When traveling with pets, it is hard to find a decent hotel. We found this hotel to be clean and very pet friendly. The staff were very friendly and helpful, room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was ok, great coffee.

Great hotel! Very clean and service was great. I would have liked to see waffles at breakfast though.

Based on several other reviews around the Charleston area, I went ahead and shelled out the extra $20/night for a motel without hot & cold running roaches.

Check-in:
When I pulled into the parking lot, I had to circle the building to find an open space, and was a bit concerned about the neighborhood. A couple of the first floor (smoking) rooms were missing their wall AC units, and I could see through the vent hole into the room!! Fortunately the 3rd floor room I received was clean, although the place had definitely seen better days.

The single king bed was on top of 2 double-sized box springs, one of which was severely sagging. On the plus side, the linens and blanket were clean after I tossed the bedspread on the lazy-boy.

The tub didn't have any of the stains other reviewers noticed at this motel, but it had gotten a re-bath at some point, and squeaked wherever I stepped. There was plenty of hot water, which is a necessity for me.

I didn't remember seeing it advertised on the motel's website, but the room also had a micro-fridge that seemed to be in good condition.

Morning:
Breakfast was a bare-minimum continental served in the lobby, and there weren't any tables in the "breakfast area" which meant balancing a bowl of cereal and coffee up 3 flights of stairs (no elevator).

Both the night and morning attendants were friendly and pleasant, despite having to field phone calls and a couple other guests at the same time.

I had called ahead to make sure they had an iron & board, and was pleasantly surprised that the board was a full size fold-up instead of the usual tabletop dorm-sized board.

Final Impressions:
If you need a cheap, clean room with quick access to downtown Charleston, this is probably one of the best motels available. As far as value is concerned, I probably could have gotten a better deal 10-20 miles down the road.

We stopped for the night on our way to the coast. It was convenient, right off the interstate and better than sleeping in the car. We had a sort of half basement room and I looked out the window at the wheels and underbelly of a semi. The room smelled funny and the full size bed was way too soft. I know most people complain about hard beds but this felt like a big duffel bag stuffed with socks.

The only service we had was check-in and check-out, which went smoothly. Continental breakfast, even for free (included in the $75 for the room) was lame.
