“Okay Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2008

This is an okay hotel as far as location goes. The price was a bit more than we expected for an average decor type hotel with mediocre staffing. The rooms are a bit small and the beds are not comfortable in my opinion. The breakfast was okay....make your own waffles and they are outstanding. We utilized the outdoor pool quite a bit and watched the military planes fly over....it was amazing and loud. Overall....good stay but forgettable. Will definitely try another place next time.

  • Liked — Pool was decent, breakfast was better than expected
  • Disliked — Average decor, okay staff, small, hotel and rooms

“Wonderful place!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2008

The hotel is difficult to find, we had to call for directions. Then when arriving we saw AND HEARD a C130 taking off from the nearby air force base, and we were worried about noise. But once there was very pleased overall, and found it to be sufficiently sound-proofed; never even heard any noise from neighboring rooms or the hallway--very peaceful and quiet. The room was large and very clean, and the bed was quite comfortable. The shower had good water pressure and gave hot water immediately. We arrived in time on Friday for the complimentary happy hour--no cheap stuff here, full "bar" offerings. The complimentary breakfast is a well stocked deluxe continental buffet which includes hot french toast and sausage, and ready to make waffles in addition to the usual items. Right across the street is the Tanger Outlet mall and there are many restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend this hotel for business or leisure travel.

  • Liked — Large, clean room
  • Disliked — Indifferent front desk clerks (except for Jason who was extremely friendly and helpful)

“Not worth the money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2007

Stayed at the Wingate in North Charleston for one night. First room we were given, walked into the bathroom and noticed that there was standing water and rusty cracks at the bottom of the bathtub. Asked to be moved to a different room. The second room was a little better. However, seems like this hotel might have been remodeled within the last couple of years but they didn't do a very good job. Wall paper in the bathroom was peeling, carpets looked a little worn, and room just had a musty kind of feel to it like it wasn't really clean. Tried to workout in the exercise room..one treadmill was broken and the other one worked but I it was very slow and I don't think it was accurate as far as pace/speed displayed on the monitor. For a discounted rate for $120/night with AAA didn't really seem like a bargain. I've stayed at other Wingates and I don't think this one stands up to their good reputation.

Stayed October 2007

“Simply the BEST!!!”

I stay there often. If I get there at 9 am, I am always allowed to check in. The rooms are great. It's safe. Wireless has never been a problem. I've stayed there numerous times. They are very accomodating! Nice breakfast bar. Homemade waffles. I don't drink, but there is a happy hour.

  • Liked — The room size, cleanliness, and the breakfast.
  • Disliked — Nothing! Loved everything.

“Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2006

people found this review helpful

This was a nice, and reasonably priced hotel in North Charoleston. For us, it was $94 a night in early March (the 11th). The rooms were clean, nice, and functional - although not overly impressive in grandeur (which I wasn't expecting). The bathroom's shower was most lovely though, and actually had a good stream going unlike most hotel showers. In addition to a king size bed, the room also had: a couch, comfy matching chair, coffee table, desk with chair, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

It is near the airport so there was some airplane noise but not anything annoying in its noise or frequency. The hotel itself was a little noisy, but that had more to do with our room being right beside the laundry facilities where the staff was in and out of all early morning long.

The business center was nice and featured two computers with high speed internet access. One computer was a dream, but the other you'd have better luck with if you were to just find two rocks and beat them together instead. There was a printer hooked up to the computers.

The free continental breakfast (open until 9am on weekdays, and 10am on weekends) was good featuring waffles, yogurt, fresh fruit, muffins, toast, and other such foods.
