Lovely team, fine hotel
The team was truly excellent—warm and hospitable. We told them we were celebrating and they took fantastic care of us. Great parking options. However the hotel itself has some issues. The doors aren’t well done and you can very clearly hear conversations from the corridor. The bed was very uncomfortable.

Overall, this was a very nice stay. Appreciated the fact the parking was secure and free as opposed to some of the other nearby hotels. Quite an easy drive from the hotel to downtown Charleston. The only drawback was the room could’ve used a little maintenance. Some of the wallpaper was peeling and there was paint splatter on what appeared to be new tile in the bathroom. But I guess that’s what you get when you get a pet friendly room. Just grateful that we could bring our four-legged family with us.
