Anyone From Spartanburg, SC?

[tarheelmjfan]

DH & I are meeting my Dsis in Spartanburg on our way to Charlotte. We're dropping off our DS with her. We plan to spend the night in Spartanburg. We'd like a hotel, B&B, etc., that offers room service, if possible. We'll be tired from the drive & would rather eat on property. Being close to I-85 would be a definite plus, but a nice hotel is more important. So, where should we stay?

I'm not from Spartanburg, but I work there. There is a Marriott not more than a year old, if that, that is very nice. It is on Church Street and not too far from I-85. I would try that if I were you.

My company had the Christmas party there and it was elegant and the food was delicious. It has an underground parking garage and the public areas are beautiful. I am sure the rooms are nice, too.

The only downside is there is a Krispy Kreme shop nearly across the street. Hahahaha It is also new and my DH says you can watch the donuts go through the process.

I have relatives there. For great local cuisine, go to the Beacon Drive-In. Try the sliced pork-a-plenty and some onion rings. The iced tea is glucose! Yummy! It is an experience you should try once.

Thanks, guys I was thinking the Marriott, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a gem I didn't know about. I didn't know how close it was to the interstate either.

We'll only be there one night. Maybe we can grab some lunch at Beacon Drive-In, before heading to Charlotte. We're originally from NC, & my DH likes his tea to taste like syrup. I'm not a fan of sweet tea, but he would love it. Do you happen to know, if it's close to the Marriott?

Hello. I'm in Spartanburg. The Mariott is super nice, plus they have a great bar downstairs. But it's off the interstate a bit. Right off of 1-85 business (which is right next to regular I-85) there is a Radisson that used to be Wilson World, it's pretty nice, I had my wedding reception there, has an indoor swimming pool. But don't worry about finding sweet tea, it's everywhere!

The Marriott is very nice! And that KK has a drive thru window!!!! LOL!

Also if you stayed at the Marriott, there are several restaurants within walking distance if you didnt' want to eat there. There is a Wild Wing Cafe (I woudln't do it on a weekend night though), A restaurant called Monsoon Noodle House that has some really good asian noodle dishes, and a sushi restaurant in Daniel Morgan Square.
