Hampton Inn & Suites Greenville Downtown Riverplace

Great location, high end feel, great breakfast that actually lingered beyond the end time and great room with friendly staff. I will stay again for sure.

Nicest hampton inn in which I’ve stayed.

Stayed here 2 nights and found the annoying soap dish to be the worst part of our stay.

Edit: I originally posted this as a 1 of 5 stars when I brought this issue (see below) up to the front desk. When we checked out the staff apologized for the state of the room and offered a reduced rate. I really appreciated that they took the extra step to improve our experience. Additionally, the breakfast at this hotel is very good.
Original:
Bedroom smelled like an ash tray even though the whole floor is non smoking. I brought this up to the front desk and they said my room was located above the designated smoking area and there was nothing they could do about it. I would not recommend staying here.

Clean, great staff, and the location is perfect. Service charges for valet overnight were a super cheap 15 $
Coming from New Orleans, we were very surprised by the rates of the hotel and area. Very pleased with our balcony room!

In the race for best hotel downtown, the Hampton loses. I kept giving them tries as I’m a loyal Hilton Honors guy, but the lack of hot water is a deal killer for me.
The tiny pillows I could look past but 95 degree water in the shower. .. Not going to cut it. I assume they are skimping on delivering hot water for economic reasons, but I’d gladly pay more for it!
The Courtyard up the street is typically cheaper and is definitely nicer, and they have hot water. My last time (literally) at the Hampton I was to be there 4 nights but after the first night, I checked out and went to the courtyard. My he restaurant and the amenities at the Courtyard just far outpace the tiny lobby and lackluster Hampton breakfast.
Yes, it’s location is nice and I liked to be able to go running bring right on the river, but that can be found at the Courtyard as well. Oh well. It still gets 3 stars for being clean and nice, plus, some people may like a Luke warm shower in the winter.

This is a five-​star Hampton from the front desk service to the breakfast area, quality of the rooms and cleanliness. Great people great breakfast great rooms.

SECOND ANNUAL Greenville Small Plates Crawl, March 24 – 26, 2015 … same 2 couples same great place to stay (read my review for March 2014). This Hampton at RiverPlace is a gem that is in the moderate to pricey range for Greenville, depending on the season! Every word written last year still applies to this Hampton property.
GREAT BREAKFASTS, good amenities, choice location adjacent to the Reedy River… just a short walk from the swinging bridge over the river on the far side of S. Main from the Hampton. Great walking trails along the River.
Shopping, dining, entertainment venues, and points of interest all along the historic Main Street district. FIFTEEN of the 24 participating restaurants in the 2015 crawl were on… or just off of… MAIN STREET. Also worth noting… there are probably more than TWICE that number of restaurants to select from for delicious dining options along Main Street.
Greenville is a cultural mecca throughout the year, & this Hampton is only a few steps from theatre, vocal performance, and symphony orchestra venues. Check Greenville & Hampton RiverPlace out!

Great location, right on the river front and walking distance to all shops, restaurants, and walking trails. The continental breakfast was also great! Slept like a baby and enjoyed the mini fridge and microwave in each room.

The Hampton Inn on Riverplace has a fantastic location on the river in downtown. There is valet or self parking in the garage. The hotel is fairly new and clean. The rooms relatively quiet and very comfortable. My door did rattle a bit when others closed there doors, not sure why. The service is very friendly and efficient and helpful. There are different price rooms depending on whether you face the river and/​or have a balcony so if this important to you, definitely ask about it when your reserve your room. You step out the door and descend stone steps to the Falls Park River walk. Passing art studios, water fall fountains and restaurants you cross a small pedestrian bridge to the downtown area or the west end restaurants. Greenville has so many restaurants, coffee places and shops all within a couple of blocks. Everyone is out walking with their dogs and it has a very vibrant feel with small town charm. This hotel will put you in the middle of it all while still providing a new, clean and quiet place to stay. This is a great location and hotel — I will be back!!!

On this particular trip we had been backpacking in the mountains of South Carolina. Tuesday morning our last day on the trail a bad storm came in. We hiked in the rain 7 miles to get to our car. We then drove another hour to get to the hotel. We were exhausted and looked pretty rough. Several months prior. I had reserved a king suite with a balcony directly on the river. We were very excited to get there and had great expectations of our visit.
That changed when we walked in the front lobby. First we were not greeted by the valet he just looked at us funny. The front desk staff were on the phone and I waited patiently until they were finished. We were not wet or dirty my hair was messy and I was in flops a T shirt and shorts. I am a native Floridian that’s what we wear. I was disorganized and did not have my identification or credit card handy. When I finally got my ID out the clerk identified my reservation and then asked for my credit card. Of which I can’t find! So frustrated aggravated and exhausted by now I just wanted them to charge it to the card that I reserved the room with and allow me to go to my room. Instead they’re looking at me like I was a homeless person and treating me as such.
I found my cc and handed it to the clerk she swiped it and told me that the card was denied. No way! there was more than enough money to pay for the room in that acct. I gave her another card same thing denied. This was crazy now there are other guest arriving to check in. This is getting ridiculous. Now we hv 3 clerks behind the desk telling me that we can’t check in. So I hand them $ 400.00 in cash and all of a sudden my Credit card went thur for the remaining balance. What a coincidence. Really this was Pretentious bullshit. They are Snobby judgmental asses they absolutely had no idea who I was. They were judging me solely on what I looked like and I was Definitely having a bad day. However that does not give them the right to treat me so poorly. I almost felt like a criminal trying to check into a room that i had not reserved. I was shocked to be treated in that manner by a Hilton family hotel. I’m sure if I had not arrived at that hotel missing my reservation they would’ve charged my credit card for the full amount without swiping it.
I understand the need to keep riffraff out of a fine hotel. I was obviously not riffraff however I was treated poorly and I am highly disappointed in my treatment at the Hampton River Pl., Greenville, SC. My wife and I will not recommend or ever visit this hotel again.
The king suite with a balcony facing the river is not worth the money you spend. The balcony is very small and has only one chair. Really one chair!!! I give it one star for the cleanliness of the room and the comfortable bed.

In town for a training. This is an awesome hotel in an amazing location. Will def stay again to make more use of the nearby river walk and parks. Walking distance to restaurants, coffee, & shopping. My only complaint is the parking. Parking is def at a premium here. Guests are already paying $ 129+ per night, then are charged an additional $ 6 for parking. Seems the hotel could absorb that.

I cannot think of one disagreeable thing about this Hampton Inn. For this level hotel, 5 stars is appropriate. The location along the river in downtown is scenic and fun. From my window, I could see the amphitheater, a really cool party venue which is the shell of an old factory and the Riverwalk and trail. The room was clean and comfortable. Any staff person with whom I interacted was helpful and courteous. Something really remarkable was they actually offered healthy breakfast options. Whole grain cereal, prepared oatmeal and lots of fruit complimented the hot breakfast options as well. Greenville, SC is a really nice city and this hotel is right in the middle of the action.

Excellent hotel! Location location location– it was perfect. Right downtown off the river and Main Street. We walked everywhere– right into Falls Park and Liberty Bridge, restaurants, hiking and running trails, art museums are a quick 10 – 15 minute walk, and evening park entertainment. Parking is only $ 6/​day, breakfast was fresh, great
offerings, and wonderful service. Front desk staff were courteous and everyone was smiling all the time. Our room had 2 queen beds and the room was incredibly spacious, about 25% larger than typical hotel rooms. Clean and very well kept.

I spent two nights at Hampton Inn Riverplace in Greenville this past weekend for a family wedding. Everything about the hotel was top notch. The staff was helpful, the rooms were comfortable and immaculate, and the breakfast bar offered many options.
However, I am compelled to write concerning the lack of security within the guest rooms, when staying with children. My husband and I had a 24-​month-​old and a three-​year-​old with us. Both children were able to open the locked door to the room and get out into the hallway. The piece of hardware installed on the door frame, which rotates to allow the door to either open freely, or only open an inch or so, is mounted low enough for a three year old to reach it. In addition to the fact that very young children can leave the guest room at will, the elevator does not require a guest key card.
I have emailed the manager of this hotel concerning this hazard and feel confident changes will be made to ensure the safety of young children staying in the guest rooms. When I learn that this problem has been solved, I will change my review.

Great location and newly remodeled. So nice to walk out the lobby door and be so near restaurants, Falls Park and riverwalk. Most of the rooms have been remodeled so bathrooms were very nice. I didn’t give it more starts mainly because it seemed carpet nor the mattresses had been replaced. Also lobby was small and no in hotel bar. The included breakfast was slightly better than most hotel breakfasts, but still nothing special. All in all a good place to stay but not outstanding.

Amazing location!!!
The city has a splendor to it that I didn’t expect. Great service. Large, clean and well crafted suite. I am planning to return in 2014. The staff was extremely courteous. There wasn’t ANYTHING about this hotel that I didn’t like.
It’s location is ideal. I spent a week in the city and found the hotel the perfect residence during my stay.
I don’t think you can go w/​this hotel.

I stayed here while in town for business and loved the Riverplace. It’s in a beautiful part of Greenville that has been redeveloped in the past 10 – 15 years and is now full of restaurants, coffee shops, a very pretty park with a suspension pedestrian bridge, and lots to do. If you can catch something interesting at the Peace Center, that is also very convenient. Of course, Greenville itself is not a large downtown in terms of square miles, so lots of things are within walking distance.
The only minor negative is the odd parking garage, which has a narrow entrance with a sharp left turn at the entry gate. I drive a Prius and worried about scraping, so good luck if you have an Escalade. :)

Nice spot to stay in Greenville, SC. The view are amazing and location is key to hit most of the good restaurants in town.
The staff is fantastic, and very helpful for folks visiting this cool city! Love that there are good coffee shops close by and a rec path to take a nice walk in the AM.

We did not reserve a room ahead on Friday night (8−12−11) but stopped here due to other Unilocal reviews. Because of the 2 $$ marking I did not expect the bill to be quite as expensive as it was. King bedroom, 2^nd floor, with taxes and fees was just over $ 190. The room was beautiful and the bathroom was wonderful. Very nice shower with glass doors.
Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Parking facility was nice. Disappointed because our room did not have a fridge to place our dinner leftovers in. They have a breakfast available in the am but it is pretty crowded down there. Location is great right next to the Falls Park and in downtown area.
