South of the Border, Hamer

Been stopping here at South of the Border for 40 years or so.. when ever on I95.. it is a must do. I measure life events by photos taken outside and about South of the Border. So what.. not the cleanest, not the best.. but it is what it is.. a Great American Roadside Curiosity.

where is the health department, cannot believe this place is in america

Take it for what it's worth...IT'S A REST STOP...We stop every time we drive to Florida and use the facilities, take some pictures, check out the gift shop, maybe a drink or a snack and gas if we need it...and that's about it. Who in their right mind would consider staying here? Place is a good for a break and and that's it.Filthy, sleezy and disgusting, but the kids love the 'coming' signs and the big neon lights.

They should spend some of their advertising money to fix up the place!

The whole place seems a little run down. I can't speak for the motel or campground but can give thumbs up for the stores. They were neat. The restaurant was uninviting. Since we were hungry, we ate there anyway. The burrito was big but was full of mystery meat and other unknown things. I also had a bowl of chili. Picture tomato soup, day old, with beans and meat thrown in it. Gross! My daughther said her burger was one of the worst she's ever had. BARF! We are not picky eaters but couldn't finish what we had. Needless to say, I had to hit the bathroom withing 15 minutes. There were probably 6-8 stalls on one end. I was only able to find a half roll of TP. Most the stalls were nasty. The whole place didn't give us a warm and fuzzy feeling. I worried about my laptop and GPS unit the whole time we were there. I'm sure this place was nice in it's day but it's very run down and they really need to do some serious renovations and clean up.

We stopped only for gas and the restooms. I have never encountered filthier bathrroms in this country! Toilets overflowing, toilet paper all over the floor. I made a complaint the the S.C. Governors office - but i do not know if he is too busy with his latest mistress to deal with this. Do your self a favor - drive an extra couple miles and get out of thie State!

I stopped at one in the morning, desperate tired from driving all day, I was only in the room for 1 and 1/2 hours before something starting eating me alive under the sheets, I went the the desk and told the woman I was going to have to leave because I was getting chewed up, and she says, "oh I was afraid of that". What in the world????? Well anyway she did not give me any of my $60.00 back even though she had an idea, that the room was disgusting! So I left and went to Comfort Inn in Florence which was nice and comfortable. Please drive the extra distance and do not stay here.

I have been going to Flordia for years and have never stopped .This time we thought we would stop and look around .Bathrooms very dirty employees driving around doing nothing to clean up the place This place is falling apart and needs a complete make over I guess Pedros day has come and went I do not think there is much hope for him now

We always stoped at the south of the border as a kid and it was fun and everything was clean. I stoped in while going home from fla and the Bathrooms are Nasty! It looks like a place where a hooker would go to get a pice of Ass and it smelled the workers walked in the womens room Male worker while you were going pee. Writting all over the walls. This is not a place that i would take children it looks and feels like a little hore shop. The gift shops are all run down the little area they have for the kids is all run down and looks verry dangours. I cannot understand why it looks like this due to all the money that they spend on the signs. This place also looks like it is a little drug ring. UNSAFE FOR CHILDREN I WOULD NOT STAY OR STOP IN AGAIN please put a inprovement in this trap so people woud stop again and have as much fun as i did as a kid in the 80's DO NOT STOP GO ON PAST If you have to pee and are going north go a little ways to the reast area going south also . The Flea Market what a joke also. A verry up set person.

We spent one night on our return trip to NJ. The place was horrible and in need of updating. Mold and fungus in bathroom and on ceiling tiles, dirty out of date curtins and furnishings. Bugs and smells. Bedspreads were deplorable. Pillows were shrunk from using a dryer. No room amenities were provided (coffee, dryer, etc.) They advertise on 95 going north and south for miles. Their brochure uses the word luxurious. It is so far from the opposite. This is the most disgusting motel/hotel I have ever stayed in. The outdoor surroundings were none the better. Spend your time and money elsewhere. I gave them a one to post this rating. They don't even deserve that
