Spartanburg Getaway: Unbelievable Deal at Four Points by Sheraton!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Spartanburg Getaway at the Four Points by Sheraton – or as I like to think of it, "Operation: Relax and Maybe Don't Burn Dinner." This is gonna be a review, but let's be real, it's gonna be more like a rambling, slightly-caffeinated conversation with a friend who's been there (and probably spilled coffee on the bedsheets).
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, But with Heart (and a Potential Pancake Disaster)
Alright, let's get the important stuff out of the way first. Accessibility: Okay, so "Facilities for disabled guests," is listed, which is a good starting point, and "Elevator" is a definite yes. That's a must. Now, I didn't personally test the full accessibility offerings, but the listed features are promising. I'd recommend calling the hotel directly and asking specific questions if accessibility is a major concern. (Pro tip: Ask about the ramps, and if there's a ramp leading to the pool, how steep it is. My grandma nearly got flung into a hotel pool—a whole story, but not for this review.)
Cleanliness and Safety: I Slept Soundly, Which is Saying Something
Look, the world is a bit… sketchy right now, right? So, I'm always on high alert when it comes to cleanliness. But this place felt… clean. The list of safety protocols is long: "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Rooms sanitized between stays," "Staff trained in safety protocol." They even have that "Room sanitization opt-out available" – a nice gesture, although it made me want to double-check everything anyway. I'm a paranoid person, what can I say? I personally appreciated all the Hand sanitizer stations scattered around, even if I did occasionally forget to use them.
…And I’m a sucker for good coffee…
And the staff were kind. I’d give the staff a gold medal in this category for being so helpful!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Buffet… Oh, the Buffet… (And My Near-Death Experience with a Croissant)
Now, THIS is where things get interesting. The "Breakfast [buffet]" is listed. Hallelujah! (Okay, I may have gotten slightly overexcited). I went in expecting a standard hotel breakfast, but this… this was a thing.
The buffet itself was a glorious sprawl of possibilities. "Asian breakfast"? Check. "Western breakfast"? Double-check! I loaded up a plate with everything imaginable: bacon, scrambled eggs, tiny pancakes… and then I saw them. A freshly-baked mountain of croissants. Golden croissants. The kind that promise buttery flakiness and pure, unadulterated joy.
I dove in.
Disaster.
The first bite was pure heaven. The second, also heavenly. The third… well, let's just say the croissant betrayed me. It crumbled, sending a cascade of flaky deliciousness all over my shirt, my face, and, tragically, into my eyes. I swear I nearly choked. It was like a pastry-fueled sandstorm of pure culinary embarrassment. But hey! Coffee/tea in restaurant was available to help me recover from that.
Despite the croissant incident, the food was… good. There's a "Coffee shop" and "Snack bar", and frankly? The coffee was decent. The "Asian cuisine" they offered was solid, and it has "Happy hour" (which is always a win).
The Room: A Perfect Blend of Comfy and… Organized Chaos (My Specialty)
Alright, the rooms! Let's talk ROOMS. Available in all rooms: Wi-Fi [free], Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Wake-up service, Window that opens.
My room was… well, it was exactly what I needed. It had a "Desk" for haphazardly setting up my laptop (and overflowing with papers). The "Air conditioning" worked like a charm, because I, even though I live in a perpetual snowglobe, love an air-conditioner to cool! Let's not forget the "Free bottled water" - a godsend after my croissant episode. As for the "Bathrobes," yeah, the robes were nice, and I wore them. The whole time. (Don’t judge).
Things to do & Ways to Relax: The Spa is Calling (and I Must Go)
Listen, I’m a stress case. So, the fact that this place offered a "Spa," "Sauna," and "Swimming pool [outdoor]" was a huge selling point for me. The chance to "Relax?" Yes, please!
Now, I didn't get around to the spa treatments, even though there were "Body scrub," "Body wrap," and "Massage" options. I did take a dip in the "Swimming pool [outdoor]!" It was perfect. I'm all about the pool with a view, and with the open feel of the pool, I loved it! The "Poolside bar" was not to be missed!
Services and Conveniences: From Daily Housekeeping to… Well, More Coffee
"Daily housekeeping?" Yes, please. "Concierge"? Sure, why not. I, however, used the "Convenience store" way more. (Emergency snacks, people! You never know.) Also, "Laptop workspace"? That made my work so much easier.
For the Kids: Babysitting Service? Tell me More!
Okay, listen: "Babysitting service"? I don’t have kids, but if you've got 'em? That's a massive bonus.
Getting Around: Parking is Free! (My Wallet Applauds)
"Car park [free of charge]" is listed. Hallelujah! (My wallet just did a little happy dance.)
The Verdict: A Solid Spartanburg Getaway, With Buffets and Croissant Battles
Overall, the Four Points by Sheraton Spartanburg exceeded my expectations. It’s a solid choice for a relaxing getaway, but with all these features, it might be hard to leave. Sure, it has a few quirks (like the croissant incident. I’m still recovering), but it hits the sweet spot between comfort, convenience, and a genuine attempt at making you feel… well, not stressed, which is something I always appreciate.

Escape to Paradise: Italy's Hidden Hotel Weingarten Awaits
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is… my attempt to survive and maybe, just maybe, enjoy a trip to the Four Points by Sheraton in Spartanburg, South Carolina. And trust me, surviving is a legitimate goal.
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread in the Palmetto State (and the Pool) – Maybe
- 1:00 PM: Flight lands in Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP). Already regretting wearing this blazer. It’s hot here. And I’m just a sweaty mess. First impressions of South Carolina: humidity. Humidity that feels like it's actively trying to suffocate me.
- 1:45 PM: Uber to the Four Points. The driver, bless his heart, was a sweet old fella named Earl. He gave me a running commentary on the history of every gas station we passed. Turns out, Spartanburg's got a surprising amount of gas station history. Who knew?
- 2:30 PM: Check-in. The lobby is… fine. Beige. Slightly sterile but hey, the A/C is working! Immediately feel the need to immediately locate water. My brain is a desert right now.
- 3:00 PM: Hotel Room Reconnaissance. Standard. The mini-fridge is empty. This feels like a missed opportunity. And, who put the coffee maker so far from the outlet? The struggle is real people, it’s real.
- 3:30 PM onward: The Pool Predicament. Okay, so I intended to hit the pool. I packed a swimsuit! The intent was there. But, the thought of exposing my pale, winter-worn body to the judgmental gaze of…well, everyone… is… intimidating. Maybe I’ll just "work on my tan" in my room, aka, read a book under the AC.
- 6:00 PM: Food. Okay, time to eat. The hotel restaurant looks… decent. Debating between "decent" and the sheer terror of driving in a strange place. I'll report back on the culinary peril. Or… maybe I'll order pizza. The siren song of delivery is strong. Wish me luck.
- 7:00 PM: Post-Dinner Musing (or, You Know, Watching TV And Avoiding Human Contact): I ordered greasy pizza. It was… glorious. And then I watched three episodes of something on TV. Existential dread successfully averted…for now.
- 8:30 PM: Am I going to the pool? I'm still not sure. It's a moral dilemma, a sartorial quandary, a battle of wills. The answer: Probably not. I'm going to read.
- Before Bed: Okay, maybe I glanced at the pool from my window. Is that considered "being in the pool?" I think I deserve a medal if so.
Day 2: Spartanburg Adventures (and Some Serious Coffee Deprivation)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Realize I've forgotten to pack coffee. Disaster. Total. Catastrophe. This is a HUGE problem.
- 7:30 AM: Attempt to fashion coffee from questionable hotel free coffee. FAIL. Absolute failure. I'm starting to see colors.
- 8:00 AM: BREAKFAST. Okay, I gave in and went to the hotel's breakfast. The continental breakfast was…fine. The waffle maker was broken. You know, this kind of sets the tone for the rest of the day - "Everything is fine, and it's okay, and not broken."
- 9:00 AM: Driving. The task of the day. I'm trying to get to, and back from, a place. Let's see how I go.
- 9:30 AM: Visit Historical Downtown Spartanburg. It's… nice. I wandered around, pretending to be interested in the architecture. I am interested in coffee. But I am distracted by the general sense of being a tourist. That's always weird, right?
- 12:00 PM: LUNCH! I found a spot! Turns out, it was like, really good. Who knew Spartanburg could be this exciting? I'm starting to think that maybe, just maybe, I won't be returning to my room to hide from the world.
- 1:30 PM: Coffee! Finally. Found a coffee shop. That, ladies and gentlemen, was worth the entire trip.
- 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: The Hub City Railroad Museum: (This is where it gets messy). Okay, here's the thing. As I approached this museum, I was kind of "Ugh, is there any real reason to visit this place?" I'm in a bad mood, because I had to get out of my room. And then…
- The emotional rollercoaster:
- I walked into this place and found an absolute, amazing place - and it actually kind of hit me, hard. The museum was packed with model trains, and historical artifacts. The volunteers were amazing and passionate. I was honestly, completely moved, and almost cried. I was not expecting that. I am not an emotional person, but I was genuinely blown away, by the amount of work, the dedication, and the incredible story that those trains told. Seriously, go.
- I walked out of that museum with a whole new appreciation for trains, history, and the kindness of strangers. I also found out that I may have a new hobby.
- 5:00 PM: Debriefing, with some ice cream.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a local place. The food was good, but I was still running high on the train museum experience.
- 8:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Maybe the pool tomorrow. Maybe.
Day 3: Departure and a Touch of Southern Charm… Maybe? And, the Pool!
- 7:00 AM: Coffee! I found some in a package. A miracle!
- 8:00 AM: The Pool! I went to the pool and it was kinda gross.
- 9:00 AM: Check out. Goodbye, Spartanburg.
- 10:00 AM: Drive to the airport.
- 10:30 AM: Security is smooth. That’s good.
- 11:00 AM: Flight, and I’m home.
I know this isn't a perfect travel itinerary. There are gaps, emotional outbursts, and a distinct lack of perfect planning. But, hey, that's life, right? Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes you almost cry in a railroad museum. Until next time, Spartanburg!

Spartanburg Getaway: Four Points by Sheraton - Seriously, is this for real?! (And other burning questions...)
Okay, so… Spartanburg. Really? What's EVEN in Spartanburg? I’ve heard… things.
Alright, alright, settle down, map-averse friend. Yes, Spartanburg. Look, I'm not gonna lie, my first thought was also, "Spartan-WHAT-now?" But here's the deal: this Four Points deal is so ridiculously cheap, you kinda *have* to overlook the location. Think of it as an adventure! A chance to *discover* something new! Or, you know, just unwind in relative peace and quiet.
Spartanburg actually has a surprisingly vibrant downtown area, complete with breweries, quirky shops, and restaurants that are way better than I expected (trust me, my expectations were LOW). There's also a great, old-school diner, "The Beacon," that serves up the most insane onion rings you've ever seen. Seriously, prepare yourself. It’s a whole *experience*. And if you're a car buff, the BMW Zentrum is right there, too. I spent half a day drooling... or maybe that was just the onion rings.
The Deal Itself: What's Actually Included? Like, is it just a room with a creaky bed and a mini-fridge filled with disappointment?
Alright, listen up, because this is important. The website *says* the deal includes a room (duh), some free breakfast (score!), and… well, things vary. Read the FINE PRINT, people! That's where they get you. Sometimes it's just the bare bones; a place to sleep with questionable WiFi. Other times, it's a real steal with a pool and a gym. I once booked a "deal" that promised a complimentary bottle of wine. Turned out to be a teeny, tiny bottle of the cheapest stuff imaginable. I ended up buying my own. The point is: READ THE DETAILS! Don't be like me, nursing a glass of regret in a tiny plastic wine glass.
Pro-Tip: Check the hotel reviews *before* you book. Google Maps is your friend. I’ve saved myself from some truly horrific hotel experiences that way.
What's the Catch? There's ALWAYS a catch, right? Is it a timeshare presentation disguised as a vacation? Is there a weird smell? Spill.
Okay, you cynical little devils, I get it. We've all been burned by "too good to be true" offers. Honestly? Sometimes there *is* a catch. It could be limited availability (book IMMEDIATELY if you see a date you like!), or it could be that the "free" breakfast is just stale muffins and lukewarm coffee. I can't promise you *won't* encounter a weird smell. Hotels have *history*, people.
I wouldn't expect a timeshare scam, though. Four Points by Sheraton is generally a reliable brand. But ALWAYS be prepared. I carry my own air freshener, just in case. And a spare roll of toilet paper. You never know.
Speaking of Rooms... What's the 'Vibe'? Should I expect a sterile, corporate box or something a little… cozier (or at least not actively depressing)?
Alright, room ambiance. This can be a crapshoot. Four Points leans on the business-y side; clean and functional, but not exactly, you know, *romantic*. Don't expect plush robes and a view of the Eiffel Tower. You're probably getting a window overlooking the parking lot.
My advice? Lower your expectations, pack a scented candle and a good book... and embrace the utilitarian. You're there for the deal, remember? Not for interior design awards.
The Breakfast. The MOST Important Meal, obviously. What are we talking about here? Continental? Full-On Buffet Carnage?
Oh, the breakfast. This is where things can get REALLY interesting. Continental is the most likely scenario. Think: bagels, muffins, maybe some sad looking fruit salad (again, lower those expectations), coffee, juice... the usual. Sometimes you get lucky with a waffle maker, which is a *win* in my book. I LOVE a waffle.
Now, if you're truly lucky (and this is rare with these deals), they might have a full buffet. If so, brace yourself for potential buffet etiquette violations. I once saw a guy use his bare hands to grab a sausage. I swear, my stomach turned. I stuck to the waffles after that. Always be vigilant, people! Wash your damn hands!
Okay, I'm sold (kinda). Tell me *specifically* about your *own* experiences with this deal. The good, the bad, and the hilariously awkward. Lay it on me.
Alright, buckle up, because this is where it gets real. I've booked these "deals" a *lot*.
The Good: One time, I got an absolutely *amazing* room for $50 a night. Included a pool, a decent gym, and the breakfast was actually pretty good! Fresh fruit! REAL coffee! I felt like a freaking KING. I spent the weekend reading books by the pool and just… relaxing. It was glorious. I even had a surprisingly decent burger at a local pub I found. It was an unexpected pocket of serenity. That’s the magic of these deals: sometimes, they just… work.
The Bad: Oh, where do I even begin? One time, the air conditioner in my room sounded like a jet engine taking off. I called the front desk three times before they finally sent someone up. They tinkered with it for about five minutes and declared it "fixed." It was not. I spent the night sweating and listening to the incessant roar. Another time, my "free" parking turned out to be a muddy, unpaved lot a block away. Let's just say my shoes weren't too happy about that.
The Hilariously Awkward: Okay, so picture this. I was at the breakfast buffet, eyeing the waffle maker like a starving lion. This lady, maybe pushing seventy, cuts me off, *with her plate already full of waffles*. And she just stands there, hovering, like she’s expecting the waffle maker to give her a personal performance. I swear she was there for ten minutes, slowly eating her waffles, while everyone else just stood there, STARVING for a crispy circle of goodness, until finally she just… left. I’m still convinced she was a plant, sent by Big Waffle to destabilize the common folk.
Given ALL of that... Would you recommend this Spartanburg Getaway to, like, *anyone*?
Look, here's the truth: if you're looking for a luxurious, pampered experience, this probably isn'tPopular Hotel Find
