We stayed in a two room suite with our grandchildren. The room was very spacious with a kitchenette (microwave, sink, mini-fridge). Perfect for our family with couch, two tv's. Two rollaway beds were provided free. Very nice pool and hot tub. The rooms, lobby and other areas were very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Ethan. We would definitely stay here again!

Carson and Ethan at the front desk were so hospitable and accommodating. This was our second time here, and I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

We recently stayed at the Clemson Martin Inn and really enjoyed our visit. The hotel itself is lovely—comfortable, clean, and in a beautiful setting. The on-site restaurant, Solé on the Green, was fantastic! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and we loved being able to dine outdoors while taking in the wonderful view. Our room accommodations were good overall, but the in-room coffee pot was broken. Despite asking daily during our four-day stay for it to be replaced, it never was. After our trip, I spoke with management, and they were extremely gracious and understanding—especially recognizing how important that first cup of coffee is in the morning! They offered a fair and reasonable resolution, which I appreciated. All in all, a great stay and a place we’d return to—hopefully next time with a working coffee pot ready to brew.

The property is absolutely beautiful. The golf green is a sight to see. The pool is pretty. The beds are comfortable. Furniture is a little old and the leather is peeling but other than that the rooms are nice. Wonderful water pressure and temperature in the shower. My group of over over 20 people arrived & all of the room cards were ready. The two young men at the front desk were on the phone when we got there helping other customers but when either myself or another one of my party tried to ask a question they didn't even acknowledge us. They didn't even say I'll be with you in a moment or anything just completely ignored us. I took a picture of one of the young men and it's posted here. I didn't get their names. Tyler on the other hand was very helpful. Big Thank you to him!

If you’re a parent or alumni visiting this hotel is definitely worth it. I got to stay here as a part of an event, so fortunately cost was not an issue for me. It is very close to Clemson University and its downtown area. Walkable if you’re someone who doesn’t mind a 20-30 minute walk! Personally I thought it was very manageable. Rooms were very clean and towels and bedding were refreshed daily without issues. Of course this is a higher establishment so that was minimum expectation. Golf course is right on property, and the views outside are gorgeous with the water right there. Many cute places to lounge outside, and a fee pathways to walk on. Very nice pool, unfortunately it was too cold during my stay to use it.
