Across recent reviews, Fairfield Inn & Suites Seneca Clemson Univ Area earns consistent praise for friendly staff, very clean spaces, and a convenient lakeside location with attractive views, along with a breakfast many guests rate highly for quality and variety.
Several reviews note uncomfortable or low beds and flat pillows, occasional housekeeping misses despite every-other-day service, and some maintenance or AC issues such as loud units, broken fixtures, or worn carpets. Guests also highlight quiet surroundings and easy access to Clemson University and nearby dining. Expect a clean, friendly stay with great views, though room comfort can vary.

This seemed like it was newly built. Hotel was very clean, inside and out. Lots of parking. Food choices nearby or within a few minutes of driving. The best part of this hotel was the lake views. There's a deck that overlooks the lake. Ample seating for the views to enjoy the serene settings. The room was very clean and I just loved the shower. Breakfast had many choices either sit in or take to go. Lastly let me add, the staffing is very friendly. Everyone was so courteous and nice. I would love to return and further enjoy the stay here.

Overall the stay was decent. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. The bed was very uncomfortable - it felt worn out and I had a hard time sleeping and woke up with a terrible back ache. The mattresses need to be replaced. The WiFi is also very unreliable - it took me 15 minutes and a trip to the front desk to finally get connected. Safe area and easy parking.

The maid service is offered every other day and they day they were supposed to do it, they forgot to make the bed. Its a fine place and for what they charge for the area I'd stay there again. Its a commuter hotel and that's it nothing more.

Stayed here for Clemson’s Parent Weekend. The young man working the night shift was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of our stay. The room was extremely small, and the bed was low, hard, and incredibly uncomfortable. By day three, our room still hadn’t been serviced—no clean towels, toilet paper, or soap. When we asked the woman at the front desk why housekeeping hadn’t come, she responded rudely and repeatedly stated that the hotel only services rooms every other day. We had to explain multiple times that it was day three, and our room hadn’t been touched at all. She finally said she’d send someone, as if she were doing us a favor, rather than acknowledging the oversight. When you’re paying over $300 a night, you expect better service than this! After we left, we stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Charleston and paid about the same—but had a way better experience! The staff was amazing, the rooms were nice, and although housekeeping was also scheduled every other day, they actually followed through. We get it—Parent’s Weekend is always crazy busy—but all we were asking for after three days was for our room to be serviced. Not too much to ask.

The breakfast was really good. The room was clean and staff was nice. When we checked in, there was no soup nor hank wash provided. The air conditioner was very loud in the evening. When I adjusted the room temperature from 74 degrees to 72 degrees, it took more than one hour and didn’t reach the temperature and I had to stop it.

This hotel is right on the lake yet there is no lake access. They have fences, barbed wire, and a huge retaining wall to block lake access. That's absolutely ridiculous. So forget about bank fishing or hanging out by the water. FWIW, I happen to run a hotel on a lake and we have boat docks, a fire pit, and more and the lake is the focal point of the property. The room was OK, but it had brown stains on the wall and the bed was made sloppily. There's no towel rack at the shower. The woman at the front desk was disinterested when I checked in and spoke so quickly and robotically I could not understand what she was saying. She also seemed to struggle with the computer system and it took much to long to check in. Years ago I was both a Fairfield and Courtyard GM and this hotel was not up to the standards I was accustomed to. It wasn't terrible, but there was nothing about it that would make me want to stay there again.

I stay at a lot of places on business, average 25 hotel stays a year, the staff here are hands down the best and friendliest people I've ever come across. I even witnessed the lady at the desk assisting an elderly man in the parking lot to his car, offering several times to go get his vehicle and bring it up for him. The room was very clean and the entire facility is very well kept. Encountering room staff in the hallways, we were always greeted with a smile and a good morning/evening. Breakfast was on par and again, staff were there to make sure we didn't need anything else and to make sure everything was satisfactory. I enjoyed our stay here more than at places I've paid double the price for. If I ever need to return to this area this is absolutely where I will be staying.

We stayed at the Fairfield for the holidays. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and took good care of us. Breakfast was excellent to start our day. The location in town was perfect to get to restaurants and centrally located in Seneca. Great view of river. We'll be back to stay here soon.

We had a great visit at this hotel. From booking, to checking in, and throughout out stay... everything was great. Very nice and clean. Beautiful view of the lake from our room. My only complaint, i asked at check in if the breakfast had waffles, and was told yes, but it ended up being a prepackaged waffle and my very picky daughter would not eat. Was really hoping they would have had waffle maker for fresh waffles.

This was one of the best stays we’ve ever had at any hotel! The room was quiet and clean, the view of the lake was so beautiful, and breakfast was incredible! Hands down the best breakfast at any hotel. It far exceeded any expectations, and they even had vanilla almond milk for my son who is lactose intolerant. The service was incredible. The employees were so nice and kind. If there were any negatives, I would say the kind size bed was a platform bed and too low for our liking, but it was comfortable and made for a good night’s sleep. The hotel is in a great part of town near so many restaurants and we felt incredibly safe there. We will definitely stay here again if we are ever in town again!

The property was super nice! We had a Beautiful corner room with views of the lake. The staff were very pleasant. Very quiet and roomy. Plenty of breakfast but the coffee was not drinkable. Glad to see a gluten free option for bread as well. We will stay there again for sure!

Stayed 2 nights. This hotel has great view on the water at Lake Keowee. Room was comfy, did have slight issues such as shower tile and door. Both were off kilter/settling has occurred, cracked shower tiles. Breakfast was complimentary, but not a hearty one. Basics only like waffle, muffins, 2 hot items were eggs and bacon/sausage. Conveniently located to Seneca and Clemson was 8 miles away.

A little maintenance was needed on the shower door in our bathroom and the bed was just ok. The room was very clean, thank you housekeeping. The breakfast area was super clean and the offerings were plentiful and well stocked.
