“Rough Area”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2012 NEW

We arrived Memorial Day weekend. All hotels were booked or we'd have left. The a/c wasn't on & when we turned it on, it was loud & took 36 hrs to cool the room. There was a roach trap taped inside the TV cabinet & I looked for bedbugs, but there was not any. The phone didn't work part of the time & the front desk didn't give correct info on breakfast room time. I gave our maid $5 tip & she stiffed us on extra towels & left no toiletries. This part of North Charleston has a lot of crime, & sirens blasting frequently. In fact, there was an incident across the street our first night there. I was not privy to this info prior to booking. On Monday morning as we were leaving, there was a woman begging money from the guests. This review is true & we are seasoned military travelers. Very disappointing for a Choice brand hotel!

Room Tip: Sorry, but I cannot recommend staying here.

“Dated Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2012 NEW

I stayed here on Memorial Day and while it was conveniently located the hotel was dated. the room had a bit of a musty/smokey odor even though it was non smoking. The night before I had stayed in a lesser rater Choice hotel, Quality Innn North, which was an older motel with exterior doors. It was $10 less per night and had better closer amenities. Both rooms were furnished and cleaned about the same.

“Friendly service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012

Tammy answered the phone when I called and she was very polite and professional. When we arrived Tammy greeted us with a smile and was very helpful. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel has obviously been renovated but it is clean and comfortable and a good location.

“Far from great”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

There were a lot of little things wrong here, enough to make me regret my choice.

The clock radio ran fast. Unbelievable. It updated an hour every 50 minutes. We stayed there two days and I reset the clock several times. I finally unplugged it. Reported to the front desk, no fix.

Telephone had a dial tone. Dialing did nothing and there were no dialing instructions. Reported to the front desk, no fix.

The desk chair rollers did not roll, making it hard to move around. Reported to the front desk, no fix.

Toilet had a leak and refilled with water every 20 minutes or so. Loudly, I might add.

Analog TV. At least an analog TV shows an analog picture better than a digital TV.

Hair dryer did not work. When my wife complained, a staff member took her to a 'secret' room off a stairwell on the seventh floor and let her dry her hair there. Turned out the bathroom electrical outlet did not work.

Dining room too small.

Slow wifi. It went out five times. The front desk reset the router each time & it worked for a while.

Why did I choose this location? To get the free transportation to/from the cruise terminal. It was a good service, well run by a helpful driver. But would I stay here again? No.

I’m sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. It is disappointing that my staff did not deal with your concerns with a sense of urgency. We will be meeting to discuss this. Please know that since your stay our WIFI equipment has been upgraded and we have not had any complaints. I shared this review with our front desk staff and one representative remembered assisting your wife with the hair dryer. We have addressed the desk chair, the bathroom outlets, and replaced the clock radio in the room that you were in. I once again thank you for the review because it helps us improve our skills and in turn improve the experience of our guests.
