The beach view was nice, but we were on the opposite end of building. There was no where to sit on 3rd floor balcony, it was blocked off. The one positive was the bed was comfortable. BUT. We were so tired, the pavement would have sufficed. The room it self wasn't bad, other than the AC unit was noisy. The room window opened, which is a plus for us. The bathroom was HORRIFYING. And a lot of basic upkeep and repairs could have made it decent. As it was, the ENTIRE bathroom floor flooded during our showers due to the shower curtain being 3" to short and being a fabric instead of vinyl. HELLO! Any one hear of Walmart or Amazon? $8 could have resolved THAT ISSUE. All the metal fixtures, including the door frame to the bathroom were rusty and corroded. Just begging for a tetanus shot. All the hardware was screwed into sheetrock with 2" screws, so as a result, all the towel bars etc were partially pulled out. For what ever reason, maintenance decided to paint the tiles of the shower floor, which was peeling. Not exactly hygenic. Foot fungus for every body! Even the bar soap provided was gross. It smelled rancid like old cooking oil? Maybe it was kept somewhere with out climate control. Now, I'm not one of the whiners that typically leave reviews. And belive me if this room had been priced appropriately ( $100 or less) I would be less critical. But OVER $200 OFF SEASON for this sh#t hole is CRAZY WORK.Oh! The best part was the damn smoke alarm that went off due to shower steam.

We made a last-minute decision to extend our stay in the Charleston area to take advantage of the great weather, booking three nights at Isle of Palms. Since we didn’t rent a car, we wanted to stay somewhere right on the beach. Our search results included the Seacoast Inn, averaging about $179 per night. It was one of the more affordable options—and once we arrived, we understood why. The room was clean but dated and a bit worn down. There were scuff marks on the floor, a towel rack coming loose from the wall, and metal doors showing rust where the paint had chipped away. The air conditioning unit was quite noisy, and the temperature in the room swung between too cold and too warm throughout the night. After 11:30 p.m., the front desk and office are locked, and calls to the front desk are redirected to another hotel nearby. I’m not sure if that setup contributed to the rowdy group of guests just outside our room, but between that noise and the AC, sleep was hard to come by. Overall, it was a decent place for the price, but definitely a “you get what you pay for” experience. We learned our lesson and will likely look for a different hotel next time under similar circumstances.

View was beautiful however hotel needs updating. Toilet roll holder fell off the wall. Shower curtain too short and stuck out so that water flooded the floor while showering. Beds were not comfortable and outside light kept the room bright all night. Location for good, drinks and shopping were great.

Walls are thin so you can hear the other tenants; however, the room was sanitary and housekeeping was consistent. Location was great for being on the beach. Parking is a ways out but not too far. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Free bottles of water is available at the front desk.

The hotel is located right by the ocean, but it could use some renovations. There are plenty of cafes and a grocery store nearby. Towels, shampoo, and shower gel are provided in the room. Breakfast is very meager; there's no place to sit and eat. There are benches with an ocean view on the ground floor, but they are wet and dirty in the morning.

First, I did not receive a single reminder of this reservation, nor a confirmation email. Second, I wasn’t able to make it to Charleston for medical reasons yet was charged the full rate of missing the stay. Poor communication , inability for any type of flexibility and unfriendly customer support - rating of 1 out of 10, wish I could rate a 0.

We were disappointed in the hotel considering the price we paid. The room had rust stains in some areas and could have been dusted better. The addition parking lot across the road did have a sign but there were car parking in front of the sign both days.

"Ocean view" was not as we expected. Literally have to lean out the door to see the ocean. Property in good shape but definitely in need of some maintenance/TLC. Room itself and bathroom was great. BIGGEST complaint is I asked for a late checkout the day prior to departure. Night clerk said we could have a 1pm checkout. The next day the office called asking why we were still there. I explained that we had requested to late check out the night before. The front desk clerk said he did not have info that we had a late checkout, then accused us of making it up. I understand sometimes things aren't communicated between shifts, but I was very offended that he accused us of telling a lie.
