The proximity to the campus can't be beat! Staff was friendly but the walls are THIN! Probably didn't help being located near the elevator the staff used for services.

They are doing construction at the property right now - figuring out how to get to an actual door and parking is a bit of a nightmare especially at night. If you are going in the next month or so. Look for a Gamecocks tent off of Henderson and there’s a person in the tent to direct you. The rooms are small. The bathroom is tiny. Just not the luxury, I was expecting from a Graduate brand hotel. They are beautifully decorated - very pleasing to the eye. Our room was noisy! The AC unit clanked all night long. The beds were very comfortable and clean.

We found this place to be very charming. As a location on the campus of the university there were a few students around using the facilities. It was great. The food was good. The rooms were great.
