I've stayed here several times. The rates are decent. The rooms are clean. I like the location because of the view of the harbor and the easy access to US 17. Restaurants and attractions in Charleston are a short drive away.

Stayed here 2 nights pre-cruise and it was great! Arrived late on a Wednesday evening, no problems checking in. Walked to the California Dreaming restaurant down the marina from the hotel for a late dinner which was AWESOME!! I had reserved a king room with a marina view and requested the highest floor available which is the 4th floor. Very happy to have gotten that request fulfilled as this was also a birthday trip for me! Only had breakfast on one morning of our stay and it was the usual waffles, oatmeal, bagels/donuts, cereal, stuff which was great. I had some toast and boiled eggs while my husband had a blueberry bagel. Worked out great for us! I used the fitness center both mornings of our stay and it was great. Only one treadmill, a bike, an elliptical, and some weight machine. I run so the treadmill was perfect for me. The first morning there was one other person there but no one on the next day so I had the place all to my self which was nice. They also have a tv in there which was great for having the news/weather on. They also have 2 computers anyone can use to check email etc in the lobby which was nice. Our room was great, very clean and very comfortable. No problems with anything except the batteries in the remote were dead, which was an easy fix after a trip to the front desk. The hotel does offer a shuttle to downtown where you pay $8 per person and you can ride it back and forth from downtown to the hotel and back all day long for that flat rate, which worked out perfectly for us. Even though we had a car we didn't want the hassle of driving/parking in downtown Charleston. Left our car parked here while we were on our cruise and had no issues at all, felt very safe leaving it parked there. I would definitely stay here again!

Had a nice stay for three nights in January, with my wife and daughter and 2 dogs. Very nice location , minutes into downtown Charleston. Staff is friendly and helpful. Actually my only real criticism has to do with some of the other dog owners. Here we have such a dog friendly hotel management, and a few bad apples take advantage of this policy by not cleaning up after their pets outdoors.( Right along the street in front of the hotel are free clean up bags.) I think that's disgusting as a dog lover, imagine what non dog people think. Please clean up after your pets, and then everyone can enjoy this great hotel!

Myself and two female companions stayed one night in late Dec. 2011. The room was clean, comfortable and felt safe. The price was very good. Access to the highway is very convenient. We'd stayed at another La Quinta in Jacksonville, FL the week after for two different nights and were pleased with the price and amenities there also, so we're pretty much sold on them for reasonable, clean and safe overnight stays while on the road. The complimentary continental breakfast was very adequate. I'd stay here again without hesitation.
