The room and staff were absolutely wonderful. Honestly, I would’ve given this five stars except for the windows that make up the entire side of the hotel must be older, and it is very noisy from the outside. The staff did have earplugs available for everyone, which was lovely. The staff and cleanliness of the room which seems to have just been redone could not have been better.
Convenience to everything is great. Staff is always friendly. Don’t love the new $10 parking fee.

Hotel was in a great location and walkable for visiting USC, however seemed dated and bare minimum from an accommodations standpoint. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was nice to have the bar/breakfast options for quick bites. We've stayed in much nicer Courtyards so were expecting a bit more in the rooms. If you're there for a night, it's fine, but cheaper hotels in the area are just as convenient, newer, and nicer. The parking garage was very tight, so if you stay there, and especially if you have a larger car, recommend parking on the upper deck for easier in and out.
Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Nice size room but the bathroom was on the small side. Liked that the hotel is within walking distance from University of South Carolina.

Staff was so friendly! Great location, easy parking. The first night our air handler was SO loud. We told them the next morning and they took care of it right away. This was our second time staying there and we will definitely be back again.
Beds were not comfortable. Did not sleep well. Street noise was loud as well. But it is a city after all. No waters in the room. Had to go downstairs and ask. Also only 3 bath towels in each room.
Multiple things stood out to me: top-notch customer service. The facility, when you walk in, had a great aroma, in the lobby area. The rooms were clean. Everything was perfect. I had a great time.
