The room was very clean, comfortable beds, clean bathroom, the front desk staff was very helpful in suggesting places to go and to eat out. I would stay here again. The location was perfect to go downtown to the Historic downtown, harbour location. It was only 6 minutes away, also free parking, which would save alot of money.

To start with the positive, we found the front desk to be very friendly and helpful, particularly Michele and Octavia. The bed was not comfortable and the room needs updating. Breakfasts at Holiday Inn Express are basic. There's a lack of unsweetened cereal & yogurt, and fruit other than bananas and apples. It would be nice to have herbal and/or... More

I had the opportunity to stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Charleston, SC for a wedding weekend. Many of the guest chose to stay there due to the convenient location.

We picked this HI Express after reading others' reviews on Tripadvisor. We were totally satisfied with the location and overall experience. The hotel is convenient to downtown Charleston, and the River Road plantations are quite easy to access from here. Comfortable, quiet room. Would definitely stay here again. A good price compared to the rather expensive downtown options.

This hotel was perfect in every way. A wonderful and friendly staff and accommodations were superb. Room layout, comfort of bed, great TV and easy check in and out were some of the perks of this hotel. Southern hospitality to the max! Reasonable price for what you get.
