“decent hotel with a couple of MAJOR annoyances.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2008

My wife was a bit skeptical about staying at this hotel because back in the 80's, when she was a student at Carolina, the hotel was owned by the university and used as a training facility for the hospitality management program. Back then the place was a complete dump. I talked her into staying there this weekend based on positive... More

“Beautifully Renovated, Great Location, but one big drawback!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 21, 2008

Stayed three nights. Hotel is very nice, everything is like new, it is newly renovated and it feels new. The location was great, it was an easy walk to the University of South Carolina which is why we were there. The staff was very friendly and the room was great. It had free internet, we had our laptop so we... More

2 of 5 stars Reviewed June 1, 2008

I regularly stay at Marriot Courtyards while on business trips. While this hotel had great public areas (very attractive lobby) and the rooms are renovated and comfortable, they have very substandard food service. On my first night in he hotel, I ordered room service for dinner. After taking an hour for it to arrive, the food was terrible and tasted... More

“Parking a nightmare!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 3, 2008

We stayed one night in this hotel and had no major issues. They do charge you to park in THEIR garage though which is kind of odd and a pretty steep charge on top of your room charge. One elevator in the hotel was out and the other one was very slow. Parking garage was very small would not recommend... More

“Great for a Business Trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2008

I stayed at the hotel for a few nights during the latest business trip. The hotel has been renovated very recently - and the place looks very chic and modern (exactly my slyle!) There is a very cozy bar in the lobby with a wonderful bar tender. Ask for a chocolate martini - that's her specialty. The rooms themselves were... More
