Guest Ratings & Reviews
Despite some missteps, my stay was overall pleasant. The misleading 2-bedroom feature and cleanliness were concerns, but the welcoming service and convenient location balanced things out.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and a super-friendly staff. However, the dining options were lacking, and the location was not as clean as expected. Despite this, the hotel offers good value for money.
My stay at the hotel was great! The rooms were spacious, clean, and quiet, but it would have been nice to have a fridge and microwave. The service was exceptional, especially given our late check-in, with very friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient, but it might not be the best choice for those wanting to explore Charleston. The dining options were delicious and varied, making it a satisfying experience. Overall, I had a pleasant stay with some minor room amenities missing.
