Hotel berhampiran The Big E, Cherokee County

The location is awesome.

Very clean and nice hotel. It is within walking distance to the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. The front desk staff was very helpful in answering our questions . The breakfast buffet was delicious. The staff at breakfast was kind, helpful and happy. I can say the front desk staff was kind, smiling and very professional in their jobs. They seemed happy to talk with us and make us feel welcome. If in the area again, will definitely look to stay here first before checking with another hotel.

We stay at this hotel every time we go to the upstate area. The service is excellent and the food is not too bad. We will continue to come to this hotel because of the service. I do not have any photo’s available of the room or the hotel.

I stayed in room 209 on 1/11. I woke up at midnight feeling something crawling on my neck. I brushed it off and turned on light to see a little ”beetle”. I pulled back covers to find a total of 6 on my pillow and sheets! I felt sick knowing what they must be. I immediately called the front desk and told them to come upstairs. I slid the mattress away from the headboard to discover a full INFESTATION of bed bugs on the bed skirt in all sizes and life stages! By the time the desk clerk got to my room I was grabbing my stuff to leave. She offered me another room and I declined. I immediately put all my belongings in trash bags that she provided to me and told her I expect a refund. She told me the manager would call in the morning. At 1pm on 1/12 no one had reached out to me so I called and was told the manager was in a meeting. At around 4pm I received a phone call and apology for ”you having to move to another hotel in the middle of the night” from the assistant manager. He said pest control was coming the next day to investigate and he would ”keep me updated.” I asked him if he went to my room and he said, ”Yes, but I can't tell what I'm looking at.” I said YOU'RE LOOKING AT BED BUGS! I then told him I was really surprised the manager didn't call me for something as serious as this and he said, ”I can ask the manager to call you if you'd like.” I told him NO I shouldn't have to ask for that phone call. I still haven't received an update on their findings, eventhough there is no mistaking what is in these pictures. Also, I thought I got off lucky with only 1 bite on my face that night. NOPE! 5 days later 11 itchy bites have shown up on my neck, right arm, and right breast. I was really scared that even after washing and drying everything straight from the sealed bags, I had brought some home until I googled and found out bites can take from a few days to 2 weeks to appear. I'll never get over the feelings of filth and disgust waking up to bugs crawling all over you and feeding off of you! It's sickening. I have included all the pictures but I know it can sometimes take a lot longer for them to be approved.
