6/10 Good

Decent

Motel was ok. Clean room. Just not your “nicest” version of a motel. Good price for what I got.
Kari, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The front desk staff at check-in was amazing! We had a dog with us. He was barking, and there were some noise complaints, but the front desk staff was very understanding when they called to notify us.

Nice place to stay! I would get a room

Everything was great besides the room we was connected to called when we was going through a family emergency and just getting good news from MUSC no tv no radio on just happiness and they ruined the moment but staff was nice enough to just let us know we enjoyed our stay and the staff was kind...would stay again.
Rontisha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

polite staff, room clean, no issues.
Kim, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The pool was closed and its the only reason i booked this hotel, way too expensive for the value, on a positive note was clean and beds were comfortable.
Keri, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was economical. The room was clean and comfortable. The little interaction I had with the cleaning staff was very good. The front desk was average. The breakfast was average. The outdoor pool was not of use. It was closed. The water in the pool looked green. It would have been nice to sit on the pool deck and possibly get in the water, none of this was available.
Rachel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great staff

We had to stay in Charleston because of a medical emergency and the staff were so kind and helpful. We had to extend our stay twice and they allowed us to remain in the same rooms for over 10 days. I will always be grateful for their kindness to us during this horrible time.
Catherine, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was comfortable
Gail, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean but very dated. Bedding and pillows were clean and comfortable, AC unit worked well but i was allergic to something in the room, sneezed allot, not sure if it was mold or animal related. Carpeting was worn and older, not all lamps had power outlets and USB charger ports, lamps had some surface rust, microwave and refrigerator worked well, very nice tv. There was a pull out bed from a couch, but we did not use it. Iron and ironing board were good and usable. Ice machine was nearby outdoors. Our stay was fine but for the money, we would probably look elsewhere.
Richard, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

great location close to Chas.
Keith, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice stay, hotel/motel is older but well maintained and very clean. Can recommend the BBQ place along the street

Recommend. Pet friendly.

Was perfect for what I needed. Close to historical sights. Nice accommodations.
Judy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was very helpful. Traveling with dogs, this is a great option not right in the middle of things, lots of services, stores and restaurants nearby.
Laura, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is in a great location. The room had old, dirty carpeting and a microwave that did not work. The room was musty and there was mold outside the room in the drainage grate.
