We chose a room with a balcony facing the main road. We sat outside and enjoyed the view of people watching. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean everything was, considering it was a beachfront hotel. The walk to the beach was a short distance.

Pool was under construction and that was not told to us when we booked the room. Parking is limited and they offer offsite parking but the office didn’t provide us a pass when we checked in. She told us where to park but forgot to give us the pass.

My husband and I have been married for 13 years and have never taken a trip together without our children. This year we decided to sneak down to isle of palms and reset with just us. Everything was perfect, the hotel is a smaller “boutique style” place and we loved it. Not overcrowded, everything you need is within walking distance. Only 20 minutes or so from downtown Charleston. We ended up extending our stay 1 more night because we enjoyed it so much. Stephanie, the front desk employee was fantastic🙂 she was kind, helpful and went out of her way to accommodate us. (give that girl a raise)! we will definitely be back.

Horrible rooms- bathroom were not clean. Brown chunks come from the shower/tub. It’s hard to get the rooms clean- even going to the front desk and asking won’t guarantee a clean room. Will not be staying here again.

Hotel location was right in the middle of everything!! It was great! Very walkable even for people like us with foot and leg issues. Room location wasn't so good. Paid extra for the beach view, but that was kind of blocked by a building and we were put over a restaurant/bar. Also, loads of towels were available! It is an older hotel, but it was clean and neat. Loved the wide inner hallway. Parking under the hotel is an issue so beware. Had to pay $76 more for two vehicles in the public parking area. Overall, I would come back. You really can't beat the hotel location.

The pool was under construction and we didn’t mind that, but we didn’t realize that meant that our room would be right next to the pool, and jack hammering started at 9am every morning. My boyfriend also fell in the elevator because a railing came off. The level of construction happening here should have had the place close down for a week. Our trip was great despite how awful the hotel was.
