Ideal location for walking to points of interest around Charleston. Most importantly accommodations were very clean, room was spacious and staff helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel in Charleston especially if they don’t have a car.
The staff was so accommodating. They brought up a box fan and rollaway bed which they set up and fixed for us. Pool area was fun, coffee shop was good.
Great staff, nice rooms. Good location. Would definitely recommend!!

Clean room, great environment. There were some glitches, one day we didn't have hot water and we didn't have a phone in the room to call front desk. But overall, would definitely go back. Great location and all very nice folks working there.
