Cool, clean retro hotel!
Customer service was outstanding! Due to tropical storm Helene we were unable to make our original flight to Charleston so I called to cancel my reservation and they were kind enough to give me a credit for future use as I had already paid. Then we were able to take a flight the following morning to Charlotte and drive to Charleston arriving late. They were leaving a key for our room under the doormat but it wasn’t there when we got there so I called and thankfully she answered the call and directed us to another room where the code worked! The room was awesome - clean, comfy and great amenities! ( I did have to take the shampoo etc out of the holder in the shower as the tube had come disconnected from the pump on the body wash so the body wash wasn’t working so I fixed it) My only concern is that it was the end unit near the office and ice machine so at 1am people had gathered in the walkway drinking and were talking & laughing loudly. Then the following night at the same time a guest from room #224 was drinking and came down for ice and was inviting a woman named Rosa to come up to his room for drinks! Room #101 is not a room I would recommend as the ice falling into a bucket is loud and drinkers are gathering there and are loud and inconsiderate. This is not the staff or hotels fault but rather inconsiderate guests using the area as a smoking and gathering area in the middle of the night and filling up with ice. I would come back and stay but not in this room!

This property and the staff are wonderful. The atmosphere is great and they do all they can to make your stay pleasant! Second time staying here. The only negative is the area around the hotel is sketchy. I wouldn’t walk around.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I did not like the online check in. You get a text message with your Room # and the code to enter your room. They changed my Room # but didn't update my code and was unable to get in. Had to call and get a new code and then was even more confused by the two more codes I was sent afterwards. Also, did not appreciate the noise from the giant pool party. Also, the Internet and cable TV services were out, which I received a message about, but that still did not make up for an amenity that was not available. Would not recommend this hotel.
