“Great for a stopover”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

My husband and I spent two nights in Pawleys Island, SC for my cousin's wedding and added an extra day onto our trip so that we could visit Charleston. I chose to make a reservation at this Fairfield Inn because it wasn't overpriced like most of the downtown hotels and I've had good experiences at Fairfield Inns in the past. I originally booked through the Marriott site, but then I found a better deal through an aggregate, so I booked through them and cancelled the original reservation. (I paid a total of $89.90 including all taxes.) We were driving back to DC the next day, so we honestly just needed a place to lay our heads.

Check-in was quick and efficient. I must say that when I entered the hotel I wasn't crazy about the decor. I don't know what it was, but the colors didn't seem too inviting. The same feeling transferred into our room. While everything was clean and updated, I just didn't feel as "at home" as I have in other hotels and other Fairfield Inn properties.

We went to sleep pretty much as soon as we arrived. In the morning we took advantage of the adequate breakfast and were on our way.

“Fantastic stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012 via mobile

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was great.

The room was clean, comfortable, and the bed was awesome. It was also a fairly quiet hotel, and considering our room was right next to the lobby we were a little worried but it turned out fine.

The location can't be beat with shops, restaurants and freeway access all close by. There is also a. "Marketplace" in the lobby that sells snacks, drinks, first aid, etc. if you forget anything or need anything.

The free breakfast was also one of the better continental breakfasts we have had. Fresh, wide selection including Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, waffles, scrambled eggs and more.

Overall a great stay. We were impressed and we will be back.

“I highly recommend this hotel for Navy parents!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

I booked this hotel with a little reservation as I have never been to this part of Charleston before. I was traveling to see my son at the Navy base in North Charleston and he told me to check into this hotel. I have to tell you that it was a wonderful place to stay. I booked an executive suite as my son was going to stay with me. It was a very nice room with great style. It was obvious that the hotel kept good care of this room as it was clean as a whistle. My son slept on the pull out sofa bed and he said that it was very comfortable. He is 6"3 and requires some room. It had a small refrigerator with a coffee pot and I used both. The bathroom is pretty big and the shower was clean. I could tell that the tub had some age on it but overall was in good condition. We traveled back and forth to the base and it was a snap to get there. If you are traveling to see your son/daughter at the base I would recommend this hotel highly. They do offer military discounts and the check in was super easy and the check out even better. The staff at the hotel was wonderful right down to the the gentelman who was cleaning the floors. They always gave you a hardy hello and have a wonderful night. The ladies who cleaned my room did an excellent job and were also quick with a greeting. I didn't feel at all that my belongings were not safe to leave in the room. The little cafe for breakfast had a great selection and attendants to take care of whatever you needed. Nice sitting area for you to watch TV or just relax. They also offered a business center with computers if you needed that option. Overall a wonderful and relaxing stay.

Room Tip: I asked to get the executive king suite and am very glad I did.

“Great Hotel!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

I did thorough research for a place to stay in the Charleston area and this hotel was by far the most consistent in traveler reviews - and those reviews were 100% spot on.
Our experience was fantastic from check-in (Lauren at the front desk was extremely helpful and accommodating) to check-out.
The property is extremely clean and well decorated and the King-Suite room was immaculate with very comfortable bedding.
Breakfast, per the reviews, was fantastic with many choices from made-to-order waffles, scrambled eggs, and sausage to fresh muffins, bagels and fruit.
It's located in North Charleston (away from the busyness of downtown) but it's an easy 15 minute ride to get to the action.
Overall a great stay and will definitely stay again when in the Charleston area.

“Nice fresh and clean with a great staff.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 13, 2012 via mobile

What can I say this is a great hotel that is clean and nice. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool is convenient and clean, the fitness center is great and the breakfast is perfect. There are many restaurants near by and it is conveniently located to the naval weapons station.
