Very good breakfast for a free buffet. Not within walking distance of many restaurants or shops. Fitness facility is about a 10 minute drive. Very nice staff. Good location for exploring the lakes region of South Carolina.

The place is cheap, dated and clean. They upgraded my room to jacuzzi room which was nice however we didn't use it. Staff was friendly, however upon check in the (Assistant) Manager was speaking to an employee right at check in area, very loud and almost sounded like the girl was in trouble..I could barely hear the lady who was helping me. It was very awkward and un professional. She could have taken the employee to an empty part of the hotel, or waited until we were no longer standing there. Food was decent the next morning.

Overall not a bad place. It was very humid in our room the entire stay which is not comfortable to me. The swamp cooler worked but it wasn't proper A/C. We had an annoying BRIGHT flashing light on the smoke detector that kept me up. The jacuzzi tub was nice. The bed was a bit too firm for my liking. The price was fair for the jacuzzi room.

BED BUGS Recently stayed here with family. Let me get straight to point. Bed bugs in room caught on blanket next morning. I would not expect bed bugs in room when I am paying almost $200 a night: I understand they can come but then that is part of management to take care off. Got the room changed but my wife got bites second night. Fortunately she didn’t had bites first night. I told them they can be in other room also. After second night experience I would not stop putting this. Staff was courteous . Breakfast is kind of Ok. See the pics. Never recommend and probably will not stay in best western anymore.

Room was slightly smelly. I was and in my sleep because my fingers and arms were itching. I tried to ignore it but finally ran to the bathroom to wash it off. Thought may be an allergic reaction. Instead I had huge bumps on my fingers, hands, arms, forehead and my side. Back to bed and I find bugs crawling around

They have bed bugs in multiple rooms, my friends stay there a monthe before me and had bed bug issues so i tried to cancel my room but the wouldn't allow me to even though i mentioned the bed bugs. They basically called me a liar and wouldn't cancel my reservation. We checked in wand the lady at the desk was super nice but once we went to the room we found bed bugs. Had to find a new hotel at midnight for 5 people and now im waiting on my refund. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Overall, our stay at the Best Western Seneca-Clemson was very good! The staff was very courteous and helpful. The room was clean. Though we opted not to have our room cleaned one day, a housekeeping staff in the hall asked if we needed anything and gave us what we needed. The staff at the front desk were great and very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was very good with an array of breakfast items from eggs, sausage, waffles and sausage gravy, to fruits and yogurts to cereal and oatmeal along with different types of drinks. I was pleased that they had coffee available in the dining room 24/7! The only con is their pillows were very soft and a bit uncomfortable. We would stay there again if in the area.

The hotel was quiet and the room was very clean and spacious. The mattress was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was great. They provide free breakfast and leave out some snacks and coffee out all the time which was very nice. The price was very reasonable, especially for a Clemson home game weekend.

Had quite an issue with check-in, had to call Expedia, but they finally got it figured out. The guest services clerk was nice and worked hard on it, though. Room was mediocre. It’s quite big and mostly clean. Quite a few black hairs on the bedspread and on the extra blankets we requested. The King bed was quite firm/hard, those with back or hip issues may be hurting in the morning.

Like most hotels/ motels you can hear the traffic noise from the room but the staff are friendly and quick to answer your questions. The beds in the room are comfortable and I slept like a baby. I woke up the next morning and enjoyed a good breakfast of eggs, sausage, and a fresh hot waffles and there was a variety of different juice to choose from I'll be back again in in the near future.

Didn't stay at hotel since they were trying to charge my debit card almost double the cost of the quoted price. I opted to pay on check-in not prior to. I called the hotel since they sent me emails regarding the charges and they were pretty unprofessional and saying they are in high demand and that the room was more expensive on Saturday, that was not noted on my reservation receipt. These things all made me decide to stay elsewhere. I honestly was concerned that I would find myself being surprised with another higher cost on day 2 check out. The entire conversation and incident made me a bit uncomfortable to say the least. When you choose the option to pay on arrival they shouldn't be charging my card with out a phone call first.

I liked the breakfast buffet. A large selection of food choices. The room was clean and comfortable. I stayed 2 nights and the 2nd day of my stay I was disturbed with the front desk clerk knocking on my door saying my room was listed as empty. 20 mins later we spoke on phone while she tried to figure out what happened. Eventually discvering the previous employee had me listed in a different room! Annoying.

It was fine. Good breakfast. The eggs tasted fresh and were hot. They had biscuits and gravy that was really good. Even though we put the environment card on the bed they changed the linens and towels. Our only complaint was that one of the sheer curtains was ripped. It was a pleasant stay.

She pulled the spray out, sprayed the waffle maker and put it back in the drawer where nobody could use it. The waffles continued to stick
