Abernathy Clemson (SC): Unveiling the Hidden Gem of South Carolina
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Abernathy Clemson (SC)! Forget the glossy brochures, because I'm here to give you the REAL lowdown, the unvarnished truth, the… well, you get the picture. This isn’t your grandma’s hotel review, folks. Consider this more of a… rambling, caffeinated love letter (and sometimes a rant) about a hidden gem.
First Impressions: The Charm Factor (and the Parking – Oh, the Parking!)
The first thing that hit me wasn’t the perfectly manicured landscaping (though it was nice), it was the sheer… accessibility. Let's be honest, I'm an idiot sometimes. Finding this place was a breeze, and the car park? FREE! Blessedly, gloriously free! Okay, okay, I’m getting overly excited about parking. But you try living in a city and then tell me free parking isn’t a miracle. The exterior? Clean, modern, not too in-your-face. The lobby? Welcoming, with a faint scent of… I want to say "sophistication," but probably more like “freshly cleaned.” But listen: It worked.
Accessibility: Making Life Easier (and Avoiding the Stairs!)
Now, I'm not a wheelchair user, but I am a klutz prone to clumsy moments. So, I ALWAYS appreciate a hotel with decent accessibility. Abernathy Clemson absolutely delivers. Elevator, check. Facilities for disabled guests, check. Seems like I’m covered, even if I fall down a flight of stairs tomorrow (knock on wood!). They have you covered.
Rooms: Comfort and Convenience (and the Blackout Curtains! Oh, the Glorious Blackout Curtains!)
Okay, let's talk rooms. Mine was spacious, CLEAN (and I'm a germaphobe, so I know a clean room when I see one!), and the air conditioning worked like a dream. The blackout curtains? MY GOD. Seriously, they were a game-changer. I slept like a baby, even with the Clemson cheerleaders practicing outside (kidding… mostly). Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, a MUST in today's world. And the in-room safe box? Perfect for stashing that… uh… important stuff (like extra chocolate, obviously). Interconnecting rooms were nice to see, makes me think this is a great family spot. And the bed! Perfectly firm. Not a sag in sight. Did I mention the desk? Because as an early bird, I love working from my hotel room.
The Spa (and the Sauna… And That Pool View!)
Alright, so I'm not a spa-going type (usually). But, I decided to get brave and give it a whirl. The sauna was lovely and steamy (just how I like it), and the swimming pool with a view? Seriously, stunning. The pool was clean, the water temperature was perfect, and the view… well, it made me want to stay there forever. A real escape. Don't forget the massage option! I didn't get one, but the options are there! If you can, go!
Dining and Drinking: Fueling the Adventure (and the Hangover)
Okay, so this is where things get really interesting. The restaurants within Abernathy have a LOT to offer.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Now, I'm a sucker for a good breakfast buffet. This one was solid. The coffee/tea was decent, the western breakfast items were plentiful (eggs, bacon, the usual suspects), and the Asian breakfast options were there, too (if you're into that sort of thing).
- Restaurants: There are options! A la carte, buffet, and Asian cuisine restaurants are available.
- Poolside Bar sounds lovely, though I was stuck at a desk most of the day.
- Room service [24-hour]: Need a late-night snack? They've got you covered!
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind (and Hand Sanitizer Galore!)
This is a big one, especially these days. Abernathy Clemson takes this seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer everywhere (bless!), and rooms sanitized between stays. I felt safe, which is priceless. They're doing all the right things to make you comfortable.
Things To Do (Beyond the Hotel Walls): Explore Clemson!
Okay, so the hotel is great, but let's not forget what you came here for: CLEMSON! You're not just staying at a hotel, you're setting up camp. So, location, location, LOCATION is key. And this place has it. So, get out there and explore! This is not the hotel’s fault, but the overall experience.
Services and Conveniences: Making Your Stay a Breeze (and Avoiding the Laundry Piles!)
Daily housekeeping is a gift, and I’ll take it any day. What a convenience! Laundry service? Yes, please! Dry cleaning? Absolutely! Cash withdrawal? Convenient. Concierge? They helped me with a few small tasks that really made a difference. And the elevator again! I'm obsessed, I know. Never forget that!
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun (and Maybe a Little Sleep for Mom and Dad!)
They have babysitting services, kids meals, and the place is generally very family-friendly. This is a good sign! So, parents: You've got options. Enjoy!
Getting Around: Easy Peasy (and No More Lost Keys!)
Car park [free of charge]! (Sorry, I had to say it again). They also have taxi service and airport transfer. Everything is just… easy.
The Imperfections (Because Every Hotel Isn't Perfect, And That's OKAY)
Okay, here's the honest truth: No hotel is perfect. I did hear a few noises from the hallway one night (mostly people laughing, and maybe a little too much celebrating). And the coffee at the breakfast buffet? Could be better. But these were minor blips on an otherwise fantastic stay.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to embark on a chaotic, slightly-unhinged journey through… wait for it… Abernathy, Clemson, South Carolina! This isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram travel blog, this is the raw, unfiltered reality. Let’s see if I can even remember how to write a coherent itinerary. (Spoiler alert: probably not.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Ghosts of Tiger Stadium (and My Luggage’s Existential Crisis)
8:00 AM: Arrive at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP). Whee! Or, you know, ugh. The anticipation before a trip is always better than the actual "getting there" part, you know? Luggage carousel = my nemesis. Praying my bag actually shows up, especially since packing for "Clemson in October" is like guessing the weather forecast. It's either 80 degrees and humid, or 40 and rainy. Or both. Simultaneously.
8:30 AM: Rental car pickup. Praying the car’s AC works. There's a chance for a bad mood from the outset. And trying not to get swindled. Which is always my goal.
9:30 AM: Drive to Abernathy. This is where the real "adventure" starts. Driving the scenic route might include seeing a farmer’s field, and I can picture it.
10:30 AM: Check into the hotel, which will be… whatever place let me book with a credit card. Let's hope it's not haunted. I’m kidding… mostly. Because I will probably feel like I'm in a horror movie by noon.
11:00 AM: Unpack (the bag did come!). Realize I forgot my… my everything. That's a classic. Time to hit the local Walgreens in a panic.
12:00 PM: Wander Clemson. Grab a bite to eat. Something local, preferably a BBQ joint. If I find one. If I can. I'm a sucker for good barbeque. And sweet tea. And coleslaw. I guess I'll have to "find" the place.
2:00 PM: Tiger Stadium Pilgrimage! This! THIS! Oh, my God, the holy ground. Even if you're not a Clemson fan, you feel something when you're there. It's just electric. The sheer size of the place is intimidating. The history is palpable. The memories… well, I'm sure the ghost of legendary coach, Danny Ford, is somewhere in the rafters, yelling at someone to run a play. Me, I'll probably just tear up a little. Okay, maybe a lot. I get emotional at sports venues; it's a problem.
- Anecdote: Last time I visited, a random guy started telling me about the 1981 National Championship game, and I was immediately hooked even though I was still in college. So yeah, I might become obsessed with something random like that.
4:00 PM: Stadium tour. I'm ready to be disappointed by the reality of the whole thing, that it looks less impressive than I remember. But I'm hoping I'm wrong!
6:00 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant. Hoping for a good meal, and some good company.
8:00 PM: Beer at a local establishment and watch the game if it's on.
- Observation: I bet the beer will be cheap and the conversation will be amazing (and sometimes terrible).
Day 2: Nature, History, Mild Panic, and the Quest for Caffeine
8:00 AM: Wake up, maybe. Coffee, STAT. The hotel coffee will probably be… well, it'll be coffee. But it's not the same.
9:00 AM: Explore the Clemson University Botanical Garden. Maybe I can get some nice pictures, if my phone doesn’t immediately decide to die. I'm not a huge “nature person,” but even I can appreciate a beautiful garden, right? Probably a nice way to stretch my legs and pretend I’m cultured.
11:00 AM: Visit the Fort Hill Plantation. The old house of John C. Calhoun, an old historical figure. I like history museums, but can you learn something from this site? I'm ready to find out. I hope it's not too boring, honestly.
1:00 PM: Lunch in town. Try something different! Maybe a sandwich. It's just lunch.
2:00 PM: Drive around the campus. I might get lost, probably will. It's inevitable. I'll act like I didn't notice when I had drive by somewhere 20 times.
4:00 PM: Visit the local library. I'm not really a library person, but maybe I'll find something interesting there.
6:00 PM: Dinner at another local restaurant. This time, I'm going to experiment! Maybe… Thai food? Or Mexican? My stomach is already churning in anticipation.
8:00 PM: Relax. Watch TV. Take a bath. Get some rest. Get ready for more exploring.
Day 3: Departure (and the lingering scent of BBQ)
7:00 AM: Wake up with a new attitude. Breakfast. Coffee. Maybe the hotel has decent waffles? This is important.
8:00 AM: REPEAT VISIT TO TIGER STADIUM! (Yes, really.) I might spend the entire morning just… soaking it up. It’s just that good. This place is not just a stadium, it's a cathedral of football. And honestly, I might still feel a little overwhelmed.
- Rant: Look, some people might think it's weird to go back to the same place, but it is just that good. It's like… comfort food for my soul. It's like… an obsession.
10:00 AM: One last Clemson souvenir shop run. Buying the things.
11:00 AM: Check out of the hotel. Sad face emoji.
12:00 PM: Lunch. One last BBQ sandwich, I hope. And sweet tea, of course.
1:00 PM: Drive to GSP. Waving goodbye to the beautiful scenery.
2:00 PM: Return the rental car. The car is gone from my life. What a ride.
3:00 PM: Airport security. Brace myself for the inevitable frustrations. Shoes off!
4:00 PM: Flight home. Reflecting on the utter chaos, the beauty, the sheer Clemson-ness of it all.
8:00 PM: Back home! Ready to start planning the next trip.
Emotional Reaction: Feeling an overwhelming sense of… content, exhaustion, and the need to come back.
Observation: Everything in Abernathy is a little bit… Southern. And I love it.
Quirky Observation: I'll probably end up spending way more time staring at the giant Tiger paw than a sane person should.
Imperfection Alert: I'll inevitably forget something important, get lost at least once, and probably spend too much money on souvenirs. But hey, that's life!
Rambling Anticipation: I cannot wait to go back one day.
And that, my friends, is my slightly deranged, entirely honest, and hopefully entertaining itinerary for a trip to Abernathy, Clemson, South Carolina. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to start packing. Wish me luck! And Go Tigers!
