Best Hotels near Pendleton District Commission, Pendleton

Well it’s been a while since I have had any places to write about (COVID) but I’m out and about again. Believe it or not my twins will be off to college in a short while so we are doing the whole college campus thing. So everyone knows Clemson and that’s where we headed. Upon check in I was greeted with the most friendly and courteous lady. We exchanged pleasantries and she offered a map of the campus and some dining suggestions for the area. The room was not elaborate or fancy but my biggest concern was addressed……it was CLEAN! The white bedspreads showed no stains or yellowing, the furniture had no dust and best of all the shower had no sign of mold or mildew as these older more moderate hotels do on occasion. The free breakfast bar offered an assortment of muffins, sweet rolls and pancakes. There were also eggs, scrambled and omelette, bacon regular and turkey as well as an assortment of juices, cereals and yogurt. Oh and let us not forget coffee! There was an attendant constantly cleaning tables as guest left and ensuring that the foods that were low were refilled. The price was right for a mom getting ready to embark on two college tuitions at one time! We would certainly stay at this location again! Go Tigers!

We enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and the staff was great!!! House keeping was so helpful and kind when we needed extra towels. It is located in a great location. So many amazing restaurants close by and it was close to where we were visiting.

It’s a nice hotel that needs to be updated a bit, the room was clean and very big. The location is very central, you can find almost everything in a 5 minute drive. You are close to the highway. The staff was very helpful and nice. Would definitely recommend to stay here

Worst hotel I have ever booked. They were not ready for us when we arrived despite it being at 11:00 pm and after a 12 hour drive to get there. Room had not been vacuumed. something had spilled in the refrigerator and not cleaned, the door to one of the cabinets was completely torn off and laying next to the unit. The room smelled like smoke and the A/C was not working. The maintenance employee sent to look at it knocked on the door holding a plastic food container, eating food and was literally licking his fingers. I could not tell if he was an employee or guest as he was wearing a dirty t-shirt and a pair of athletic shorts. Said he just dragged the unit up to the room a couple hours ago and then proceeded to kick it and push it with his leg in an effort, I guess, to get it working? Eventually another woman came to the door, again could not tell if she worked there or not, asked if we wanted another room so that we would not be sweating all night with no AC. We were already on the phone looking for another hotel but in the mean time were taken down to another room and said the maintenance guy would bring the key to us to get in. However, 20 minutes later, after not seeing anyone else from the hotel, we had secured another room and went to the front desk and informed them that we were leaving. On our way out of the parking lot, we did see out maintenance guy sitting on the other side of the hotel hanging out with a few other people. So much for getting the key. We had already decided could not stay here by that point so that was irrelevant at that point. Just another data point to tell you how bad this place was. It is not worth the time or aggravation at any price for this place. We ended up 30 minutes further away than where we wanted to be but in a much nicer place.

I hate writing negative reviews. However I know I rely on honest reviews when making my own reservations. I had tried to work things out first with the hotel, but they did not follow up after more than a few weeks so I am here. Sadly this place was fine when I stayed a year ago. This time, my room was not clean. It appeared clean on entry with clean folded towels, and made beds. I spent my first hours at the desk. By the time I went to shower and bed it was after midnight. First, I went to lay something on top of the toilet but it was dusty/hair. While doing toileting my eyes fell asleep the ground under the sink…there was dried “junk” from what looking like a human under there and the corners 5 inches thick with trash —hair and other gross stuff that looked like something where someone lived there a few weeks or months and hadn’t tidied up yet. It got worse from there. I opened the shower curtain to hairs (pubs?chest? Head?) all over tub bottom, resting surface and wall. Thankfully I had shoes with me that I ended up wearing to shower. After making it through I went to go to bed and pulled back corners and you guessed it—more hair. It was a 2 bed room so thankfully the other bed was clean. It was too late and too tired to go to the desk and try and get another room. However I was supposed to stay 2 nights and dropped it to the one. I asked if I could have 50% off or a comped night as it was that bad. No manager in that day and wouldn’t be for days. A nice girl named Charmi apologized and said she couldn’t do anything without manager other than move me to a different room. I told her I couldn’t trust that it would be clean or have time to go room to room. Meanwhile a large man who appeared to work maintenance or something there stared me uncomfortably down while I spoke with the desk. No way would I stay another night. Charmi was kind and said they’d follow up with me, but never did. So for those doing business, or visiting family, I recommend the Hampton Inn down the street above this one.
