The property itself is quite nice and I appreciate their commitment to hiring students and the “spirited” nature of their business model. This was our second time staying at the hotel. Our first visit was exceptional! This visit however fell short. We had a couple of issues and rather than a manager stepping in to help, we had to navigate resolutions through the student employees (to no fault of their own). We checked in and did not want to valet bc we knew we would be in and out a lot and didn’t want to burden the valet staff. Rather than allowing us that option, they told us we had to valet or we would be towed. Not a huge deal but with the extra cost of $25/day and the aggravation of waiting for someone to bring the car around added extra time to an already busy day touring and getting our kid settled. The second day of our stay we came back to a room that was allegedly cleaned but seemed overlooked and rushed. When we asked someone to come up to the room an employee (who again appeared to be a student) wasn’t equipped with the experience or insight to handle the complaint which made pointing it out frustrating. I really think a hotel that is charging luxury rates should have a seasoned manager on duty to oversee operations especially when touting the importance of customer service. The employee who handled our cleaning issue said it was a busy weekend and they were at capacity so maybe that was part of the issue but not an excuse when paying premium prices.
We stayed here for our son’s wedding! It is a beautiful hotel and the beds were extremely comfortable! We needed that after 2 busy nights of wedding festivities!
This hotel was amazing! Everything was spotless and the service was truly impeccable. The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious…. easily some of the best I’ve had during my travels. It was hands down the best stay I’ve had in a very long time!
A special shout-out to the front desk associate, John Cobb. He was brilliant — so hospitable and welcoming. He went above and beyond to provide us with fantastic recommendations for local dining and things to do in the area, which made our trip even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to return should my son attend Clemson.
I love the location - it can't be beat if you are visiting/touring the university. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the restaurant has great food! I always love our stay at the Shepherd!
This hotel was so beautiful and the view of the city from the rooftop lounge at night was breathtaking! Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was very clean and bed was so comfy! 10/10 will stay again!
