The rooms has recently been remodeld and we're very nice. They offered great views of the lake and had everything you would need for a pleasant stay

Check-in is in the gas station before you pull in which is interesting but there was clear signage saying so. When we arrived, the lake is right in front of you and very pretty and you can see it clearly from the room. The room smelled really nice. However, there was A LOT of hair in the bathtub that was super gross and when my daughter tried to take a bath (after me washing it out), the stopper would not work and kept draining the water. Also the shower head leaked water pretty bad as I was running her bath so that was hard too as it got water everywhere. We were only there to sleep but we wouldn’t stay again. The neighbors were also crazy loud and kept us up past 1am when we had to be somewhere at 6am.

For a low end restaurant on premise, the food was quite good. The fried Catfish was perfect.

We had the most relaxing trip at Bells Marina & Resort. Our room was clean, and we loved that the decor wasn’t typical generic hotel prints. Beware of the beds! They are so comfortable they practically suck you in. Everything was convenient to our room. The lake was right outside our door, which couldn’t have pleased us more. The store, diner, and rental boats were right there. We had planned some hiking, and we discussed renting an electric boat. In the end, we opted to sit by the lake and have cookouts with all the wonderful people we met. The owner Jud was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The hotel is older, and you can hear the people above you. That wasn’t a problem for us, as we were hardly in our room, and the beds are too comfy to stay awake in. We can’t wait to get back to Bells Marina! Maybe next time we’ll get to that hiking, or maybe not.

The stay was amazing as always. The owners and staff are exceptional. They make you feel at home from the moment you check in. They are very responsive and care about all of the guests.
The facility is quiet and comfortable. Nature and peacefulness surround you at Bells Marina. There is no place like it around.

My stay was amazing. The property was very well maintained. The staff was awesome. Made me feel at home.
The room was excellent. The beds were extremely comfortable, the linens were very soft and clean.
The atmosphere was indescribable. There was a patio area that was so inviting. There was a swing and wind chimes next to the lake which made it easy to forget the day.

We booked this last minute as a one night stay on our way home. The property itself was okay. The email and instructions we were given ahead of time said to text them if you were going to arrive late. We texted and never got a response. So then we called and got voicemail. Either way when we got there we were still able to check in without issue having gotten there just before the deadline. We actually had a connecting room. The room with the queen and kitchenette was quaint and nicely decorated, but the sheets had stains on them. Also the freezer in the room had not been cleaned out and had fish bait in it. In the connecting room with two beds for the kids the beds were fine but the bathtub was really gross. It looked like someone had cleaned their fish in it and there was a lot of mildew/mold.
The walls are very very thin and the people in the room next to us were screaming at each other until late into the night. At least 11pm if not later. The owners provide single packages ear plugs presumably because of this issue, however I just left the tv on until I couldn't hear them carrying on anymore. Overall we may have considered it for a longer start in the future but given the reasons above we likely won't be back.

I would like to see it more boat friendly and the parking in front for the boat slips to be able to hook your boat up after you come back in....

Bell's Marina is a hidden gem. Family owned and off the beaten path, you can feel the community and the color in historic Eutawville. Every room has a inlet view off Lake Marion. The rooms are spotless and coffee and treats are provided.

This is a fisherman paradise! Great location right on the water. Clean rooms and comfortable beds with plenty hot water. I didn’t come to fish this time but I will be back 😇

We come every year to row in Santee - and this year tried out this place so we didn't have to drive half an hour to set in. The place was rustic and grasses kept clinging to our shoes. The price was amazing. Not much is open nearby.

Wasn’t what I expected. The staff was friendly and liked that there was a diner and gas station on the property. Overall a good stay. They had WiFi and a lot of good channels to watch. Only thing is I would’ve liked a smoother road to drive into to get to the back of the property to get to the hotel part of the property.

Went for a long weekend getaway for some fishing and relaxing, it’s a great location. Staff was very friendly and helpful when needed. Has a store and restaurant at the front of the campground, we stayed in the hotel which has been recently updated. Boat ramp was fine for my 16ft bass boat. There are gators in the water near Bells Marina so no swimming for you or your dog. Overall we had a great time, we would stay here again.

I recently stayed 2 nights at the Bells Island Marina Hotel. It was a great place to stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and the lake is beautiful. I felt safe and secure there. I highly recommend a visit there.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The boat dock had been repaired and was functional. The store was good and well stocked. Now for the restaurant!!! It was absolutely awful. We ate or should I say tried to eat one meal. I had country fried steak and could only eat maybe three bites. It was all gristle and tough. The Mac and cheese must have been left over from another day along with the mashed potatoes. Go shop, fish, stay, but don’t eat.

Nice spot close to a lake. We just needed a spot to stay while traveling but this place was very nice. Under new ownership and you can tell things are getting better and better with the building and grounds.

Beautiful waterfront setting. Hotel was clean, but soundproofing was lacking. We could hear every step and movement in the adjacent rooms

The staff at check in were great. I was provided with a key to a room that appeared as if it was still occupied with an unmade bed and used linens. Went to the office and they advised cleaning staff had an emergency and they were unaware that the room was not clean. Next room they gave me a a coffee maker with the previous guest used coffee grounds still in it….There was some confusion about whether the room was prepaid and they wanted to charge my CC for a balance they said was still due. I provided a copy of the receipt from hotels.com to prove paid in full.

Interesting place. A recently renovated 12 unit hotel in a motor home resort. Spacious room with a nice bath. Very quiet with a view of the lake from the window. The lake is about 50 feet away. A peaceful place to spend the night. Highly recommend.

We were there for a weekend fishing trip. Property is apparently being upgraded from years of neglect or non use. I don't know the background so that is just as it appeared to me. The motel has been upgraded and the room was very nice. It was clean. Towels were sufficient and good quality as was the bedding. Store was fully stocked & any needed bait was available. Restaurant was pretty good for burgers and such. The people were very friendly. Boat ramp and dock was functional, though the dock itself had suffered from neglect. However, it was being improved. I didn't like the parking arrangement for boat trailer/vehicle. You have to park a ways from the ramp which is kind of a pain when launching and loading. Overall a positive experience, I'd go back.
