The staff was pleasant and helpful. However, the hotel is showing its age. For the price I expected better. It is an older hotel. The vending machine only took exact change, and I was told to use the one at the hotel next door. We stayed there because it was close to the hospital.

Little bit dated. Outside halls with only stairs to upper levels. Clean. Decent but not exciting hotel breakfast. Best feature was the friendly outside rescue cat. (Ear tipped.)

The carpet was so dirty my feet turned black walking barefoot on it. Rooms are old and dated but on the plus side, the bed is comfortable. Outside was fairly dirty and unkept and poison Ivey was everywhere, even on the walkways. Bathroom and shower had been updated so that was good.

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.
