The property itself is fine, it’s perfectly fine motor lodge, it’s Justin a part of town that has nothing in it. Also, charging $200 for incidentals is ridiculous.

This place was absolutely not what I was expecting. Everything inside the rooms were updated and high functioning. Even the internet worked better than any other place I've stayed recently. The lounge was amazing on Wednesday night to listen to live music and the staff were friendly and helpful. I have to say this is a must stay and I will be back. The only knock on it is the area surrounding is not the best. However there were zero issues while we were there and I feel comfortable enough to come back several times.5 stars!

Easy Hotel to Stay At

Renovated 60s themed hotel just north of Charleston. Automated check-in and check-out process that was seamless. I would absolutely stay here again.

Classic styling of the 60’s and very well appointed upgrades don’t deter from the vibe. Surrounding area is a little downtrodden and industrial but felt very safe.

Locals love the place

I actually stayed at this location. Many years ago, around the time of hurricane hugo, It was a no to tell motel at that point. The new owners have done a marvelous job of totally revamping and remodeling the room was industrial chic.. I loved everything about it the retro refrigerator..charging points and all contactless

So cool

Love this place! It’s easy and comfortable and they have a cool bar/lounge (Burgundy Lounge). No restaurant on site, but there are places nearby to drive to (King BBQ and Rebel Tequila, and Kitchen Junction, to name a few!). Area looks a bit dodgy but it’s not- it’s just not ruined like the rest of CHS. Enjoy your stay x
