The included breakfast was delightfully good in comparison to other hotels that offer the same amenity. The hotel was also nice and clean and the staff was very friendly. This hotel is in a convenient area outside of downtown Charleston if you are looking to explore some of the southern areas around Charleston.

Very clean, staff so nice and helpful. Breakfast was amazing! I did not expect that quality of breakfast. Only negative is the facility is at 20 minutes from downtown. Not that big of a deal but something to consider

The hotel is conveniently located on Route 17, the main thoroughfare in the Charleston, SC area. Heading north provides easy access to downtown Charleston and the Myrtle Beach area, while going south leads toward Savannah, GA. Parking was convenient, and breakfast was included, which was a nice bonus. The only downside was that the outdoor pool was not in good condition. Overall, a pleasant stay—thank you.
