This Holiday inn was for us a great place. We stayed there two nights. They have a good hot breakfast and a nice lounge to sit in to eat. The rooms were very nice. We were in room 122 and the bed was very comfortable. The pool area was nice, although we didn't use it. Only about 10-15 minutes from down town the old part of Charleston. Straight down the road. There is a Ruby Tuesday in the same parking lot, and a very nice restaurant right across the street in another lodging place. We would differently stay here again.
