The night manager is a joke. Got me and my husband banned over her allowing a guy to sleep in histruck in the parking lot. Not to mentionand hr before she called the cops on me for no reason other than she was salty bc she called the cops on him for being weird and driving around the parking lot. Then u let him sleep there for real. I wouldve had to rent a room like anyone else which in fact idid for 2 nights. Worst experience of my life. Not to mentionall the rooms are falling apart there was literally some white residue of some sort onthe nightstand and dresser when we checked in.

The lady at the front desk was very polite. I have breathing problems and on oxygen and she accommodated me close to the office on the bottom floor. Nice place to stay and right at the interstate.

Desperate for a hotel for Clemson parents weekend. All hotels in the area charge abusive prices for parents weekend. I brought my own pillow and pillow case and settled for this one.
