Outdoor pool and naan!

Staff very friendly. Check in a breeze . Gave me a room where I wanted. Pool was excellent. Lots of sun. Hotel is nice and quiet. No scumbags, party types or loud "urban" types to make noise all night. Also the Mint Indian restaurant in the lobby is EXCLELLENT. Their naan bread is some of the best I've had. Made in a tandoor oven so that tells you. The bar in the lobby is good. New bar staff so be patient. All in all a nice weekend getaway from work.

Not great

Charleston area. Has an outdoor pool. Big parking area. Beds are small (like smaller than a full size but a little bigger than a twin) but comfy. Doors on the outside. Room was clean. Water doesn’t drain real fast in the shower or sink. That was kinda inconvenient waiting 10 minutes for the water to drain before the next person could shower. Fridge and microwave in the room. Brick House restaurant sucked- 3 of us showed up. Only one table was occupied but the server spent 10 min talking to them. I went up to the other two servers who were sitting down eating. They said “she’ll be right with you.” Instead of offering to help us. I asked for a menu- they don’t have menus, our waiter will tell us the specials. By this point we hadn’t been offered any drinks, no service, no menu- we left. Breakfast is complimentary, but wasn’t great. The hotel is situated on the outside of town, not real close to any eating establishments. We won’t be staying here again.

I thought this was going to be an excellent property coming from a 3 hour drive. The television stopped working after a couple of hours of checking in, we called the lobby multiple times so they can reset the DirecTV system but nobody answered. The shower can be misleading. The shower sprinkler did not work at all. Will not be staying here again.

There is nothing executive about the Executive Suite. A musty room with outdated furniture. The free breakfast was lacking in variety.

Cool place in Charleston.

Other than the fact that there was an all day kids birthday party at the pool the one day we planned to chill and swim, I have zero complaints. The room was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and I will definitely book there again.

I picked this place due to the outdoor pool and having a bar and grill attached. The pool itself was ok and had nice chairs but the pool deck had leftover clothes for 2 days, no pool towels the first day and the garbage can was overflowing. The bar and grill had been closed for renovations and should have been made clear before reserving a room. Rooms need updated. You had to absolutely slam the door to get it to close right. Staff was not professional and hard to find when we had a problem or a question. Unless there are some major changes I would not recommend staying here.

Our night was interrupted by the neighboring occupants. The had a physical fight in front of our door at 3am. When we went to the front desk in the morning no one was there. No one was at the desk when we checked out either. After being told they would refund the night of the fight, they still charged us for it. Won’t stay there again.
