All of the staff was very helpful, conveniently located between beaches and in the downtown area. I read that parking was tight but we did not have an issue at all. Breakfast options were nice and easily printed our boarding passes in the lobby.

My main gripe - I generally want to sleep in a hotel, and I slept terribly here. The air con in our room was the noisiest contraption ever - woke us up every night of the stay. Coupled with the 4.30am garbage / recycling collection happening outside the window (we were on the 7th floor) it’s hard to be enthusiastic... More

I am very sorry for your experience. Our goal of course is for all guests to be satisfied and above all have a good night's sleep! One of our great assets is our location in Downtown Charleston near MUSC and the Historic District. Unfortunately that location does couple with city noises. If you would like to contact me I would... More

My sister and I visited Charleston for an extended weekend. I was very pleased with the professionalism I encountered our entire stay. I especially want to give a shout out to one employee in particular. All I know is that her name is Liz. She went out of her way to help my sister and me and never tired of... More

Over I Liked The Hotel. The Rooms Were Clean. It Was Nicely Decorated. The Only Down Side Was How Far It Is From Downtown. Not Walking Distance And The Free Trolleys Weren't As Safe And User Friendly So We Had To Pay For Parking EveryTime We Ventured Downtown.

This Holiday Inn Express is in a great location to MUSC (Medical University of South Carolina), actually walking distance, but has a complimentary shuttle between. Rooms are very nicely decorated, clean, fresh, very enjoyable. Beds have 2 types of pillows and are very comfortable. Lobby is clean and bright. Highly recommend if needed.

Decent value but too many design quirks for staff to overcome. Rooms fairly small with a way too loud A/C unit next to the bed. Bathrooms undersized with no place to store toiletries--and shower doors are backwards--have to climb over toilet to reach shower controls. Insufficient # of parking spaces and if it rains at least half of them will... More

The rate we received was wonderful, but for 3 ladies on a girls trip, the bathroom was too small. The property was nice & clean, staff very professional & helpful, but compared to the Holiday Inn Express Savannah, it lacked a little of the amenities we enjoyed there. The Savannah property had free ice cold water bottles as guests returned... More
