I travel often and stay in a variety of hotels throughout the Southeast. I was extremely impressed with our stay at the Hampton Inn! The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was SO comfortable! I was thrilled when I saw that there was an outdoor pool. Even happier at how spotless the pool was! The pool area was kept clean and was such a nice way to relax before heading to the USC game with my daughter who is a freshman. My husband and I stayed two nights and the only complaint I can share is that the lounge chairs by the pool were not the most comfortable for laying out on. But honestly who cares? Everything else was perfect! The free breakfast included hot options such as waffles, sausage and eggs. Or you had the option of grab-n-go with cereals, yogurt, muffins and fresh fruit. The coffee was hot and delicious! We will ABSOLUTELY be returning again soon and cannot wait for another visit!!

The staff were welcoming and great. The room was nice and clean. I liked that I had a refrigerator and microwave in the room. I like it because it allows pets. I did not have my two small dogs with me on this trip but will consider bringing them with me on my next trip.

The hotel was convenient for our trip to Congaree National Park. We enjoyed a satisfying breakfast before leaving. I used the gym in the evening and found it clean and okay for what I needed.

Tina at the front desk is friendly and professional. I inadvertently booked the wrong Hampton Inn. I was looking for the one on Killian Road closest to Vive Church on Clemson Road. The parking lot here is small and dimly lit. I hope my car will be safe.

This property was nasty and full of mold! The staff were rude and refused to deal with a severe black mold issue in our room. When this issue was brought to the staffs attention we were told that there was no mold even though we had pictures! We were switched to another room that had a similar problem. At check out I asked to be refunded back a night stay but was told I needed to speak with my 3rd party booker. Staff still said that there was no mold. I have been met with nothing but attitude and disrespect from this particular property and it's sad when grown people will lie to try and prove a point when there is clear proof of the mold and filth. My 3rd party booker said I had to contact the hotel. At this point I want a full refund and I want to put this all behind me. Word of mouth goes a long way so here it is! I will not recommend this property even if it was for free!

Black hairs on linens/towels. When I tried to check in they tried to make me pay again because they said the hotels.com payment wasn’t going through. Then after I argued it magically worked. Seemed sketchy.

Nice Hampton, but aging a bit. Beds were comfy, rooms clean. The only issue was a leaking toilet, which after we notified the front desk about, were moved to another room. Just a little bit of a hassle.

As a Hilton Honors member, I usually receive unsolicited two complimentary bottles of water. The checkin reception informed me that my Hilton Honors ranking did not qualify me to receive a bottle of water. I ended up purchasing two bottle of waters for six dollars. First time as member I was refused bottles of water probably value at less than 50 cents on a wholesale basis. For a moment, I seriously considered dropping out the Hilton Honors membership, but remembered that all of my prior encounters were very positive and maybe this particular receptionist was having a bad day. She made point of emphasizing that I did not qualify for a bottle water although as a guest i have spent thousand of dollars staying at Hilton hotels.
