Nice touch coming back at midnight after the concert they had water and snacks for everyone. Beautiful setting in the back of the hotel was a lake. Very peaceful to sit outside. Lots of food options nearby. Highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed at this Hampton Inn for 4 nights and had a very positive experience overall. The hotel was…read moreclean, well-maintained, and in a convenient location for getting around the area. One of the highlights of my stay was the staff. The three different front desk employees I interacted with were all friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The woman who oversees breakfast in the mornings was also wonderful and consistently made the breakfast area feel inviting. The complimentary breakfast was great each day, and my room was comfortable and clean throughout my stay. All of the room amenities worked as expected, including the iron and hair dryer, which I appreciated. My only suggestion for improvement would be the laundry room. It could use a little TLC in terms of general upkeep, and there was a noticeable odor in that area. That said, it didn't take away from an otherwise excellent stay. Overall, I would gladly stay here again and would recommend this hotel to others looking for a clean, comfortable place with friendly staff and a great breakfast.

No complaints about our room. Breakfast buffet was the bomb! Thoroughly enjoyed it daily.read more

If you are…read moreintentional about how and where you spend your time & money, then this is where you need to stay. Beautiful design work throughout. A welcoming and cool vibe. Comfortable and well appointed rooms. Central to everything Clemson offers. Don't miss Delish Sisters restaurant on the first floor...it's equal in every way to the hotel. Most importantly are the incredible people that make this place run so smoothly. I could go on and on about Tanner and Frankie, but literally everyone we met brought the same genuine care for making our stay special. A special shout out to Cobi who held down the night operations on a particularity busy evening. His contagious energy and leadership were refreshing. Can't wait to come back!

And no I didn't complain, I just cleaned it myself. The counter areas where the tv and desk are were not wiped down and cleaned at all. Sticky drink rings in 3 different areas. Counters themselves were sticky, crumbs on the counter and on the floor. Floor was not vacuumed at all. Even the hallway to going to my room was dirty and not vacuumed. Finger prints all over the windows. It was disappointing to see but I gave 4 stars because the staff was so friendly and I usually always have a great experience at all Hiltons

Update; had to stay here again, the alternatives in Franklin are even worse. The price this time…read morewas over $200, the same price we just paid at Holiday Inn Express in Park City, Utah...Franklin, NC is no Park City. this hotel is the crappiest hotel I've ever stayed in for $200+. Genuinely dated. When my wife asked why it was so expensive, the desk clerk replied, "People can beg all they want, we're going to charge whatever we feel like". The attitude is also genuinely dated!

It's a shame that the wonderful staff has to work in worst hotel I've ever stayed in. The 1st room…read morehad only one small bar of soap in the bathroom. No amenities on the sink at all. No coffee maker in any room. The deadbolt did not work. The 2nd room had a toilet that was about to overflow. Pole lamp was missing light bulb. After getting one, still did not work. Found out the wall outlet was bad (fire hazard?). The 3rd room had a very loud broken fan in the bathroom. One bottle of shampoo and two bars of soap. When wiping up some spilled water with a washcloth, found out the floor was filthy (never mopped). Also, the microwave did not work. Per an employee, the management only employs a maintenance person for 2 hours PER WEEK at $10 per hour. Corporate should get involved or drop them all together. They are an embarrassment.

Well, where do I start. When I first checked in, I asked if there was any chance for any upgrades…read moreand before I could even finish, it was an absolute no. When I got to my room, I found a ceiling access panel laying on the bed. When I mentioned to a person about it, they sent someone and repaired it with tape that you could clearly notice and not a small panel. When I got there, only one elevator was working and by day two both elevators were out of service. Went out the pool which was over 100°. They only have a few umbrellas that were only attached to tables. Pool was way too small for the number of guests to stay at this hotel. Then Noticed some type of water break that put what looked like sewage across a walkway and was dried and no one thought enough to clean it off the entire weekend. Why would a resort with a lot of children close pool at 8 o'clock in the summer? The food I did have from the restaurant was good and the bar service was great both in and outside.

This time I stayed in a fully equipped cabin up hill, very clean with a screened porch. Cabins have been upgraded & newly renovated to keep the Appalachian charm. They are kids & pet friendly. Ask them for tubbing, canoeing, sightseeing recommendations.

Lovely decor, outstanding hospitality, we also had excellent dinner service, available Tuesday and…read moreThursday for guests with a private chef and breakfast was fantastic. We booked a date ahead of time that turned out to be right after the late January ice storm. The inn called to confirm our visit or to offer a refund with no penalty. "We are comIng" and so they were ready. We were the only guest, however, which was great, because we had the run of the place, but odd because from 9PM until 5;00 AM or thereabouts we were the only people in the inn. But happy hour went on nevertheless, beforehand, and dinner was cathead biscuits, local pecan encrusted pan seared trout, and other local delicacies. We felt so special! Our room was very nice, however, if you happen to be here during or after an ice storm, don't get a room adjacent to the main road. The power company did a great job clearing roads and restoring lines and such, but they get an early start and are big and loud rolling down the main cross street at very early AM times, and we are early risers. Just saying, a very, very lovely stay, but get a back room if an ice storm has just rolled through. Definitely will return!

We checked out early because mattress was so uncomfortable in "Holly". When this was brought up to management the general manager Jenna said "I have slept in that bed before and it was fine" - not the most professional response. Sorry won't return and I cannot recommend.
