Holiday Inn Express & Suites Clemson – Univ Area

Overall it’s a clean and relaxing hotel. The only reason I dropped it a star was because the fire alarm went off 3 times in the middle of the night from 1 am to 5 am. They were testing the fire alarms the next day. However the manager did give me a credit of 2,000 points to my IHG credit that I appreciate and when I arrived they have me a water/​Soda beverage to choose from since I was a member. Breakfast was pretty decent and well kept. since I stayed 3 nights and never got to see any eggs for breakfast. They have a poster even with eggs on it and it says power protein! (With exclamation marks) Myself and others asked about the eggs but the breakfast staff replied very shocked and said oh no, we don’t do eggs. As a clean food and protein eater this was a little misleading and the sign should be taken down if they don’t provide the service

This is a great location if you are visiting people who live in the Clemson area. It was clean and comfortable. There wasn’t a view but most of our time wasn’t spent at the motel. The biggest kick against it was the refrigerator did not work. I tried to use the workout room but it only had a weight machine that would have surely torn a rotator cuff had used it. The continental breakfast was average. Basically what you would get at most motels. It was kept clean.

Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Clemson — Univ Area was pre-​arranged by family and it was a very convenient choice for our needs. The rooms were clean, bathrooms sparkling, and the staff very friendly and helpful. My refrigerator did not work but I didn’t say anything until checking out. I would have liked to have used it, but there never seemed to be a convenient time to have maintenance look at it… no reflection on the staff, I take full responsibility for that. I used the workout room and only used the treadmill, which worked well. I liked having the TV, towels, sanitary wipes, water, and the scale in there. My husband would have preferred free weights but there were none. He did not have a good experience with the weight machine. The pool looked inviting but no time! The breakfast offering was varied and kept well stocked and the area kept clean. Overall, a good experience – I would stay again.

Hotel is new and is located near the Clemson university. The parking is all around the hotel and is shared with another hotel closed by.
Free breakfast in the morning.
No much noise in the rooms since the hotel is a little distant from the main road.
Fitness center is decent, and they have a pool with no jacuzzi. Price is decent for the area.

Room and hotel very clean, front desk was very pleasant but the mattress sunk in the middle and probably the worst night sleep ever. The room had been updated and it’s time to do the same for the mattress.

This hotel provides great recognition for IHG Rewards Club members, the the suite upgrade was definitely appreciated. The hotel is less than a mile away from Clemson and is right across the street from a grocery store, along with many other restaurants and shops.
The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area.

Tight Rooms… so so service from front desk.
It was mid July and Clemson University didn’t have any events, so I didn’t think we needed a reservation. Boy, I was wrong. We could stay on the first floor the first night and there would be no rooms available the 2^nd and 3^rd night.
The fellow at the Front Desk checking us in made us feel like we were bothering him. He was non chalant and could care less about not being able to provide a room for us.
The first floor room had 2 queen beds and flat screen tv. Although the beds were fairly comfortable, the room was tight with just enough room to walk in front of the bed. They supplied enough electrical outlets to charge our cell phones and tablets. They supplied drawers, but there was no closet and no place to hang your clothes. The bathroom was the most spacious part of the room.
Although they advertised free WiFi, it didn’t work for me. The complimentary breakfast was good serving eggs, two types of sausage, cereals, a pancake machine, breads, muffins, coffee, juice.
We ended up being glad that we did not make reservations and did not stay there the extra 2 days. Our trip was centered around Lake Keowee more than 20 minutes away.

Stayed here when I was in town. The staff was helpful in suggesting places to eat and visit. The room next door time was really loud but that’s my only complaint.

I stayed here in March while visiting my son @ Clemson Univ. While the cost seems a little pricy (as compared to some hotels slightly further from Clemson), breakfast is included, the rooms were immaculate and the staff could not have been more accommodating. The pool area (which we did not use) appeared clean. I did use the fitness facilities and they served the purpose. The area was clean and the area was clean and equipment well kept. Will definitely stay here again
N.S.

Solid choice when in town, nice clean and comfortable. Free wifi and breakfast as well.

I’ve stayed here twice during football season and while I died a little on the inside at the price (triple what it costs during non-​football time), it is a REALLY nice hotel. Location is great. It’s new. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice and roomy. Beds are pretty comfortable. They have a free breakfast which looked pretty good, but only had the coffee, so can’t confirm the quality. I think all the rooms have microwaves and mini-​fridges which came in handy for storing pre-​made tailgate stuff.

Great hotel! Staff was incredibly helpful, and the rooms were updated, very clean, and spacious. This hotel must be relatively new or recently remodeled. The pool was indoors and very clean. Free wifi. The free breakfast offered a wide variety of cereals, pastries, and juices, as well as decent coffee and an assortment of hot items (eggs, bacon, biscuits, etc).
Comfortable for families or business folks, this hotel proved to me that Holiday Inn Express’ are always a great option for any kind of travel.
