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.

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.

Breakfast was good. Plenty of parking. We stayed 4 nights and our room was never restocked. No housekeeping. Had to go to front desk every evening to ask for new washcloths and towels. Trash build up and so did dirty towels, also had to ask for more tomorrow paper When we asked the front desk about id housekeeping would be coming at all to clean our room we were told they didn’t know. Nothing more was offered. front desk provided us with fresh towels but never offered any other assistance or removal of trash or dirty towels
