We were not informed the property was undergoing a renovation. The lobby was nonexistent, just a check-in desk. The elevators, also looked like a construction zone. The construction noise began at 8am and continued all day. Our room had not yet been renovated, and although it was clean, it was old. Water pressure in the shower was very low, window curtains had mold. BUT, the staff was GREAT! Always smiling, professional, and helpful to do what they could to help us.

I chose to be close to MUSC. I didn't pay for a "grab and go" breakfast that consisted of a rubbery bagel that was gross. The place was being renovated. That would have been nice to have known when selecting along with the breakfast. Absolutely ridiculous.

They were under renovation, it felt like all the fumes they produced felt like I hailed, constant smell of cigarettes and marijuana on our floor. Yes I understand they were renovating but we were never made aware of this at the time of booking which is something that should have been known. Lastly when on vacation this is the last thing you wanna deal with, aswell as the breakfeast portion, it was a grab and go from a small table. I wouldn’t recommend for a while until the big renovation is complete. The room was the only okay thing but I wouldn’t be proud to say it was adequate but for the price I guess you get what you deserve.

Fine stay

We stayed for 2n. The hotel is under renovation( not aware fr booking). No lobby they have mini reception tucked in the corner. I booked a standard 2 queen bed room. The room has tv, microwave, refrigerator & mini kuerig(that we don't use it, not sure if it's been cleaned). The bed was firm & comfy beddings were cleaned. Bathroom not enough space to put your toiletries not even a towel rack. The shower has no pressure because it doesn't close from faucet to shower. No hot breakfast but "only to go" because no eating area They have outdoor pool if the weather was permitted. The fitness room not available they use as a storage.

The staff were friendly. However, the building is under construction making it noisy and dirty. There was a layer of dust in most areas. Parking was very limited with some of the parking spaces being used to store construction materials. Very limited dinning within the immediate area. Would not stay here again.

Property was under construction. This was not disclosed upon booking. Was not worth the price charged. Our room was poor quality. The electrical was all connected by extension cords that were half plugged in to the wall (Total fire hazard). Mini fridge started making banging noises and didn't seem to be cooling properly.

Horrible

This hotel is disgusting. My daughter found hair in her bed and a bandaid in the sheets. When I went to ask for new sheets front desk said she didn’t know if she had access to them as they were renovating the hotel. Front desk person one of the nights had her 3 children at work with her sitting at the front desk. Loud people next to us. Mold in shower. No where to park.

Extent of renovations were not disclosed up front. There was no sitting area in the lobby and breakfast was limited to frozen sausage biscuits, muffins, some yogurt, and granola bars. Virtually no signs of housekeeping during our 4 day stay. We were told at registration that housekeeping would come every 3 days. On the 4 day I asked the front desk only for them to say it was "by request" only.
