Great place to stay in Charleston area

Loved our stay! comfortable, clean rooms with a "retro" vibe. Close to historic Charleston and the airport. Easy check-in/out. We will for sure recommend this fun Motor Inn!

What a great place!

This little hotel is a well-kept secret. Only 5 mi out of the historic district of Charleston, it was the best hotel I've stayed in so far on my trip from Florida to New York. The beds were comfortable, it had great pillows, the shower was roomy with great water pressure and nice shampoo conditioner and body wash. Everything was impeccably clean and keyless check in was super easy. This little place is a gem and is someplace you should definitely consider staying..

Cute & affordable

Cute & clean. As it is a re-vamped motel, the rooms are small, but is to be expected. The updates are nice, lobby gathering room area very cool, pool house & drinks were thumbs up, and pool party was fun! Planning to stay again in a couple of months.

Mid Century Splendor

A great time was had at this motel that was brought back to life and paid tribute to the mid century roots. The pool was fabulous and we spent a lot of time there. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our room was so cute and very comfortable. I’m so happy we stayed here and plan to visit again in the future.
