Lovely hotel, great location
Lovely hotel, friendly helpful staff, and a terrific location - right in the heart of downtown Clemson. My (very small) quibbles - towels were not up to the rest of this hotel's quality, and the lobby and hallways were cold!

Beautiful in every way
We stayed here for a college visit to Clemson. We paid a little more than we wanted to and it May have been nicer than we expected and we were blown away by how well done the design was. The beautiful unique personal art that was hanging was a nice touch. The book by my bedside piqued my interest so I looked into the mission of the hotel and was So impressed. The walkability was perfect. You can tell it was all built with tremendous intentionality. I hope we get the chance to stay here again.
