Cold and I mean COLD showers
Comfortable beds, pretty quiet, and great location for visiting USC. The reason I can't give it more than 3 stars is the cold shower. I stayed here for four nights, and I showered morning and night, and every time the water was cold. Cold is relative, and I like a very hot shower, but this was cold cold. I called the desk and they said they'd send maintenance but nothing changed. They also said they were fully booked so that might be why. So either they aren't fixing a problem or they have insufficient water heaters and don't really care. Either way, I froze myself twice daily for a week. I got my thermometer from my first aid kit to see just how cold it was, and it was too cold to register on a medical thermometer, which means it was 89 or cooler, so basically the temperature of your average swimming pool. Which is fine for a swimming pool but TERRIBLE for a hotel shower.

The hotel was beautiful and its location was in perfect proximity to the University of South Carolina to make it walkable. The parking was free but perhaps the only negative of the place as the parking spots were very, very small and the lanes tight. Thank goodness for backup cameras! Everyone I saw took about five tries to get into a spot. But the rooms were clean and well appointed - ours even had a microwave and a coffee maker.

Taken aback by kindness and attentiveness of staff
Literally every single person we encountered who worked at this Courtyard was beyond helpful. The staff who walks around making sure everything is fine (nice man showed us how to work our door), lady setting up Happy Hour brought my husband a water for no reason, guy at the coffee bar extra nice and helpful, cleaning ladies. I was just a bit taken aback by the extra that they all did. Wasn't expecting it and I rarely write reviews. Perfect location for USC or a show at Koger Theater, which is why we were there. Bed super comfy, snacks downstairs. Two thumbs up for those extraordinary people!
