    Less than impressed. The hall reeked of weed, the shower had hair on the walls, 2 bath towels for a room accommodating 4, and a surprise $10 parking fee to park at the hotel! The parking fees are not listed on the website nor are they provided when booking on the phone.

    Excellent Holiday Inn Express. Very clean and efficiently run. The location is good: if you want to get to "Old Charleston" (which has a lot of restaurants, etc.) then walk through the mall across from the convention center, which is across the street from this hotel. So great location either for events or for enjoying Charleston.

    We stayed here as a stopover for a long drive to rest. Hotel in front of Civic center. Rooms are good but bathroom shower curtain has mildew. I don't know why they charge $5 a night for parking when there us plenty of parking.

    We stayed in room 305. I’m not sure what plumbing issues they had prior to our stay but the smell was absolutely awful. Too bad to finish our stay in that room. Luckily the customer service here is impeccable and they were able to find a room more suitable!
