Spring Break Trip
Wonderful location in Folly Beach! Perfect spot for a short family vacation. Rooms are not fancy, but they have the essentials and the room was clean. Pool was cloudy and pool deck with beach chairs is relatively small. All the towels at the hotel (incl the pool) are very small so bring your own if you can. Chairs directly on the beach are available for a fee from a 3rd party vendor (I think it was $45/day for two chairs and an umbrella). Coffee bar and hotel restaurant were both good. Staff was pleasant throughout the property. Super easy drive to downtown Charleston to enjoy non-beach activities. Cost was reasonable for mid-week in April (around $1,200 for four nights for a basic room with two double beds) and I would stay again at that price point. It would be hard for me to justify spending much more per night given the dated rooms and lack of resort amenities.

Disliked: Staff & service
Arrived on 4/20 early. The room wasn't ready yet. We wanted to go into the restaurant and have something to drink while we waited. The host wouldn't let us sit in the restaurant outdoor area even though it was not busy. The cleaning staff did not understand the things we were asking for. The TV didn't work & had to be switched out. Only 2 elevators, 1 broke & there was a line of 20 or more people waiting to get on. The one working elevator was being used by cleaning staff making it very very slow. I asked at the front desk if they could tell the staff to wait moving their big carts around until the elevator was fixed. That didn't happen.

Great place.
The rooms here are nice. Entry hall is open in the Charleston/island side so yiu have nice views of that side just outside your door. (Sunset side) Every room has an ocean view. There was some wind which causes a slight howling sound in the room. (Towels under the door solve this problem.) This is the only hotel on the island, at least the only ocean front, typical hotel. Always expensive. Worth the extra for upper floors. Sometimes the elevators mess up. Otherwise its a classy place. Staff is top notch.
