Courtyard Clemson

Love this hotel

We booked this hotel specifically so my son with special needs could swim in the outdoor pool. We when went to look at the pool upon arrival (Saturday) there was a signed attached to the entry gate saying “Pool closed.” Upon checking in, the front desk employee told me the maintenance man said the pool was not right (I assume chemically) and that he would not return until Monday and that the pool would remain closed.

Great hotel. Clean -safe - nice room!

Super nice clean and comfortable

Nothing

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times in the last 18 months because my son was considering Clemson for college and is now attending. The hotel is fine, but it needs some attention. First trip was Feb. 2023 and I don't think we had any problems. Second trip was May 2024 and our room had no hot water when we checked in around 4pm. We were told there was no maintenance on site to check it out and also that no one could check another empty room to see if it had hot water so we could move. Really odd. This most recent trip was June 2024. Of note, the pillows in our room were awful. We drove, so I really wish we had brought our own pillows. The ones in our room were flat and seemed very old. Also know that this hotel seems to have central air, but they have also installed room units near the window and they are super noisy at night. Like really noisy. For someone like me who sleeps lightly, it bothered me even with sleeping ear plugs in.

My first room was horrible. The shower head was separating from the wall, there was mold in the shower, and there was a smell in the room. Once, I reported the conditions to the hotel front desk another room was assigned to me. I have to admit my disappointment, because the Marriott brand is associated with quality. I stay at Marriott hotels because worries about cleanliness is taken off the table.
