Stylishly decorated rooms and public areas with furnishings that make you feel like you're in someone's guest room rather than a hotel room. Even-number rooms have view of a wooded area (as of this writing); odd-number rooms have view of the hotel parking lot and Hilton Garden Inn across the street.

The only odd aspect or downside to the room was the armoire containing the TV -- the doors opened out, but didn't fold back. Consequently, the extendable tray holding the TV set had to be pulled out to its full length in order to watch a program. And while the screen was visible from the sitting area and most of the bed, the armoire doors blocked the view from the desk or in front of the closet.

Cars leaving the Holiday Inn parking lot for the airport or Interstate have an advantage over Garden Inn guests in that the Holiday Inn is on the right side (facing I-526) of the multi-lane divided street, while vehicles exiting the Hilton Garden Inn have to turn left and wait for a break in traffic coming from the airport and I-526. Apparently the two hotels share the airport shuttle bus. A Wendy's is located in the Hilton Garden Inn parking lot; a Chili's (or similar) restaurant will share the Holiday Inn's parking lot soon (if it hasn't opened already -- construction appeared fairly complete in mid-August).

Great location, close to airport, shuttle service available. Very close to Tanger Outlet Mall, and freeway. Staff is friendly, food decent, full breakfast buffet for $9.25, lobby bar. Full complementary business center, rooms are spacious and comfortable. Only complaint was the Jacuzzi was closed for repairs (Although, said we could go across the street to sister hotel.) and TV was missing from the work out room. Would stay definitely stay here again.

We origninally booked a room at the Hampton Inn right down the street
but we left there at 12:30am after the WORST hotel experience of my life and luckily walked into the Holiday Inn. We called the location from the Hampton, spoke to a wonderful woman at the front desk who got us a great rate at midnight (!) and made sure that there was a crib ready and waiting in our truly non-smoking room (see my review under the Hampton Inn to understand the rest of this). When we got into our room I felt so relaxed after a HERENDOUS experience of teaching all day, a six hour drive, and then having to almost run out of a horrible, scary, unsafe hotel. The room decorations were beautiful, the crib was up, and we fell asleep almost immediately. We stayed at the hotel for three nights and loved the room, the pool,
the hot tub, the restuarant and my 15 mo old loved the "round bench" in the lobby. On check out the desk clerk actually realized that we were eligible for a lower rate and charged our account back the difference. That was truly the icing on the cake. My grandmother lives in Charleston and I will never stay anywhere else when I visit her!!!!!!

Excellent location with easy access from airport and to Tanger Outlets. A new, modern hotel with a restaurant, lounge and lots of parking. Overall a great place to stay!
