After seeing that the property was not at all as described and feeling very uncomfortable at the location, I registered at a different hotel and did not stay here. It is a motel and not a hotel, poorly lit internal staircases and just creepy.

This was by far the dirtiest most disgusting hotel room I have ever stayed in. We left as soon as we could and checked into a different hotel. We had a room right across from the snack machines. There were about 10 leaking and smelly trash bags beside the ice maker which was beside the snack machine and all were swimming in trash juice water. Our sheets were dirty (dirt where your feet go under the covers so either dirty or stained). The interior of the room was gross. I accidently dropped my toothbrush on the counter and just threw it away. This place needs to be bulldozed and just start over. The room STUNK something AWFUL of cigarette smoke, week and BO (was a "non-smoking" room). My daughter wanted to sleep in the car. This place ... I cannot even explain. People walked by the room back and forth all night. I didn't feel very safe. It was just an awful experience.

The staff was great, however, I would never stay there again. The first room was very run down and felt dirty. The AC did not work The next morning we explained the situation and was moved to a room that was cleaner and the AC worked. The costumer service was excellent, it is just a run down property and I would not stay there again.

It was parents weekend at Clemson so everything was booked. Old place. Worn and in desperate need of deep cleaning and updates. Will never wait to book for game weekends again! Too far from Clemson and not worth half of what we paid

Our room smelled terrible- a mixture of smoke and old mildew. The carpet was dirty and stained in areas. The one positive was the bed appeared clean and comfortable. Overall this place was old and run down- in need of an up date.

This place was completely unacceptable. The room was in terrible condition, worse than what would be suitable even for animals. It looked like it had been neglected and misused for years, and I would never allow my dogs, let alone people, to stay there. Highly disappointing and not at all what was advertised.

In what was supposed to be a non-smoking room, there were cigarette ashes on the TV console. The smell was terrible. It probably hadn't been vacuumed in months. The carpet was excessively stained with what looked like blood. There were similar stains stains covering the botrom of the bathtub. When I picked my bag up (on my way out to ask for a refund), I discovered the floor was soaked and it soaked through my bag into my clothes. Disgusting. After being awake for 24 hours, we chose to drive home rather than stay there. If I was in a less busy season in life, I'd contact the health department. The ONLY good at the hotel was the woman at the front desk who was kind and professional at check-in and in informing Expedia of the need for a refund.

This was a wonderful experience. Great value for the cost. it was convenient to Anderson University. The staff were professional & pleasant. We asked for a quiet room & had an interior courtyard room which was very quiet. The bed was simply wonderful Everything was clean & tidy. sensor motion lights in room so that you did not stumble in the dark if you got up for the bathroom.

Very basic- you get what you pay for. The bed and TV were actually quite good. Bath (tube and toilet cistern) need maintenance. It is a bit noisy. The breakfast is a no go - only the waffles or porridge are eatable.

This hotel should be condemned!! Do not, I repeat, DO NOT book this hotel. Rooms are horrible and smell like wet dog and urine. Air conditioners do not work, toilets leak, carpet is filthy and cigarette burns are all over the bathtubs. Attached photo is how we had to “rig” the door from opening because the safety hasp was broken on the door!!

I was surprised with the receptionist stating that i had to pay $100 at check in for a deposit on any mishaps in the room. In the past I have been used to hotels only putting a card on file and charging if incidentals occurred. Other than that the hotel was fine for a one night stay to get away.

The rooms were not as described. When we arrived there two police cars on the property talking with two guests. I went to the drink and ice machine and there was a homeless man’s with a backpack living under the stairs. People taking their inside chairs outside to smoke and hauling back in. Our room wreaked of smoke and dog pee. Will not ever stay here again. No pop up on the lavatory or a tub drain. Definitely not as described.
