The pool was not in working condition and looked like it had been green for a while. The room never really cooled down. Breakfast was a joke and they took away the coffee immediately at 10am.

Do not stay here unless it's your only option. Front desk (woman) had an attitude. Lady, get a grip - there was no reason to be that rude. Toilet was broken in the morning somehow?? Had to call and have someone come and fix it. He turned a few screws and it worked again- so it's just horribly managed. Very unsafe part of town near where I used to live for years, but had no clue it gotten that bad.

I never write reviews but I have to this time if for no other reason to warn others under no circumstance to stay here. First off when you pull in there are several stray cats all over the parking lot, with fly infested dishes everywhere so there’s clearly no attempt to get rid of them. Next we could not even get into the room without repeatedly kicking the door to get it open. When we finally we able to into the room it was full of flys every where. When we went to the pool there were no towels so we asked the lady at the front desk and she informed us there weren’t any. The entire hotel didn’t have a single extra towel?! The pool area itself was filthy and the pool was covered in leaves. In addition the room I booked was a “pool view room”. The rooms view was completely obscured by huge overgrown bushes, along with every other similar room. When we returned to the room we again tried for 5-10 minutes to simply try to gain entry to our room without success so we went to the front desk to see if she could send someone to assist. Go figure, there wasn’t. After finally physically kicking the door repeatedly to open it the room was full of even more flys and now several centipedes crawling around as well. Also there are so many lights and traffic on the main road it takes 45 to get to/from Charleston. I implore you you to not make the same mistake we did. DO NOT give them your business

Love your working cat employee!

Little bit dated. Outside halls with only stairs to upper levels. Clean. Decent but not exciting hotel breakfast. Best feature was the friendly outside rescue cat. (Ear tipped.)

The carpet was so dirty my feet turned black walking barefoot on it. Rooms are old and dated but on the plus side, the bed is comfortable. Outside was fairly dirty and unkept and poison Ivey was everywhere, even on the walkways. Bathroom and shower had been updated so that was good.
