There was considerable noise from the work being done around pool area and redoing walk for beach sccess. Room was clean and comfortable although there is random noise at night. Hard to figure out the source, if it's mechanical or guests. Our room was near the elevator so we heard it everytime it stopped, then walking and talking from guests. Breakfast was adequate but a couple more tables would be nice as there is room in the area. Some guests put plates on counter tops and stood to eat. Hotel does call it 'grab and go'. Excellent beach access when using walkways beside hotel. Limited on site parking and hotel does have access to municipal parking. Hotel charges a parking fee either way. Isle of Palms is a great beach and must deal with crowds so this hotel is convenient to restaurants and stores and having paid parking is necessary, I suppose. So it's a mix between noise and limited space vs clean room and beach access.

The property charged us for parking and you said they wouldn't, that the money we paid you was all it will cost. Also they closed their pool. Dissatisfied

Not what it used to be!

The room was very clean and the housekeeping staff were awesome. Check in was less than welcoming and the state of upkeep and repair of the room were subpar. Been staying here for years and the decline was gradual but now it’s just sad.

Doors to room and balcony extremely hard to open. Broken handles on hallway door. Safe didn’t work. Exposed outlet covers.. broken vent covers exposed. Reported to office multiple times … said maintanence would look at issues never did. Checked out day early due to noise levels from room and outside of rooms. Would not go back. Very disappointed

Staff were rude-the cleaning person a met us leaving our room, asked if we were checking out. We told him no. About 15 minutes later(9:47am) knocked on our door and told us we had to check out at 11am. Our room was right across from the elevator- it was nonstop noise until 4:30am, sounded like everyone was right in our room, even with a constant fan on.
