Overall this was a good place to stay. The suite was huge for the price, it was immaculate, and the front desk staff checking in and out were perfect. Plus the hotel is pet friendly which is important to me.
I started to question value, until I realized that I booked the room three days before a Clemson home game. I'm lucky I even got a room, much less a suite for $150. While it seems pricey, having a genuine two-room suite would be worth it's weight in gold to a family trapped in a mini-van together for 500 miles.
The two negatives aren't huge, but enough for me to point them out. First, the breakfast area was cramped and VERY hot. The food was standard two-star fare, it's difficult to mess it up, or to make it outstanding.
Secondly, housekeeping knocked at 8:00AM. Not a problem. We explained that we were going to get breakfast, take the dog out, and then pack and leave by 9:30. We had the discussion again at 8:10 when she knocked. A few minutes later, we went to breakfast, told her (she was hovering outside the door. Were we the only room that needed to be cleaned?) that our dog was still in the room, and we would be back soon. She wasn't happy. 8:45 after breakfast we have this conversation AGAIN when she knocks. We put the 'do not disturb' sign out hoping she would get the hint. All the while she's hovering outside our door.
At 9AM she knocks and we have the conversation. Again. By this time, my wife and I just want to get away from this woman. My wife takes the dog and a couple of bags to the car while I finish getting dressed. The housekeeper barges in without knocking and we have an awkward introduction for the 5th time. Now, she saw a man, a woman, and a dog enter the room. She saw a woman and a dog exit the room. What's left?
On the way out I observed that the housekeeping storage area was just down the hall from us. We were on the first floor. It would seem that housekeeping only works sequentially from nearest to furthest room.
Advice - ask for second or third floor if you're not leaving by 8AM.
Room Tip: Get second or third floor if you plan on staying past 8AM - housekeeping starts early on the first f...
