This is a wonderful hotel just off Hwy 17 at the base of the Cooper River bridges. You can be in downtown Charleston in 7-10 minutes or to Isle of Palms/Sullivan's Island in 15! Very family friendly! The staff are very helpful. We are traveling with our two teenage boys. They love having the 2BR/2Bath layout. There is also a... More

My family and I stayed here for 3 nights in April 2013. Travelling with 3 teenagers can be especially difficult and pricey. When they were younger, we could pile all 3 into one bed. Now that they are older and so much larger, that just isn't a possibility. We booked a suite with two separate bedrooms with doors which we... More

My family and I booked 2 rooms for five nights at this hotel over Easter. The hotel is in a very convenient location, with plenty of grocery stores and restaurants near by.

We stayed here after a wedding. All we needed was a clean, safe, and convenient place to stay. This worked perfectly. It had a nice bed, pullout couch, refrigerator, sink, and standard bathroom (a little larger than normal). I also forgot my Clarisonic face washer and they sent it to me in the mail; however I had to give them... More

Location was great close to Shem Creek,staff were good with recommendations for dinner etc,breakfast was ok parties,donuts,cereals,juices etc but all these we're let down by the bathrooms which could have been cleaner and a lot smarter. Overall good value for the area but I don't think I would stay again. Also parking is insufficient when they are busy
