I stayed there for mainly due to location-right of 526 & the overall value compared to hotels in downtown Charleston.

Pro’s:

• Easy check in and checkout, fresh baked cookies at the counter.
• The hotel offers Paul Mitchell soaps and shampoos.
• There is a little bar located in the hotel as well.
• Small business center, able to print off boarding passes and directions
• Free Parking


Con’s:

• Hot water can be an issue when taking a shower


Overall a great value- only about 15 minutes to downtown Charleston. I would stay there again.

The hotel had a very nice ambiance to it. The bar, breakfast area, common area, gym, and pool area are all very nice. The room itself was very comfortable and very clean. The ameneties are very nice such as the outdoor whirlpool, wifi access, gym, laundry room, information/help desk. The big problems were: the not free breakfast, and the noise. We spent two nights here and our room seemed to be surrounded by teenagers on a class trip for the first night. I thought they were the problem but the second night we were surrounded by what was not as loud adults but I could still hear everything . The night before a marathon you need your sleep and unfortunately I am a light sleeper and my husband can sleep through armageddon. The loud teens and the slamming doors were annoying! I still have blood shot eyes from the two nights of bad sleep (though I have to admit we just got home last night).

Overall very pleasant stay, needs renovations to rooms and lobby, needs more highly trained staff and updated towels. Could be a great property since it has a very convenient location. We had a room with a balcony which made room ventilation great. If it was updated like the new Courtyards it would be phenomenal.

My family booked 3 suites and a king room over the holidays. The property is very nice but desparately in need of an update. The floor coverings were worn and threadbare, the furniture was non-functioning (drawers would not open/close) and the towels should have been given a decent burial a long time ago.

There is a gentleman working there who is given free rein to interact w/ guests. He seemed to be a semi-lunatic imposing his views on all guests/employees in a most disruptive way. Among other offensive things he did during our stay: LOUD conversations on his cell phone while in the dining room at breakfast. Every other Marriott employee was correct and respectful during our stay.
