So we actually had the pleasure of staying here twice in one month. During the first stay I left my blanket; they found it and I was going to arrange to have it sent back but they held on to it until we arrived the second time. There was an issue with the room but they took care of it ASAP! To Lionel and staff thank you for being so kind, attentive and patient. You all make every stay a great experience.

Perfect

Everything was good. The only thing i was a little concerned about was housekeeping. They never came and cleaned the room the whole time i was here. Im not sure if they operate in a particular time because its an extended stay but i thought housekeeping was everyday at a hotel. Either way i enjoyed everything else.

This hotel was everything I needed it to be. Close to everything and wasn’t too far from downtown Charleston. The room was very clean and the kitchen was so fully equipped that we ended up cooking the whole time while on our mini vacation. Bed was very comfortable and restroom was perfect unlike most hotels. One or the other is horrible but not in this one. The staff were all very friendly people. Ms. Linda was so nice to help me get more ice for my room since the ice machine in my freezer was going to take awhile. She also gave me a list of things to see and do downtown and I was so happy about that. What’s better than google? Someone who’s actually from there!! There was a tall guy with locs cleaning the rooms each morning and he was very friendly too. Good staff made it a good stay. Last but not least the convenience of this hotel was phenomenal. Next door to the mall, Walmart, and many restaurants. All in all this was one of the best stays I’ve had in a very long time.

My check in was easy. I noticed my hotel key stated I was in one day. Hotel statf said it wasnt an issue- well; it was! The next day I parked on the site and couldn’t get in. I had my two year old with me. I went to the front desk they gave me another set of keys, went back to my room on the 2nd floor and the key still didn’t work! Which meant another trip to the front desk! My wifi didn’t work the entire time. I sent them a message Saturday and no one ever responded back. The room was clean and location convenient that’s about the only plus.

This hotel was very disappointing to my husband and I. We checked in, got to our room and no body wash and the microwave was damaged inside, so i was afriad to use it. I tried calling the front desk and the phone didnt work. My husband had to go to the front desk so that we could get some body wash. Then the bill we received was different from the charges on the credit card, so in the morning we had to ask why the difference in amounts. The lady Tiffany was very helpful in explaining the difference in charges. I even showed her pictures of the microwave.We then told her about the issues with our room and she said she was going to give us a discount. However, we have not received a discount and I will be contacting a manager. When leaving the hotel a different lady was at the desk and another customer was complaining about issues she was having with the service. The lady was eating yogurt and never put her food down to fully acknowledged the customer. I felt that was very rude and she could have atleast put her food to the side for a minute and address the situation. I will not be staying at this hotel again. I don't recommend this hotel. A suggestion is better management, and training so that customers will have a good stay whether its one night or one week.
