My Mom and I spent 5 nights - May 21-26, 2012 - at this hotel. It was a good value and the room was very clean. We ate the hotel's breakfast each morning and it has a nice selection of items. The pool area is well maintained. What sets this hotel apart is the service at the front desk. It... More

I've stayed here several times on business. Hotel location is convenient for travel and only a few miles from downtown. Service is pleasant and rooms are large and very comfortable. Probably the best value around as I usually book it at $99, sometimes more, sometimes less.

This hotel has lovely front desk staff - always friendly and helpful. This hotel is good if you don't want to pay for downtown parking charges etc. The rooms are good and spacious as is the bathroom. Everywhere was very clean. Certainly had no reservations about the safeness of the area it seemed perfectly OK. Took the local bus into... More

Thank you very much for providing your feedback to others. It is wonderful to hear that you were able to take advantage of the CARTA service that picks up just a few doors down. We are a great alternative to staying in the Historic District yet all of Charleston's attractions are just a hop, skip, and jump away. Oh yes,... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel several months ago and were very impressed by the great customer service! This time my trip to Charleston was for business, and after receiving such wonderful service last time, it was a no-brainer as to where to stay. The front desk ladies are excellent at making you feel right at home. When... More

My husband and I had reservations in early April when we were driving from Hilton Head back north. We drove passed the hotel and the area and decided that it was not in the type of area that we would feel safe. Please keep in mind that my husband was a police officer in an inner city in NJ for...

As you can see by our previous guests' responses, we are known for our customer service. Unfortunately, I can not help if I am not given the opportunity. It really feel if you would have come to the hotel you would have had a completely different experience. While I prefer not to respond to negative experiences in a public forum,... More

I stayed at this hotel twice, for a total of 7 nights, while attending the Charleston Home and Garden Show in April. It had a very convenient location for my needs, visiting downtown historic Charleston and the plantations NW of town, and using the airport. It is also two blocks from an AAA office. I agree with all of the... More

I can't think of a thing that could make this a better hotel- it's modern, spotless, comfortable beds, quiet at night and the staff couldn't be nicer. Everyone greeted us warmly and the front desk staff was the best- from recommending tours, restaurants, parking areas, and even anticipating the need for wake-up calls. We felt well treated and taken care... More
