There was considerable noise from the work being done around pool area and redoing walk for beach sccess. Room was clean and comfortable although there is random noise at night. Hard to figure out the source, if it's mechanical or guests. Our room was near the elevator so we heard it everytime it stopped, then walking and talking from guests. Breakfast was adequate but a couple more tables would be nice as there is room in the area. Some guests put plates on counter tops and stood to eat. Hotel does call it 'grab and go'. Excellent beach access when using walkways beside hotel. Limited on site parking and hotel does have access to municipal parking. Hotel charges a parking fee either way. Isle of Palms is a great beach and must deal with crowds so this hotel is convenient to restaurants and stores and having paid parking is necessary, I suppose. So it's a mix between noise and limited space vs clean room and beach access.

The room was nice. Area was loud. People were arguing loudly right outside our room at 3am. We had to pay $40/day for 2beach chairs/umbrella. But we didn’t do it the day before online because we had no idea about this, so we did not have chairs the first day. The next day we couldn’t find the set that should have had our name on it, amid the well more than 50 sets out in front of the hotel. They were all on top of each other and covered in sand. When we did find ours after losing 45 minutes walking in the burning sand and sun, people were sitting in them and had camped their stuff all around so it felt awkward kicking them out. But after all that, I wanted to sit in the seats we paid for in the shade of the umbrella. Then the water was mud brown… literally cannot see your hand Nevermind your feet. People squished together, drinking, smoking weed, not watching their kids who are throwing sand all over the place. One girl was drinking hard liquor right out of the bottle, waving it around, stumbling about, in and out of the water, falling on people and laughing, and taking drags off of random peoples’ cigarettes and blunts. This was not was I expecting and it’s not inexpensive so we were disappointed that it wasn’t better managed and more accommodating to guests. The hotel should put chairs out and reserve them for their guests daily without guests having to discover what the process is and who to contact. It’s not even part of the hotel, it’s some private beach chair company.

Decent. Bring a cooler, as the fridge is just “cool” and there’s no way to control the temp. Also, the AC wall unit will need to be jacked down to the lowest setting to be comfortable bc for some reason hot outside air is just leaching through the returns in the ceiling. The pleasant surprise was that we had a balcony facing the restaurant next door but the sliding door to the balcony is like 100% soundproof so there’s that. The parking is limited and tight, but they will let you park there and hit the beach prior to checkin, and you have a parking pass you put in your windshield that only has a checkout date on it so you can leave your car there literally all day on your checkout day and stay at the beach. Super easy access to the beach also. The best part I have to say is, seeing the warren of rabbits as we walked from the garage on the boardwalk down to the beach. Every day, it was a beautiful thing.

We had a great experience, mainly because of the location, free continental breakfast, and pool. I do feel it’s a bit overpriced and bathroom was small. Other than that, I am satisfied and it was worth it. There were several restaurants, ice cream, bars, shopping and beach all within a few minutes walking distance. Front desk staff was very sweet also the manager.
