we were driving back from nc and were needing a room for the night and we could NOT find a room within 50 miles of charleston. I guess every weekend, you better have your reservation about a month in advance or you'll be sleeping in your car. we came across a recommendation of another hotel and came across this little motel, which has 5 star standards. it's the cleanest, nicest and most peaceful room we stayed at. the view of the river and mountaing was surprisingly BEAUTIFUL, the staff was VERY NICE and FRIENDLY. we loved the room. the room was very clean, in fact, spotless and the bed was so comfortable and the rates were UNBEATABLE! we had a great stay and would highly recommend this one, if you're just passing through charleston (which more than likely you are!), stay here for a good night's rest and great rates. you'll save money and be surprised with the view. 5 star for this one...
