They are doing construction at the property right now - figuring out how to get to an actual door and parking is a bit of a nightmare especially at night. If you are going in the next month or so. Look for a Gamecocks tent off of Henderson and there’s a person in the tent to direct you. The rooms are small. The bathroom is tiny. Just not the luxury, I was expecting from a Graduate brand hotel. They are beautifully decorated - very pleasing to the eye. Our room was noisy! The AC unit clanked all night long. The beds were very comfortable and clean.
