From the moment off walking through the door and getting some much needed rest the front desk made it very comfortable and checking out the next morning was even better with a wonderful breakfast. Definitely will be back

Staff was incredible. Super accommodating. Room very clean, breakfast AWESOME... BUT if you are noise sensitive don't stay here. Build right next to the highway traffic noise is overwhelming. Kind of a seeded area. When I went to put my shade down some "homeless?" people were right outside it walking through a big hole in the chain link fence. Made sure my window was latched. Again staff was so nice and friendly. We can't stay again because we are such light sleepers and the road noise was horrible. If that doesn't bother you this is a very nice place.

Megan was fantastic! She was incredibly friendly when we checked in late on Christmas night. The hotel was clean, quiet, and comfortable. We all enjoyed the wide variety of food options at breakfast. My son mentioned that the front desk staff was also great the next morning when he was walking our dog outside. Everyone stopped and petted her and gave her a great goodie bag. It was a great experience overall. We travel through Charleston several times a year and will absolutely stay here again.
