Raj Patel, the owner of four hotels in Clemson, renamed Hotel Tillman this month to The Inn at Clemson.
Patel is from India and said he was naïve on the history of Tillman when he named the hotel in 2015. He chose it because his hotel resembles the campus building s clock tower structure, and there were no other hotels with the name in the United States.
