Lodging in St George or Walterboro SC

[lundve]

So we decided to drive this year instead of fly. Since our youngest needs to pay for a seat and we just can't find flight prices we like I am taking a deep breath and going for it. Luckily we live just south of Richmond, VA so we miss all the hassle of traffic issues in Baltimore and DC.

Google maps claims it is approximately a 12 hour drive. We had pondered doing 8 hours and 4 hours arriving midday Sunday our check in day. Instead we have now decided to leave the afternoon prior and doing 6 hours and 6 hours arriving outside Disney late Saturday so that we can check in as early as possible and hit the parks first thing on Sunday morning.

We found a great rate for our large party at the Caribe Royale near WDW for the night before but now I need a relatively current recommendation for overnight lodging for the St George or Walterboro exits in SC. I am looking to for relatively cheap, clean and a continential breakfast would be a plus.

Anyone?

Check out the I95 exit guide...exitguide.com as well as tripadvisor.com. That should give you some good ideas.

Have a great trip!

Sounds like you're doing what we did in June. We live a little north of Richmond in Fredericksbug, VA. We left on saturday afternoon about 4:30 pm and drove to Lumberton (is that NC or SC?) and stayed at a Holiday Inn. That room cost us $89 and didn't include breakfast, but they had a Denny's attached and kids ate free.

We also stayed at Caribe Royale on sunday night before our stay at AKL began. We left Lumberton about 10:30 am and got there in time to check in and then go get dinner. The hotel was fine for what it cost..and it did include breakfast. It literally only took a few minutes to drive to AKL on monday morning.

We spent a full day in the parks on our last day...left at 6:30 pm and drove to Kingsland, GA..got there about 10 pm. We stayed at a brand new LaQuinta (it had only been open 3 months). That room was only $75 and included breakfast the next morning. I don't remember the exit but the phone number is 912-882-8010.There was also a brand new Hilton brand hotel right next door (I think it was a Hampton Inn). We slept in the next morning and I don't remember exactly what time we left....we got home about 9 pm that night.

Hope this helps!
