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.

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.

Not worth the money
This hotel was under renovations when me and my wife were there for 3 nights. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The problem was there was dried blood on the sheets which we didn’t notice to last night. The chair in the room was ripped and the arms were black with dirt. Plus we were never notified that there was just a grab and go breakfast. I understand they have to do renovations but the customer should have been notified of the breakfast. This experience is making me think of never staying at a comfort inn again
