The included breakfast was delightfully good in comparison to other hotels that offer the same amenity. The hotel was also nice and clean and the staff was very friendly. This hotel is in a convenient area outside of downtown Charleston if you are looking to explore some of the southern areas around Charleston.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ 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.
