It was in a good location, staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was above average and well managed. The facility could move to 5 stars with a little update, inside and around pool area. We would stay there again without hesitation!

Adequate

As HIE hotels go, this one was just adequate. Nothing special. The biggest annoyance was the lack of water pressure in the shower. We were both so glad have a good shower when we got home. Hard to fix this issue, but there is only one elevator, and it is very small. I can imagine at peak usage, you may have to wait a while to use the elevator. There wasn't very much diversity for the breakfast menu and we tired of it after 4 days. The hotel is alongside a busy highway, but the noise never infiltrated our room. There is a red light at the entrance to the hotel, so no issues coming or going during the busiest traffic. There are a number of good restaurants within 5 mins of the hotel. It takes about 15-20 mins to reach downtown, if that is your goal. This hotel was at least 1/2 the cost or more of downtown hotels. We prefer to be away from the crowds anyway, so this was a good location for us. All of the staff were very friendly and seemed glad to have visitors and were proud to call Charleston home. We enjoyed our stay overall.
