Robert Burke

Very clean and good rest stop.

Barbara Ollis Greene

very clean .. need more picnic tables in the shade.

Michelle g

Clean rest stop, plenty of walking room for a stretch. Was even greated coming in by staff. Looks like they had a lot of travel information too for travelers if you needed it. Always like stopping here for a stretch! Staff was busy cleaning up and not standing around.

Very clean, well lit & it looks pretty too... To travelers, even though it looks closed at night, try the side entrance to the right of the front door, it'll be open, & you'll find a set of vrnding machines there too. Loved this stop. Thank you to all who work so hard to keep it so clean, well lit & pretty too. It's uncommon to find a nicely painted bathroom in any stop, so a big THANKS TO THE STATE & ALL WORKERS AT THIS VISITING CENTER!

Judith Meledandri

Very attractive building. However, some walkway signage would help visitors know which door to enter for travel info. And restrooms.

Reviewer First

Clean bathrooms and modern facility. The vending machines have phone payments as well

Luke Bo

Great place under construction for renovations...but quiet light up and police always near by ...

Shandra Ivery Tyus

Very clean; vending machines;well lit. Frt was closed had to walk all the way around the bldg...not safe to do at night, as I did not see any security.

Tina Weikel

A lovely place to to stop on my way to Florida.

Green Ghost

The best place I've seen since my drive through Georgia. They have a information desk. And in it you can find a guild to how to get your hunting permits in south Carolina and what's in season. I think this is due to the fact that they know you more then likely came from Florida and drove through the whole state, which is all under construct, for no reason. Not one person or machine seen, all at 35miles per hour due to the construction. So the state normally takes an hour to drive through and it took use and millions of others almost 3 hours. By then you want to destroy something. Hence why you can find this seasonal hunter's guild at the info desk.

Robert Prescott

After holding your pee all the way thru Georgia, this place is a god-send. It's just north of the Georgia line. New, clean, roomy. Surprising how well they handle so many desperate travelers. Can't say enough good things about this stop. If only South Carolina would 6-lane I95, it'd be perfect.

Edwin Thomas Sr

It's a beautiful place and very very clean mr clean would be jealous hahaha

Johnathan Tarr

Looked nice but they shut down the lobby at 5 pm.

John Mullins

Looks new. Restrooms nice and clean.

Arturo Garcia

Did a quick stop here to take some pictures, bathroom break & loaded up on some snacks. The bathrooms are clean and so is the parking lot. Keep it up!

Mary Wolfer

Very nice and clean nice people to guide and help you , but we wanted suvineirs and they did not have them. We would like souvenirs

James Garman

A very welcoming place with the open well-lit interior. Restrooms smelled fresh and appeared clean. A staff member was willing to momentarily close the vending machine she was stocking so I could purchase a bottle of tea. A small act of kindness like that makes a huge difference in one’s experience. I recommend stopping here if a break from driving is required.

david mahurin

Nice place stop a freshen up. And it seemed clean

Arthur Hurlburt

Great welcome center. Plenty of room to stretch your legs.

Karmen_ Karmen

So far this is the best Rest area clean and nice bathroom

Owen Simiele

Excellent welcome stop that really sets the bar for welcome stops entering a state. LOTS of information divided by the area your going to. Huge Google map interactive display to look at your route. Well done SC!!

Rick Carroll

Amazingly clean restrooms. Great literature on the walls about local attractions.

Jerimy Clift

Cleanest rest area I've ever visited. Brochures and pamphlets galore.

Mike Purdy

The roads on I-95 they are in need of some serious repairs. Pretty state but not so pretty to drive through.

Olivia Hiemenz

Nice welcome center with lots of room for the kids and dogs to get some stretching space. Safe friendly and clean.

Rebecca Hackney

Very nice place. Had lots of pamplets for things to do. Very clean. Easy to enter and exit.

Morgan leigh

Everything was nice, looked good, bathrooms were nice other than smelling like wet dog.

Joseph Swope

Been here twice in the evening. Looks like a nice place by day, with a wide attractive space with lots of information about South Carolina. At night the doors are closed and you have to walk around back, to some pretty standard bathrooms and a few vending machines. Not as inviting. There is some grassy space out front with a couple of pavilions if you want to stretch your legs. Both times I went it was pretty busy

Cheryl Pierce

Nice and repect ful people

Ronald Combs

Place nice and clean. Nice job.

Functionmaster .

Clean astetics with the usual panflits showcasing the tourest destinations.

Taylor Sulva

Clean bathrooms located here. Great place to let your dog stretch their legs.

Jim Randazzo

Hey, it's a welcome center. You stop in to use the restrooms, take a little break, or get some information about the state you're now in. They do a fine job of providing that for you. The seniors who staff the information counter are friendly and very helpful. Hats off to them for their time and effort...

natisha miller

Very nice and clean perfect place to take a mini break when driving a distance.

Budd Nash

Clean restrooms and all facilities worked properly.

Peter Derry

Nice clean rest stop but I did have to ask an attendant to unlock the family bathroom. A little odd but maybe they just reserve them for families but there is no sign about it.

Angel Vick

Nice rest area. Could use a bit more cleaning but it wasn't awful.

Jessica Starcher

You have to walk all the way around the building after 5p if you want to use the bathroom. I would be nice to have a sign about this visible on the far side of the building that you can see from a vehicle for those that are mobility impaired.

Don Pierce

Nice rest area and welcome center, now if someone could get SC roads repaired everything would be fine. SC interstate roads are horrible

Caitlins Chrismas Channel

The cleanest welcome center i've ever been to. Living in south carolina I am proud of that

Elvira Rahming

Nice rest stop. Alot parking space, restrooms spacious and clean. And free WiFi

Andrea Potts

Always very clean and helpful attendants, but would love it better if you had a vendor who offered drink and food vs a vending machine

Brenda Reidnauer

Nice and clean... Picnic tables around area, also benches and lots of places to walk dogs. Huge welcome area closed at night but there's access to restrooms and vending machine.. Good Stop

Linda Digiannantonio

A nice clean place for a pit stop. Has lots of info on state and you can get maps and directions.

Kayde

Very clean, and employees there for assistance. Wonderful place to stop for a break.

Scott

Now I see where all my tax dollars are going! This is a huge beautiful brand new Welcome Center it looks like a million dollars but I'm sure it cost us a whole lot more. Not sure it's necessary but again a great place to stop. It was extremely busy and there were lines for the bathroom but it has free wi-fi which my daughter loves and plenty of tourist information which I'm sure keeps the local economy humming.

Rebecca Shaw

Super-clean! Nice atmosphere; helpful staff. Will stop again.

360 x360vr

Nice big welcoming foyer with tall ceilings and multiple entrances. Clean washrooms. Bright and open with friendly staff and plenty of parking. Architecture is well designed with massive laminated support beams holding up joists of the roof deck which is exposed wood. Lots of glass give it an airy feel. Pepsi products vending machines. Has the usual pamphlets for maps and attractions. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great for pit stop and intro into South Carolina.

Joe Leopold

Clean, well stocked, easy in and out. Friendly staff.

CHRISTINE HOWARD

Excellent customer service. Very clean bathroomd and grounds! I loved it...

Khyle Williams

Very helpful with what they did know and when they didn't know something they referred you elsewhere.

Judie - Accounting Judie

Very clean. Well stocked with information about the different areas of South Carolina. Some drink and snack machines, but all of them contained only unhealthy options.

Roxie Hull

Stop here every trip to GA. The best welcoming center

Donald Machen

One of the most peaceful stops ever large wooded picnic area, minimal traffic over the hour break I took to relax!

This rest stop is the one of the "best" Tourist Center's. It has brochures it seems from every place in South Carolina. It is pristine. The employees are very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful state reststop. Very large and clean restrooms. Super friendly and helpful as well as knowledgeable staff.

Antonie Cuerrier

Huge rest area with restrooms and vending machines available 24h. The parking is huge and welcomes long trailers and really big RVs. The facilities are clean and modern. Security all day makes it a great stop for a quick rest during a night drive. Also features a pet area and outdoor picnic shelters with tables.

Brian McCullough

One of the best state information centers I have seen anywhere!

Nicholas Shabdue

Great dumpin and urine pots.

Joe Mac

The welcome center was closed. Had to use the side door. Did you know SC has higher car registration taxes than GA or FL combined? Did you know the home property tax is higher than GA or FL combined? Did you know SC does not make the top 10 states to retire in but GA and FL do.

Beth Carle

We travel quite a bit & this is the nicest welcome center I've seen. Clean, warm, staffed, decorated for Christmas. Vending machines inside, all stocked & working. Tons of organized info. Clean, well functioning & stocked restrooms. Nice landscaping. Great place!

Bill Mettler

Staffed for customer service for tourists information and help. Clean restrooms. Presents a positive feeling for the state.

Very well maintained. For a SC rest area. One of the nicest in the state

Kris Solomon

There's nothing that lets you know that you have to walk ALL THE WAY AROUND TO THE BACK OF THE BUILDING IN THE DARK, BY YOURSELF! NOT COOL!

Edward

A very nice 9/11 memorial by the building

Donald Bohm

Good rest stop. Clean restrooms. Great place to stop and take a nap.

john schenna

Rest rooms were the cleanest I've ever seen.

Jaset Garcia

Beautifully redone South Carolina welcome center northbound I-95. We've made a lot of trips through here and even stopped while they were redoing the center. It turned out beautiful. I love the large wooden benches they have outside and the modern yet slight rustic aesthetic to this welcome center. The attendants there during business hours and friendly and very helpful. We enjoy the large, well lit parking spaces. Also there are a select few spots in the back parking where there are no lamps overhead, which helps tremendously with those necessary mid trip naps to keep the family safe. If you arrive after hours I would go around to the farthest read side of the main building as the main lobby will be closed and you can not walk through. You will have to walk around the whole building to the rest room and vending entrance if you park close to the entrance of the rest area. I don't know if anyone still plays pokémon go, but this rest area has to spinning spots and a gym. Super interesting to see the people coming through there. All around a great facility and worth a quick stop if you are traveling through during business hours and need info.

Glenn Williams

Real nice rest stop! Very clean! The staff is always very friendly and helpful! First rest stop "south of the border".

Jeffrey Kirsch

Very nice, as always. Bright, inviting, very helpful staff. Plenty of well organized travel literature, clean bathrooms. A nice break from the road.

Dj Brooks

Very nice rest area. Plenty of restroom area and pretty clean. Good choices for drink/snack replenishments. Large welcome area with plenty of info/brochures for current and future trip planning. Staff was very nice and accommodating.

First Last

I'd go 5 but the 5pm closing of main entrance near handicapped parking necessitated a long walk. No apparent reason for this burden. Ample parking easy on off.pretty place with good dog walking spot.

Tina Archambault

Great people. I lost money in the vending machines twice. Wouldnt you know, a few weeks after I got home, they sent it back to me. It was also a very clean rest area.

Dennis Primeaux

Clean restrooms and very nice staff.

Funky Fresh

Terrible stop. Looks great from the road, but terribly inconvenient. Front doors were locked just before 5pm forcing everyone to walk around to the back of the building. Parking is dat away from the doors & most of the vending machines were out of order. I will avoid this place in the future. Poor representation of South Carolina I'm afraid :(

Luis Miguel Lorenzo

It's a nice place to stop and get information on the state. Of course it is similar to many State Welcome Centers but that doest change the fact that they are always welcome sites when traveling.

Vinesh Nair

Very well kitted information center. Almost looks like a student center at a large university. Lots of parking, lots of space, clean restrooms. That makes for a great entry into South Carolina.

La Wanda Smith

Great place to rest from traveling. New facility.

Jay Jay

Been to a lot of Rest Stop Welcome Centers... This one is as clean as they come. BEAUTIFUL scenery and small history lessons all over. We stopped to stretch our legs and stayed over an hour.

Grace Jones

Super clean! Vending had a wide enough variety of drinks. And bathrooms were spacious.

Mikaella Mercier

Well lit. Clean bathroom facilities. Snack machines. Plenty of parking. There is also a visitors center open during daytime hours.

jwizzo

Very clean and nice to stop by while your traveling

Clifton Goodwin

Free Wi-Fi and lots of good parking

Stewart Moore

I heard Rush Limbaugh talkin about how the taxpayers are giving 1.8 trillion dollars in corporate socialism, but the interstate system in South Carolina has only two lanes each way and is terribly overcrowded. Sean Hannity said it was socialism for the rich. Could that be true?

Barry I

clean and staff is nice. but all n all just a place to take a leak.

Tami McBryde

Clean restrooms, variety in snack area, helpful attendants in and around welcome station. Good ac, shaded seating areas. Ample parking. Easy on and off highway. Win-win!

K S Williams

So modern and clean. Great people and very helpful. Appreciate all questions answered. Will visit again.

Jeri Sherfy

Clean and better than stopping at a gas station.

Michael Howard

I am very quick to pull off the road when I feel sleepy and have stopped here many times for rest. keep in mind that in many areas in the south driving when you are very tired is considered or equal to DUI or driving while impaired, so stop and rest if you are fatigued, you will be a lot safer after a good rest and avoid being arrested for impaired driving.

Shawn Parker

Nice drive-through the roads need to be worked on.

Terry Priester

It was new and fresh only problem the bathrooms are far from the front door this is put the close to front

Jeff Brown

Very nice motel. Was so happy to find it after a long day of driving. The included full buffet breakfast was such a nice treat

Robert Mckitrick

Very nice, one of the nicest I have ever been. They have note pads, pens,pencils, recharge stations, courtesy helpers, snack machines, clean restrooms, I think even courtesy phones for emergencies. Very room inside.

Margaret Webb

Very clean. Not one of their employees spoke to us nor anyone around us. I am used to much friendlier employees at Welcome Centers.

Patrick Dempsey

It was very nice the employees

Nick Davis

Very nice and clean area. Good picnic area, trucks area approximately fits 50 trucks at least.

Andy Lohaus

Looks like a nice facility, but it's only open 9-5. Restrooms are open all the time, just have to use rear entrance. Could use more covered family eating areas.

daniel roberson

Nice rest area. Was very busy when we were there on a saturday in July on the way to hilton head

Deborah Barron Brown

One of the nicest rest stops I have been to. Lots of shade, scattered picnic tables. Wide sidewalks for a good stretch. Looks like new facility.

Paul Williamson

Nice compared to other states but not necessarily the nicest.

Tony Blanco

Love this welcome centre. Clean and neat and so helpful assistants.

Tyler Blake

Super clean, and a safe place to stop if you are worried about that kind of thing. We passed this place all the time, as we made our way to and from Georgia a couple times a month. but this was the first time we've stopped. Now I regret not stopping before. it was one of the nicer welcome centers we've been to. Make sure you say hello to the attendant, they like it when you say "hi".

Virginia Tucker

One of the most nicest rest areas I have ever been in. Helpful staff. Clean restrooms. Variety of snacks available in several vending machines.

M Lynn Rowe

The bathrooms were very clean and the staff was extremely helpful. There was a restaurant being advertised on the monitors (S.N.O.B.), which looked like they had amazing food, but it was a little too far off of our path for us to go

Rebecca Boncheck

Clean, safe road stop. Picnic areas and dog walk area available. Friendly greeters at information desk and lots of brochures and coupons available to help you plan your SC trip. Plenty of parking. Vending machine available. Easy on and off of I-95. Just over the border from GA, great stop to get out of traffic for a bit.

Elaine JD

Probably the nicest welcome Center on I-95!

Fully staffed with knowledgeable, friendly people. Lots of pertinent material. Also very clean.

Carl Wolff

Our State of South Carolina rest area must be one of the nicest in any state!! The grounds are well kept, bathrooms are very clean and plenty of room to get out and stretch those legs. I'm proud to be a South Carolinian my entire life! cew3rd Folly Beach, SC ps..You should have seen the guest taking pictures n selfies at the main sign on the property by the benches and tables. Nice job to All on the Team that keeps our rest area Top of the Line!! ✌

The cleanest, most modern rest stop I've seen in over 40 states visted!

Craig Yoho

SOOO much better than what passed for a welcome center years ago. Very friendly, helpful, and informative people here.

Very nice rest area! Very clean and smelled great. Picnic tables and sheds built over them makes a great place to chill in the shade or have a little snack before hitting the road.

April Zieroff

Not very clean. At least it wasn't when we stopped to use the restrooms. Stay on sidewalks and beware of grass, no one seems to pick up their dogs poo either.

Mildred Pedato

Nice welcome center and rest area.

miles Eckard

We travel throughout the world and have never felt more unwelcome. It seemed as if we were bothering the gentleman. We asked for two maps since we have an RV and hold our family vacation (20+) at myrtle beach for the last 25yrs.We did get one 2016 (3yr old) map. Please move Myrtle Beach to friendly North Carolina.

Adriana McCrindle

Very clean, staff really friendly and helpful.

Operator Tiny Dancer

Very nice with lots of maps to help find things to do.
