“The Abernathy positions itself as a social hub near Clemson University, offering comfortable rooms and a lively bar scene. While most of the staff seem committed to Southern hospitality, a few reports suggest inconsistencies, particularly with evening service. I think its location and amenities make it a good base for exploring the area, but be sure to manage expectations.”
