There were bed bugs in the room. It was 1130pm so we had no choice but to switch rooms in the hotel. The next day we’re got a full refund through Travelocity who handled the situation quickly and courteously. The property manager was rude and unprofessional; The night manager did her best to help us out with a different room. Thank you Travelocity for standing by your word!

Stayed here for three nights for a swim meet at Gamecocks Aquatic Center. The location is super convenient to campus and within walking distance to great restaurants. Here are the cons: - There are 2 elevators for the building. One elevator was out during our entire stay. During busy times, I took the stairs a lot. One afternoon both elevators were out and everyone was walking up and down stairs. Although they got the elevator repaired, this seemed like a difficult situation for people who are not able-bodied. -Parking was terrible. We mostly had to valet while there. Sometimes this also took a while to get our car. -The shades on the windows do not block out all of the light. If you like a really dark room, this hotel is not for you. Curtains would be a much better option. -If you have multiple people in the room, the bathroom is frosted rolling door. If someone is sleeping, but another person needs a light on in the bathroom, it will illuminate the whole room. The bathroom door also does not offer much privacy. -Breakfast was lacking. I asked one of the employees if they had certain items and I was told that a truck did not come in time and they would have to buy from a local store. The next day it was apparent no one bothered to purchase the items. Overall, it was okay, but nothing great. Also, I would choose to stay somewhere else next time.
