"The AC was so noisy that it kept us awake the 1st night. We turned it off the 2nd night and tolerated a hot and stuffy room. The bed linens were stretched and worn, and the bottom sheet wouldn't stay on the mattress. Choose another hotel. The room wasn't serviced because of Covid, so I couldn't have the bed re-made. The bathroom floor was sticky, and the shower water was lukewarm. The door across the hall was broken, and an old cloth was stuffed into a hole where the doorknob should have been. We won't stay at this hotel again.2021-10-17"

"The hotel room was dirty, and the beds weren't made. We waited and waited for a housekeeper, and finally called again and were moved to another room. Not worth the price.2022-06-13"

"The hotel was old and overpriced, and the housekeeping was terrible.2018-11-15"
"The hotel was in desperate need of upgrading. The wood on the floors was lifting up, the dishwasher was broken, and there was paint missing on parts of the walls. Don't expect an upscale experience or many on-site services.2024-02-01"

"Convenient to MUSC. The hotel was nice and clean, but the water pressure in our 6th-floor room was low, and there was no water in the morning. We called the front desk, but no one answered the phone. We were compensated $75. I'd stay here again because our issues with the water were unusual.2020-10-30"
"I enjoyed this lovely hotel. The employees were nice. Unfortunately, construction noise woke me up at 7 AM each morning.2017-02-25"
"The hotel met our needs. Walk to restaurants and sports bars; not far from the marketplace and law school. The room was comfortable and had a nice balcony, but I didn't like that our room was at the end of a long corridor far from the lobby. We tried to go down the stairs closer to our room and ended up in the kitchen with no access to the lobby. No coffee in the lobby, but lemon water was provided. The staff was amazing. Nice complimentary breakfast. Only valet parking was available. 2016-08-26"
"Clean room, and the housekeepers did a great job. The staff was helpful and kind. Try the fish at The Meeting Place, it was awesome. The entire kitchen staff was to be commended.2015-05-08"
"The location was convenient, but I heard too much noise and didn't sleep well. The room had peeling paint, the carpet was worn, and there were minimal amenities. The housekeepers didn't speak English. Shop around for a better hotel.2019-08-05"
"I informed the hotel clerk that our room had a bug problem, but she didn't seem concerned and said she'd notify housekeeping. The sofa bed and chair were so stained that I didn't want to sit on them. I don't recommend staying here.2019-07-11"
"The hotel was on Meeting Street, but I had to turn right on Reid Street to access the main entrance and valet area. The room was clean, and I liked the ceiling fan in our king suite. The staff was friendly. Quick valet service.2019-02-11"
"The hotel was clean, and the staff was nice. Book it.2018-02-08"

"The hotel was just OK. The carpet was dirty. There was coffee in the room, but no cups. No toaster in the lobby at breakfast because "the knobs broke off." The elevator had broken panels. Stay somewhere else.2023-06-08"
"A terrible experience. We were initially given the wrong room type and had to return to the front desk to ask for another room. There were what looked like blood stains on the curtains, and mold in the pictures. We again asked for a room change; after the 3rd room, we gave up since I was having surgery in the morning and needed to rest. No fridge, and I had medication that needed to be kept cold. The lobby smelled horrible. Don't stay at this hotel.2023-05-14"
"Good value. The hotel room was nice, but didn't have a fridge.2023-04-04"

"The hotel was older but nice. I had a pleasant stay.2023-07-06"
"Not a great value. The hotel was average, but our room smelled bad. The staff sprayed an air freshener, but it just made the problem worse. The shower had drill holes in the tile. Look for a newer property.2019-08-07"
"The hotel staff was welcoming, and the service was great.2017-08-24"
"Good location. The hotel was clean, and the room was contemporary and comfortable. Great, relaxing bar with delicious food. I give this place 5 stars.2021-06-18"
"The hotel was funky and artsy, and had a rooftop bar, wine bar, and coffee shop on-site.2020-07-24"
"An absolutely stunning hotel. A grand entrance led to a magnificent front desk, and the room was beautifully decorated. I parked up the street instead of using valet parking. There was a 24-hour elevator to access cars, and the lot is well-patrolled. Definitely eat at Jestine's Kitchen next door for great comfort food.2016-12-18"
I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
