Environment Location: Location is slightly away from town but manageable with own transportation; located close to downtown Charleston for convenience, though location might not be in the best area; worked for events like Firefly concert

Newly renovated budget friendly little inn. Location is slightly away from town but shouldn’t be a problem if you have own transportation. Cleanliness is well taken care of and check in out of the inn is convenient.

The motel itself was very well kept and clean. Room was very comfortable. The neighborhood was not the best.

This property cannot be trusted Place was hard to navigate around as there is no elevators . And warning we checked out 90 mins after 11 and got charged 40.00 and we tried to find someone to get prior approval and nobody was around and no phone in room . Very bad service . Then they lied and tried to say we left at 2pm and did nothing to compensate our money . This place can’t be trusted

We loved our stay here. I came with 3 friends and we stayed in a bunk room. We had a few issues checking in but were able to call and get assistance right away. The staff on site was very nice and helped us immediately with a problem we had in our room. We stayed right by the pool and were nervous it would be loud at night but it wasn’t at all. A very cool vibe and you can tell the owners really care about the property.
