Our trip was for both business and pleasure, and we had never stayed at this particular hotel before. We were more than pleasantly surprised, to say the least. The location was wonderful, close to a huge mall, as well as many great dining establishments, other smaller malls, and yet only a few minutes from downtown historic Charleston, as well as the beaches.

The room was more than adequate, with a great panoramic view, nice open layout to the room, and everything was neat, clean and well cared for. The kitchen was well equipped, and it was great to have the full sized fridge and stove, as we actually ended up extending out stay another day, partly because it was so easy to stay there. Everything we needed was right there.

Staff was attentive, friendly, helpful and every one of them pleasant to be around and converse with. While we were not able to partake of the pool, due to rainstorms every time we had time in our schedule to go there, the pool was clean, and we saw many folks enjoying the facilities, and we did stop to listen to some of them playing guitar and singing around poolside.

Since I have rental property there nearby, as well as friends and former coworkers I had to say goodbye to when I moved from Charleston, I will be returning often, and when I do, I hope there is "room for me at the inn", at Studio Plus. They offer a great facitlity, and I hope to return often.

I like the comforts of home in this hotel, There is a kitchenette in the room, you can cook your own breakfast if you want to sleep in. The rooms are very clean, and this is my main concern when i stay at a hotel. There is a convient shopping mall less than a mile away. Best price I have seen on a nice room like this.

This hotel is not particularly friendly to families with younger children. Our one year old was barely speaking loudly and the attendant called our room to tell us to quiet him down. I actually wanted to leave after that. Also, the rooms and halls are fragranced with an odor of wet dogs and pet feces. The pool was not properly chlorined, as it relates to health department guidelines. The pool also seemed as if it was not cleaned of trash and debris in weeks. Transients control and reign over this property; Construction workers, landscapers, contractors, etc. It shows and the fact that this establishment lacks class and dignity in that these transients are allowed to drink beer openly, roam the halls loudly, and complain because of the fact that they have to get up earlier than the tourists in order to go to work. As a result , this establishment will side with them and call your room and ask you to keep the noise down in order to accomodate their beloved transients. I'LL NEVER TAKE MY CHILDREN THERE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm unsure why the there are such rough reviews about this location. It is a no frills place to stay, and really could use updating. However, it has seemed to be a safe, clean and pleasant place to stay. Sometimes we take our elderly dog with us and I have felt ok going outside here late in the evening. The staff (Latisha and another young lady) were really helpful and nice. The rates are reasonable and it's close to shopping and restaurants. Right off the highway, I think about 15-20 min from downtown. I'll go back.
