Staff were very friendly, helpful,polite. The room was very very clean, up to date Breakfast selection both mornings were good with a nice variety. Only two items that came up to speak about. Expedia had us registered for 3 rooms, so that took a while to figure out 2nd item. The one and only elevator for the hotel was out of order the first night and remained that way during our entire stay. Luckily we were only on the 2nd floor, but I had had a Pacemaker implemented a few weeks earlier so navigating the stairs was a bit difficult for me. 2nd

Rooms were clean and breakfast was the same as all Holiday Inns. But poor upkeep on equipment. Only one ice machine was working on the property so we had to ho to the 3rd floor to get ice. We were advised when we arrived side doors could or could not work with key card. So we had to walk yo the front all weekend to enter from the parking lot. Nothing was working for 3 days. Elevator issues whie staying over the weekend. Possible the worst stay ever at a Holiday inn express. So that is a good , this is our go to motel brand on 90% of our trips.

This was our second stay here. The first visit left a favorable impression, in part due to exceptionally helpful and friendly breakfast staff. This second visit, however, was disappointing. The elevator was inoperable, so we were moved to a first-floor room. The room was reasonably clean but had a slight odor and the bathroom sink had what looked like mold along the edge of the counter. The freezer in the mini fridge was severely frosted over. The room door would not always automatically lock upon exiting. We asked staff about this and were told they were having problems with some of the locks. One morning a hot breakfast was not available, apparently due to incompetent staff from the previous day. The staff accommodated our request for extra hand towels. It is a convenient location, but we might consider other options on our next visit to Charleston.

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.
