We did like that the staff was mostly nice and accommodating. There was security outside the office and walking around during the night hours which was nice it made us feel safer. The bathroom had black mold and was disgusting. Our bed only had 2 paper thin pillows and the sheets on the bed had holes and yellow stains. We had to ask for more pillows and blankets. No bugs tho, despite the previous reviews. So at least there’s that. Not a convenient location if you’re interested in going to the beach everyday. But honestly for this being one of the cheapest hotels in Charleston it was not bad at all for the price. If you’re looking for a cheap motel that’s what you get here. If you’re staying more than a couple days I wouldn’t waste your money on this motel I’d get something nicer for a better deal.

If you stay few days, you need reactivate the key card daily, bed clothing not be changed, room floor dirty, people fighting or loud discussion outside the room, cats everywhere, hard smoke odor in the rooms, if the room says "fridge and microwave included" let me tell you that the microwave is not in your room, you need go to le lobby reception for use the microwave, and they just have one. Horrible experience.

For this property being aged as it is, it's probably one of the best ones I have resided in. I am in the process of moving and needed an in between spot for the next couple months. This place met my criteria, close to public transportation, restaurants, and shopping as well as the price! The staff here are very friendly and helpful! You have round the clock desk staff unlike some properties, vending machines available 24hrs a day, staffed security guard, and again very friendly staff!

Upon check in we were met with a rude desk attendant. Our rooms were not ready. One room didnt have a shower curtain, the other had no fridge or microwave and the bath mat towel had black foot prints. The property is inundated with drug deals and prostitution. The pool was chained off and a light shade of green.

Overall, the hotel was substandard, cheap, dirty, ghetto and since it was beside a major highway, it was noisy all night. The only good things were the price, location and the accommodating staff but I won't return.

I didn't end up staying here and still waiting on my refund. The room was infested with roaches. There was on only 2 pillows and a fitted sheet on the bed. Half of the lights in the room didn't work. None of the tables had been wiped off and we're sticky. There was urine in the toilet still. Besides all the roaches there was trash on the floor. The refrigerator still had food inside of it. I asked for another room, but none were available and the check in agent said that she would have given me a refund, but since I purchased it through Expedia, that all I needed to do was tell them about the issues and that they didn't have a problem with providing me with a refund. It's been over a week and I'm still waiting. Guess I'm going to have to dispute it with my bank now. I will never use a third party app to rent a room again. I guess the phrase the customer's always right no longer exists.

When I pulled up I already knew I messed up. Upon arriving to my room which had no towels. Filthy shower, stains on the bedding, and dead roaches on the floor I thought I’d try to tough it out. I sat at the desk chair while I finally convinced myself to get a different room. Knowing they wouldn’t refund my money I just left and went to the Best Western. Cleanest thing about the room was oddly enough the toilet. Expedia shouldn’t even advertise this property…

The staff at check in and check out were nice. However, the bed only had a top sheet and the mattress looked dirty and stained.. also the door was hard to lock as it looked like it had been kicked in before and some of the lights in the room didn’t work. The gang tags on the side of the A.C. unit in the room was charming touch though.

The staff was above and beyond. Latisha and Shenna made the stay more comfortable. If the owners updated the bathrooms it could get 5 stars. Overall it looked dodgy as hell, but I would chance it again. It's a great place for a trucker on overnight. The grounds were clean, the property does feel inviting.

I just wish the rooms would be done better sometimes there’s no remote in the rooms and if there is, there’s no batteries and sometimes there’s no comforter on the bed and you’re sleeping With just sheets only. But I always stay there for the staff. They’re excellent!

People live there and they hang out outside at all hours. This is a “I need to sleep somewhere tonight and only have 75$” kinda place. Def not a family vacation or business trip kinda stay lol.

The front desk was very polite and professional. Other than that, the property is dirty. Room said no smoking but Stunk of cigarettes. The window was broken. The microwave didn’t work. Everything in the room was just wore out and tired. You could tell that a lot of people lived there at the hotel full time. Only positive I can think of was that the room was cheap. The next closest hotel in price that would have been significantly better would have been another $50 per night. So it is what it is. Just putting it out there that it’s cheap for a reason.

Door security lock was was broken and not usable. No coffee in the room or even in the lobby. Staff were very rude and unfriendly. I will never stay at this hotel again and would never recommend anyone else to stay there.
