Liked: Cleanliness
Location was fantastic. Communication was great. Only negatives were both beds were soft and older. There were no box springs and the slightest movement was loud and shifted the entire mattress. They do warn you that the A/C units turn on sporadically to regulate the humidity. Be warned that they are not quiet when they turn on and they will come on multiple times in the middle of the night. We never woke up to the sounds from King street, but we did wake up suddenly to the loud sounds coming from the units in the wall.

Fantastic location and property. Visiting our daughter at College of Charleston and we’re very happy with this stay. Place was just as advertised - clean, quiet, and located in the heart of King Street. We dined close by and lived the parking so close by for the weekend. Linen and towels all clean and soft. Would stay again!!

Great location. Easy walk to many sites, restaurants, etc. Communication with manager was timely and easy. HVAC units were a bit fussy and no windows/natural light in bedrooms were the only negatives.
