    The pool was clean and we enjoyed spending time there. Breakfast was also very good with a wide variety of food to choose from. I particularly loved the coffee that was available 24 hours a day! Overall we were very satisfied with our stay!

    We stayed in this hotel for one night. The check-in process was smooth. The room was clean and surprisingly quiet. The only issue we experienced was that the water in the bathtub and sink would not drain very well, so I was standing in a puddle up to my ankles while showering. We heard them working on the plumbing the next morning though, so maybe they fixed it. I'd say for the price, this was a good hotel experience. Also, breakfast was not bad.

    Furniture in the room needs to be updated.

    I would have loved to have some grits with cheese for breakfast and maybe some scrambled eggs over all everything was great

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Overall, I had a pleasant stay. The hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout my visit. The bedroom and bathroom were both clean, and the beds were comfortable, which made for a good night's sleep. The only area that could use some improvement is the carpet, as it appeared to need a deep cleaning. Other than that, it was a good experience, and I would consider staying here again.

    Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very good.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Check in took a little while. It was not a very quick process. The elevator took a long time and was hot inside it. There was trash in the hallway on the floor. Mold and mildew around the bathtub. Room size and set up was nice though. Wouldn’t recommend staying there.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I liked the fresh ground coffee in the lobby

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I cannot recommend this hotel. Ahowe drained slowly, no coffee maker in room, 24 hour fitness room not usable until 8am because there is a guest room next to it. But worst of all the back door to the hotel could not latch or lock, leaving the room halls open to anyone who wanders in. Another guest review cited this 26 days ago yet it had not been fixed

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Functional, clean and value priced for an overnight stay

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Our room was very nice, clean and cozy and we got some really good rest there. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Parking was also very convenient.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Check in was easy, room was clean, pool was great and breakfast was a highlight. I would stay here again.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The key for the room would not unlock the side door for the week. The front desk was aware but no one came to fix the problem.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very good

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Todo bien

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Location, Price, rooms were clean and so was pool. Service desk attendants... SOME could have been more pleasant. One even came across as rude. Check in person was on great. So just depends on who you get. No air in elevator or second floor hallway. Second floor hallway smells a little musky. We were done in plenty of time, but lady started taking up condiments off tables at 9 am when breakfast is served until 9:30. I could see others rushing through line because of it. The MOST uncomfortable bed and pillows I have ever slept on!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very nice and clean hotel. Breakfast was good and really enjoyed the 24 hr coffee in the lobby.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The biggest issue was ! There was no AC in the elevator or hallways. It was 87 degrees outside . There were a few dark hairs on the bathroom floor . But the staff was great guy at the front desk & the lady at the morning buffet was so very nice . Food was good & lots of choices.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It was a good stay. About 15min drive to Folley Beach and Sullivans Island

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Vending machines consisted of coke and club soda. No food or other drink options.
