Very clean, good breakfast, friendly staff; on par with Hampton Inn. Made our reservation on the road to Charleston. The location was very convenient for traveling to downtown Charleston (easy right turn out of parking lot - super important during busy times of day), and just 10 minutes or so from downtown. More

We aim to provide you value. You get our updated hotels rooms (granite counters in the bathrooms), flat screen TV's with HD, and a hot breakfast even with pancakes...all just a hop, skip, and jump from Historic Charleston! More

We have always enjoyed staying in Charleston, but had never stayed at this particular Holiday Inn Express.. As another review said, "great people make a great stay" and this hotel certainly lives up to that claim! From check-in to checkout, and all during our stay, the staff was polite, very helpful, and went above and beyond what we normally find... More

I only spent one night on the way to Atlanta, and I´d definitely do so again (in fact, I´d stay longer, too :)) the staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms big, clean, and beautiful, breakfast was nice, everything was easy-going and I enjoyed the atmosphere. I don´t remember ho much we paid anymore, but I´m sure it wasn´t more... More

Staff was very friendly, Breakfast was well prepared, items that were supposed to be hot were, and the variety was excellent. The room was also very clean, especially the bathroom. The decor and window shutters were very pleasing and did a great job filtering out unwanted light from the parking area outside. Great place to stay. Price could have been... More

Good location being an easy drive into Charleston Central. The hotel itself was pretty good. the Room: Reasonably spacious and clean. I was a bit concerned when I saw someone had tried to break into the room at some point in the past as the door frame was bent around the lock. the beds were reasonably comfortable. The Staff were...

Thank you for acknowledging our great location and amenities. I'm sorry about your concern with the door. The dent is from a previous repair but not a break in. I will have our maintenance department take a look at it. We want to make sure all our guests feel safe and secure. Thank you! More

This hotel seems to be very new. The king room was exceptionally spacious, and tastefully decorated. Room facilities were comprehensive, and bed was very comfortable. Complimentary breakfast was very good, especially the pancake maker (that other reviewers have commented on). There is a Ruby Tuesday's restaurant conveniently next door - also recommended. The only negative aspect was that the hotel... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel the night before our cruise was to leave on Monday. We came into Charleston around 10am Sunday morning and were allowed to leave our bags at the hotel until time to check in later in the day.

This conveniently located hotel has an excellent staff (management, front desk, housekeeping, and maintenance). The daily breakfast is very good, all rooms have a microwave oven and refrigerator, and the premises are well-maintained and secure. My elderly father and I felt quite at home during our recent vacation in Charleston. That being said, the ONLY reason I cannot rate them... More
