leanpig Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 :) Valentine's Day Weekend, wanted a getaway with my sweetheart. Landed the Marriott in Spartanburg (one hour from home) for $45 per night. Tried 3* in Greenville for $40 and didn't get bid. Tried $40 in Greenville and Spartanburg for $40 per night with no luck. So upped bid to $45 and got this beautiful hotel with great staff.It really isn't close to mall or restaurants, but is close to Converse College and Spartanburg Auditorium.Felt it was a great deal about 5 miles from interstate. Would be a great conference location. Link to comment

SCPigskinPrep Com Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 The Marriott in my hometown of Spartanburg is a new hotel and a great property.Unfortunately they are struggling with room bookings. The meeting space is staying booked with dances, weddings, recitals, meetings but the hotel room occupancy rate is less than 50% year to date.Priced at normal $109 is a little strong for the market even for a Marriott. Priceline rooms SHOULD always be available here for $40 or so. I booked 4 rooms here last month for out of town guest and got 2 for $40 and 2 for $30. Dates were 1/21 to 1/23.The hotel is first rate and the staff incredible.Best Eats within a mile areAbby's Ellis Brothers Beacon (world famous drive in) is 2 miles away. Link to comment
