The front desk is super friendly. The lady asked the Tap bar to help me to review our cooler with a lot of ice. The location is so convenient for visiting the university and to the downtown. The beds are very comfortable. The hotel is very clean. We also like the atmosphere very much lots of Clementson University culture display.
