite. Room was never cleaned, two towels for two people. Carpet is over 30 years old. Was told I get a &20.00 refund on checking out, never happen. Next time I’ll drive the 30 miles to the next hotel. If you looking for a really poor hotel, this is it. The owner can hardly speak English. Really do not under any reason stay there

Was like going back to my youth when motels were clean but no frills.

You have to remember this is a mom and pop place and so for the price point this was a good place. We were there for the bluegrass festival and our other options were more expensive or much farther away. As such the place is in need of an update and did provide the necessities. It met our needs. McCormick is just a few miles down the road and we can recommend the Little Italy restaurant and the Huddle House.

Left the property at 1am and had to drive home. Next door was people sitting outside my door talking loudly. People coming and going. Terrible experience.

The rooms are very spacious. Is the first time I’ve ever seen a hotel where the head of the bed adjust so you could sit up and read a book in bed without needing too many pillows. The staff of the property was extremely professional and polite and went out of the way to help you, this is the best spot to stay at go to Graves Mountain rock swap and dig Since it’s only 20 minutes away from the site, which is straight down the same road the hotels on.

The Bel-Mar is a quaint throwback to a different time with a genuinely caring owner. Off the beaten path and nestled near the Sumter National Forest it's a peaceful place to stay. It's well cared for inn with spacious rooms that's a must stay if you're in the area.

This property is under new ownership and management. They have updated a lot but still needs more. The floors are uneven, the AC doesn't smell the greatest but not bad, no clock, no hand towels, no Kleenex, shower needs updated and the bottom of the tub is very slippery when it gets wet. There are signs that say that so that's a plus. The beds are perfect! Nice and comfy and the linens are so nice and plush! The manager is super nice and the grounds are clean. Would I stay again? Well heck ya! All in all it is a great place to stay, just a few updates and that takes time and money. If you like Mexican food, eat at the restaurant just down from the motel. So good!

Older property, in need of some attention. Friendly manager. Couple miles out of town. Was a welcome rest after a long day on the road

New owner who is very friendly and making repairs to a property that was run down. Spacious room, bed was comfortable and the room very clean. Large selection of tv channels. Was better than I expected. Convenient and a reasonably priced if playing the savannah lakes golf courses.

My daughters stayed and were happy with the facility.
