Do not ring the doorbell at 8 am to remind the PAYING customer that it is check out day. I can assure you we know. I am sure you want people out as soon as possible, but you have a posted check out time. Also, you need communication with Travelocity if you are adding a per person fee on top of what has been charged.

Family trip to Charleston

The absolute friendliest staff I have ever encountered at a hotel. Everyone was so nice and spoke when passing, helpful with questions, and overall seemed to be really happy to be working there. The room was great and had everything we needed. We couldn’t believe the extras they offered. They brought popsicles to the kids at the pool, had a complimentary dinner with burgers and sides, complimentary beer and wine during dinner hour, quality complimentary breakfast. Saved a ton of money on dining!! Location was so convenient to Folly beach (10 min), Isle of Palms (25 min), old downtown (6 min) and city market area (10 min). Would stay again in a heartbeat

Great Deal

Rooms are suites with full kitchen, 2 TVs, sleeper sofa. Inn has free breakfast, pool & hot tub. Helpful and friendly staff. The one negative - sleeper sofa mattress was thin....not recommended for probably anyone over 40. Inn is convenient  to downtown and the beach. Very good rate. I would definitely stay there again. Also pet friendly, though not a draw for me.

Charleston Charm

Our stay was everything we expected from a Marriott brand hotel, and more. The room was spacious, with 2 closets. We even used the sofa bed, which was surprisingly comfortable. The room was a one bedroom suite with two televisions, full kitchen and tub/shower area separate from the bathroom sink. The free breakfast is one of the better ones I've seen, with eggs, bacon, grits, waffles, yogurt, bagels, etc. One minor complaint - the free breakfasts appear to be used more frequently these days than in the past, probably due to the economy, so the room was often crowded and the food levels were frequently low. Even though the buffet is advertised until 10 or 11 am, they stop putting new food out a good half hour before the time is up. One morning we found very little left to eat in the last half hour. When the time is up, they are done and the food is quickly put away. The hotel was very clean, as well as the grounds. Front desk staff were polite and very helpful. Parking in the evening is limited. From Monday through Thursday they offer evening snacks from 6-7:30, which are quite substantial, well done and could easily substitute for a quick meal. We went downtown frequently in the evening - street parking meters are free after 6 pm. The hotel is less than 10 minutes from downtown - easy access once you figure out the street grids. The hotel does have decent maps and directions available for the asking. If you are looking for fast food, it is available within a few miles (turn left out of the hotel complex for downtown, right to find fast food). Lots of excellent dining downtown, but be prepared to walk several blocks to eat.

Honeymoon

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. This place was great. We did not want to leave. Customer service was excellent. We enjoyed most the buffet style breakfast every morning and the activities during the week night accompanied by FREE FOOD! When we stayed, there was a BBQ night and sub sandwiches, etc on other nights. They provide a schedule of events. Lots of great food to choose from that was included with your stay. We slept like babies. The bed was so comfortable, we had to pull the sheets off to see what did the trick so we could try to duplicate it at home. California Dreaming was just around the corner. We visited this restaurant 2-3 times because it was so good. Overall, this was a great hotel for us. We got our room at a very reasonable rate.
