It wasn't terrible, but definitely...

Liked: The breakfast was okay, just not a lot of options. I love the location being so close to Clemson University, along with shops, restaurants, etc.
Disliked: It didn't look like the pool had been cleaned or properly maintained in weeks. The ice machine was broken on the second floor. There was a placard in our bathroom that stated the room would be cleaned every other day. We were there 3 nights and the room was never serviced.

Would Definitely Stay Again

Liked: The staff was amazingly friendly, helpful and kind. ALL of them! My husband and I had our first restful sleep in eons because the bed was so incredibly comfortable. (I did bring my own pillow and I'm glad I did. The hotel pillow were small and very, very soft so they didn't provide a lot of support) The TV was plenty large and the room, itself, was very nicely decorated. We liked that there was a closet AND a hanging wardrobe. Shampoo, conditioner, body soap, lotion, hand soap, make up remover wipes, shower cap and bar soaps were provided . The pool was clean and hit the spot on such a hot afternoon . There are also several patio tables by the pool which were nice spots to eat breakfast. Speaking of, overall, breakfast was much better than most hotels provide when it comes with the room. There were bagels (plain and what looked like everything), white and wheat bread (with toaster), muffins and scones, yogurt and a couple of toppings, hard boiled eggs, western omelettes (which were quite good), Belgian waffles (regular and red velvet batters were available) several juices, maple smoked sausage, potatoes and likely things I'm forgetting . The eating area in the lobby was spacious, clean and well set out for 2 - 12 people tables. There was also a high chair available. Coffee and tea are available around the clock! The location is convenient to a huge variety of eateries and a small strip mall area. (About a 3 minute drive)
Disliked: Our bathroom was equipped with a Jacuzzi tub and we were SO excited until we looked at the jets. Just completely surrounded in mold. Had they been turned on, the tub would have been FULL of swimming mold clumps . The shower head was SO high mounted on the wall, by the time the water reached me (I'm average height for a female at 5'6"), the water stream was so widely spread out there was hardly any pressure making it difficult to rinse shampoo, conditioner and/soap away. The ceiling in the bathroom also had what was either large-ish dust clumps or mildew near and I er the tub.The area, itself, is not super walkable as sidewalks (in some directions) and the ability to cross the five lane road is not easy.

Too humid and musty, and...

Liked: Pleasant, helpful check in desk.
Disliked: humid room smelled musty, scratchy sheets and towels. Broken sink. Windows were thin so we could sleep due to the road noise. Couldn't sleep due to the increased humidity in the room.
