room was clean. my room was on the end. very loud whirling motor noise(sounded like a generator ) starting at 7 am. was counting on sleeping late..that didn't happen so went down to the lobby for some cereal. there was a continental bar and a hot bar. .Server announced to 2 couples in front of me, that if you wanted the hot breakfast bar the charge is $5.00, which led me to assume that the cereal was free. I was wrong.. I got a bill for $8.75 for a bowl of frosted flakes. Server told me i had to be a gold member to get free. i saw no sign anywhere. why give the price of the hot breakfast and not the other?? If i didn't get such a good deal on Priceline, I would definitely be upset.

I stayed here only because someone else had booked the hotel. Honestly, I've never understood staying at a Holiday Inn when they have their Express brand next door.

I assumed this would be an above avg hotel since you typically pay a bit more than an Express. It wasn't. The hotel was clean; but plain, a little dated, and didn't seem as good as most HIE's I stay in.

Mediocre at best. I'd try the HIE next door when I'm in town again.

My boyfriend and I went for New Year's Eve Weekend. The lady at the front desk when we arrived Friday night made checking in a breeze, and was very helpful in finding us a cab downtown. The lobby and our room were very clean. Our room smelled of smoke, and I soon noticed the ash trays on the tables and realized we had gotten a smoking room. I'm not one to fuss over things I should have noticed while booking, and I knew we would be out of the room most of the weekend, and didn't bother changing rooms. All in all our room was very clean, housekeeping did a great job, and the front desk service was excellent. We didn't use any of the facilities the hotel offered, or eat at the hotel restaurant as we were there to enjoy the restaurants of downtown Charleston, however from what I could see it looked just as clean as the rest of the hotel. For the excellent price and service, I was very pleased and I'd say much better than coughing up the several hundred each night for a room in downtown Charleston for New Year's Eve Weekend.

We got a great deal through Priceline on a room in Mount Pleasant at the Holiday Inn. We arrived to a very spacious & clean room. The hotel lobby is nice as well. It was New Year's Eve, so it was very festive atmosphere. The evening clerk (don't recall her name) was very friendly and helpful. Check-in was a breeze. We actually got a "handicap" room, which was very nice and spacious, but the shower was a bit challenging due to the hand held sprayer and lack of water pressure - and the water didn't get hot enough for my taste, personally.

We visited the bar area & had a light snack & adult beverage before heading out for our NYE event in downtown Charleston. The service was a bit slow & stilted, but we liked the convenience.

We stayed 3 nights & housekeeping did a great job of cleaning our room whenever we were out (we made sure to put our "do not disturb" sign out so they'd know when they could access the room). However, they failed to give us enough plastic/foam cups for beverages and forgot to give us coffee condiments. Still, they were unobtrusive and did not create any unnecessary noise.

The 1st night, we were awakened in the wee hours of the morning by a crying baby next door - this went on for hours. We hated to complain, but we finally had to call down to the desk & let them know as we weren't able to sleep (the walls are pretty thin). They got right on it and we didn't hear much else after that.

We did miss not having a free breakfast of any sort (but made do in our room), the lack of a fridge/microwave in our room and not having a hot tub or jacuzzi accessible. However, we know that's the deal when you get a room when bidding on Priceline.

The convenience to downtown Charleston is great. We were able to drive there within 10 minutes and since we love the Ravenel bridge, it was always a pleasure to see it each time we traveled. We also went for a long walk to Patriot's Point. It's nice that you can do this from the hotel. There are general restaurants in the area, but we come for the downtown experience, so didn't venture into any of these.

All in all, our stay at the Holiday Inn in Mount Pleasant was very nice, especially considering the price. We'd definitely stay there again under similar circumstances.
