Where to stay in Upstate South Carolina

Always thinking on how I traveled half way across the world just to come and study. Sometimes I think of home and I miss it sooo much. But, this is the area I have lived for the last 3 years. This is the home far from home. I call this home, not because I have family here. It is where I have met so many wonderful people in this city. This is my #adventure from one side of the world to here!

There was a hand full of black hair on the bathroom floor. Crumbs were on the kitchen countertop. Walls are paper thin, we could hear the people staying next to us. No lobby however there was an outdoor courtyard but it was not covered and it had rained so everything was wet.
