I’m not from the area and I booked online for a lower rate. Waited about 10 mins to check in while the front desk worker argued pretty loudly with another guest and a “manager” on the phone across the street. The room wasn’t very clean and the ac bearly worked. The breakfast staff snapped at us cause we can in at 8:45… the check out guy was the nicest one we encountered. We won’t be back

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Very tired overall, but clean and functional. Sink faucet did not work well, bathroom door sticks badly, pollen from trees completely covered my car and had to get a car wash. On the plus side it was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Parking was plentiful and the check-in person was very friendly and helpful. It is a 10 minute drive from downtown Charleston and good restaurants. It is worth the drive to save the money on this hotel and put it toward a nice dinner on the wharf.
