Realizing that you are getting a hotel in this area at a very good deal, you should not expect too much. That said, we found the service (front desk and breakfast room) to be very good with the exception of some housekeeping issues. The lobby and breakfast areas are bright, clean and cheerful. The room is a decent size with a king bed. It appeared clean, but we found the desk chair arms and the writing desk to be kind of sticky (we gave them a good wash down). The carpeting was quite old and frayed in spots. Looked like it had been regularly vacuumed, but probably not deep-cleaned/shampooed in a really long time - a few spots were discoloured and my wife's white socks seemed dingy after a short time walking around.

There is only a shower stall in the very small bathroom (sort of cupboard-sized) but you should know what to expect in advance - we didn't care about this. the furniture is pretty dated and quite scratched up in spots. The bed was comfortable with lots of pillows - although they were so thin you needed 2 or 3 under your head to be comfortable.Also, the tv is an old tube-style, but the picture quality and channel selections were quite good. Breakfast was ok - nothing special, but certainly quite adequate, and in fact, the first place on our trip that offered a selection of bagels (not just plain) such as poppy or sesame seed.

So there could certainly could be improvements (especially in housekeeping), but overall it's an adequate stay for a night or two.

My stay the weekend of January 14-16 was not the best. The accommodation were good but the noise level was unbearable for me. I could not sleep soundly due to other guest above my room walking so hard. The refrigerator in my room hummed to loud as it turn automatically on. I could hear people talking as they walked the halls in the morning hours.
The room was adequate but not very sound proof for keeping other noises concealed. In your renovations please try to make guest as comfortable as possible. Maybe I'm just a light sleeper. No more for me.

Visited Charleston the end of February 2011 with a group of 6 people. We returned December 29, 2011 with a group of 10 to celebrate New Years Eve. We decided to stay @ the Sleep Inn because we had previously stayed and knew it was a good hotel. When we arrived we found out that they were under construction, replacing carpet ect. We never heard a sound! They 1st of all put us on a floor were there was no construction, so this was never a problem. The hotel was even better this time! Rooms still clean, no bad smells, breakfast was typical cereal fruit ect. The only thing I would warn people about is the taxi request. I asked for a cab, thinking I would be getting Yellow Cab, ect, or some other well known cab. The lady at the front desk recommended "Derek", so i said sure. She said make sure you tell him I sent you...ok...what they didnt tell us was Derek charged $9 per person! We took a 5 mile ride and it cost us $60 !! Needless to say, we did not call Derek to pick us back up, instead we found another cab who brought us back for $10.35 TOTAL!. Needless to say we called this same driver for the rest of the trip. Hotel wise, great! Lady at the front desk recommending Derek, NOT SO GREAT.

We checked in early afterrnoon of Dec 30 and went for dinner in the historic district. Upon our return, we settled down for some tv before retiring when it started: BANG, BOOM, BUMP, BUMP, BANG. We figured it was a family moving in upstairs and would settle down after a bit, We couldn't have been more wrong. It kept up all night long until finally at 4am we decided it wasn't worth trying to sleep and we left for our trip back to North Carolina. Somebody in management ought to have their butt kicked for permitting crews to lay carpet while guests are trying to sleep. I didn't know the details until I read the previous reviewer comments. This kind of thing is just plain inconsiderate. Choice Hotels will be informed of our displeasure.
