Our take
I would book The Shepherd Hotel when you want to be in downtown Clemson with restaurants within a short walk. The restaurant and bar cover the evening, parking is free, and the waterfront park is a pleasant walk on the morning after the game. A 9.4 rating from guests is hard to argue with. Game weekends fill Clemson quickly, so reserve early and plan your route to Memorial Stadium.

Why guests love itThe Shepherd Hotel is a 4-star hotel in downtown Clemson, with a restaurant, a bar and free parking. Local places to eat are a short walk away and Larry W. Abernathy Waterfront Park is about a 10-minute stroll, which gives families something to do on the day before or after a game at Memorial Stadium. Guests rate it 9.4 across more than 170 reviews, and I would choose it for its downtown position.
