Desperate for a hotel for Clemson parents weekend. All hotels in the area charge abusive prices for parents weekend. I brought my own pillow and pillow case and settled for this one.

This was the WORST place I have ever stayed and we felt very unsafe. The bath towels were stained. And to make it a complete nightmare, we discovered cockroaches crawling around in the morning. We want a FULL refund!

Filthy room/careless management
The floor of the room was filthy. I told the front desk about this after our first night and they said they would clean it. It was just as dirty the second night. Management didn't care when I voiced my complaints the next night. I tried calling back four times over the following two weeks to speak with or leave a message with a manager about my experience. They never bothered to call back.
Photo of the towel that I wiped on the floor. There was zero concern when I showed this to the person working the front desk.
