Very comfortable beds

This hotel is very well kept, the room was spotless and the beds VERY comfy with clean crisp sheets. We would stay again. The only problem we had, we booked an exc. level room w/use of the consig. lounge and the lounge is not open on the weekends. We had paid extra for this perk.

Don't hesitate to drive to the downtown area. We took the Marriott shuttle but could have easily found a place to park for the day.

My experience

The hotel was good and location good. The only problem was we were next to the elevator and ice machine and it was very noisy when trying to sleep.

Old hotel with fancy new interor

This hotel was built in the 70's and the age of the exterior concerned me. Inside, the property was substantially renovated in 2007 and the renovation is well done and the rooms are well appointed. The best feature is the thermostatically controlled H&A for each room. I could not believe Marriott charged $9.95 per day for internet access. Pool and fitness room are small but in very good shape. Water pooled in the parking lot, which is cracked and in poor condition in places. I would suggest booking into the Marriott Courtyard which is an equally good location about 3 blocks away. The Courtyard is much newer. The Joe Ripley Jr. stadium is two blocks away and the central police station is two buildings down. The lobby is striking-- just gorgeous and many rooms have view of the Charleston Harbor. I liked the hotel, but the owners should bring the exterior and parking lots up to the same grade as the striking interior.

Mostly good..but..

Nice room, freindly staff. Was a little taken aback by a fee for internet service - almost $10.00 per day.
