It was in a good location, staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was above average and well managed. The facility could move to 5 stars with a little update, inside and around pool area. We would stay there again without hesitation!

Pleasant Stay

This was a pleasant stay with a short drive to many attractions nearby. The breakfast was great each morning with a lot of variety. The room was a good size. Beds were comfortable but pillows were extremely flat. Room service did come each day and gave us new towels but kept forgetting to replace soap and tissues. The one day they did not make the bed. Overall it was a good stay for the 3 nights we were there and there are a lot of restaurants and stores around. Easy parking in the parking lot.

Very clean property and staff very helpful. The only thing I did not like was housekeeping staff congregating around elevators at start of morning shift complaining about their wages and how they perceived management shortcomings. Not very professional, at minimum inappropriate.

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.
