Lakeside Lodge Clemson

This is our fourth stay visiting our now Freshman Clemson college student . This property has gone downhill super fast . Rooms are dirty, have cobwebs, dead bugs and if you have an outside entry they are so damp and musty to the point where your hanging clothes get damp. There is no maid service for some odd reason so you are left with dirty towels , sheets etc for the remainder of your stay . The front desk staff has zero professionalism and appear as if it’s always their first day of work. We know the hotels book up super fast especially during football weekends but the fact that they charge $700 plus a night during these weekends is absolutely absurd. I booked this weekend 5 plus months ago and insisted on an interior room and they “couldn’t make it happen” This will most likely be our last stay here .

Lakeside Lodge has a great Restaurant not affiliated with the Lodge. The condo/ hotel rooms are large and the kitchens are well equipped. The pool area is very nice. However, that is where the nice ends. The traffic noise and freight train noise is very loud. The Lodge is very dirty. The balcony was full of bug droppings and cobwebs. We saw two live roaches in our bathroom. Our dryer stopped working. I reported it, but it was never repaired. Building 3 looks like a military barracks. It has a bare concrete hallways with painted plywood walls.

check in very good, easy...room easy, rooms clean,hallways not, looks unfinished, ice only available through restaurant, very inconvient, poor, no towel hooks in bathroom, electrical outlet bathroom not working, front came and fixed it but went out again!was toldby one of the hostesses(nicely)that they didn't take reservations for two people but it shouldnot be a problem later.We did come back later, ordered drinks at the bar and took them outside as he suggested since the dining room was busy with prom and others. There were numerous empty tables ouside, we sat at a two top and enjoyed our cocktails.afterwards I went to the hostess station to inquire about a table for dinner, abruptly told that we should not been there and that it would be at least an hour wait for a table. I pointed out to her that there were at least six empty tables outside, including three two tops and no one waiting inside except the three hostesses chatting. Her attitude quickly became more unreasonable and hostile. I paid our bar bill (nice tip

Very nice hotel on Lake Hartwell. It is close to Clemson, shopping and restaurants. Rooms are large and great value for the price. Nice swimming pool and fire pit outside. Traditions is a very nice restaurant within the lobby. This hotel is also pet friendly!

This is a place where the locals go to show their face on the weekends. If you check in on a Friday, you are treated like gold. The rest of week not so much. There is no laundry on site. You can't smoke on the property, but the workers were smoking by the garbage bin 200 ft from the door. No breakfast available but there is brunch on the weekend. The pool bar, only open on the weekend. You have to request for someone to open the pool towels during the week. It's located right next to a outlet mall. Stay at the Best Western Plus up the street. The restaurant has good food, but it's ridiculously expensive.
