Pretty thin walls, so when your upstairs neigbours are up, you're probably up as well. Very soft matresses, much to soft for my back.

Great location, very friendly staff and good food in the Restaurant. Great fishing!/

This location had a very homey feel. Everyone was so nice. There were many neighbors, but it was still very quiet. The restaurant had wonderful food! The homemade lemon cake was AMAZING!

Great location. A real coffee pot in the room. Rooms face a picnic area and water, variety of water fowl. Restaurant is good value with large portions. Staff is friendly and helpful. Love this place.

On our next visit we will be getting a kitchenette room for the queen size bed. My wife and are both over 6’ tall and we didn’t quite fit on the full size beds in the regular room.

Property was perfect for our needs! Having family close by, this gave us a place to relax in between visits. The property is clean and reasonably priced. We had made several stays in Santee which about half hour away from our family making back and forth meetings kind of long drives. Also in Santee the clean hotels are over priced and the affordable ones are just gross! At Bell’s you have the convenience of the store, gas, and diner on site which our family met us there on Saturday morning for breakfast. The buffet was great! I did read that they offered a grab and go breakfast at the store if you were in a rush to leave out. If you slow down and have a moment to yourselves then the water is just steps from your room to cast a line. Lots of birds and wildlife to view as well. If your pulling a boat well boat the launch is right there and pretty sure you could get a slip cheap with your stay! My wife and I will definitely be back. Also for the fact that our family could visit us there and we could cook out and fish on the lake side. It’s definitely worth trying out.

The view was beautiful. Gated after 6pm, felt very safe.

The door to our room was difficult to open... perhaps WD40 would solve the problem. The staff, Candy, was absolutely great at sorting out the door issue. Saddly, had the door problem presented itself after the office closed we would have been sleeping in the car. Perhaps a note on the outside of hotel room doors giving clients a number to call in the event of an emergency would be beneficial... just saying.

The location was great. Very pretty. Much better than staying in a hotel costing double the tarrif... to look at a car park. The lake and forest view at Bells Marina was fantastic.

Thank you Jud and Charlotte. You did an outstanding job. Gave us a new room for the second night because of loud neighbours. Thank you once more for that. Very clean and wonderful designed rooms. The location at the lake is so beautiful. Would like to give more than 10 points. Could recommmend Chrissy's Diner for dinner.

TV service was not great, but then we never asked for help with it. Basically we fished ate, and slept.

Our first time @Bell's, and we couldn't have been happier. Our room (all rooms) direct view of water, and beautifully kept grounds. Room decor was more like visiting someone home, rather than a "generic" hotel look. Beds were very comfortable. Hospitality?? Wow, Charlotte and Jud couldn't have be more Gracious. They called us by name each time they saw us. Everytime they passed us they would stop to be sure we didn't need anything additional for our room. They remembered it was my sister's birthday, and even though they were very busy with a special event, they took time to acknowledge her day with a cake and a song! The hotel is on Campground property, which was full, we enjoyed the people staying there and yet never felt our privacy was compromised. It is a gated campground (guests had a fob that automatically opened gate.) We made full use of the store, bait shop, check-in all at one site. Breakfast at Chrissy''s diner was convenient and yummy. All in all we decided Bell's is a hidden gem. We always travel with our Black Labrador, the extra pet fee was no surprise, a fee we accept gladly for a pet friendly accommodation. WiFi Hotspot worked great.

The internet wasn't working. We persevered.

We loved this one night stop on I95. It's just 15 minutes off the highway, in a natural setting on Lake Marion, great views from our room, birds everywhere, great fried catfish, very friendly to visitors of all kinds. It's not what I would call fancy, but everything was clean and good and working, especially the A/C, except the internet on the night we stayed, which I think was the entire area, not just Bells. Some of those roadside motels are real dumps despite their reviews, as we learned on the way north a month ago.. This place was cheaper than most, totally worth the extra 10 minutes drive, and totally worth the room rate.

Bathroom had a bad smell from septic system at times.

Location on the water was great. Easy access to ramp to put boat in the lake. Staff were friendly and helped with any problems we encountered.
