“best hotel on our driving trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

After staying at dirty hotels with no or little maintenance, this review is a pleasure to write. This Holiday Inn Express was the best hotel on our multi-state driving trip. It is really wonderful. The appearance is A+. Everything is so clean. The rooms are nice. The superb breakfast includes scrambled eggs (really!) and hot biscuits. The staff is very friendly. This hotel shows that nice hotels are possible and don't have to cost a fortune. Highly recommended.

“Spacious Room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013 via mobile

We stayed here when we had to be at MUSC early the next morning for tests. We usually stay in Mt. Pleasant but thought we would try this hotel. We stayed in a king room that was very spacious and the mattress was very comfortable and the bedding was very soft. Everything was clean and the breakfast was good. The biscuits were delicious. The only negative was that they were out of cribs so we didn't get much sleep trying to get our 1 yr. old to sleep. Would definitely recommend...and will return!

“Good location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013 via mobile

We stayed here for a long weekend. The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly. The location was very convenient for sightseeing at plantations, Folly Beach, historic downtown --- and several restaurants. It is right on highway 17 so we were pleasantly surprised by how quiet our room was.

“Great Place To Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

My husband and I stayed here 1/14/13 for the first time. The staff are really warm and welcoming. Ms. Cheryl Wooten, the Asst. General Manager was especially helpful to us when it came to selecting where to eat, how to get around and sights to see! Our room was exactly what we wanted. Spacious, beautifully kept and very clean. The hot breakfast is terrific. We had scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and bisquits, but there was so much more to choose from, cereal, pancakes and wonderful cinnamon rolls. My husbands favorite part of all is the baked fresh cookies every evening put out around 5:00 pm! On a personal note, I left my agenda in the lobby when we left for home. I called Ms. Wooten to ask if it could be UPS'd to my home. It arrived the very next day. We highly recommend this hotel!
