Horrible rooms- bathroom were not clean. Brown chunks come from the shower/tub. It’s hard to get the rooms clean- even going to the front desk and asking won’t guarantee a clean room. Will not be staying here again.

My husband and I have been married for 13 years and have never taken a trip together without our children. This year we decided to sneak down to isle of palms and reset with just us. Everything was perfect, the hotel is a smaller “boutique style” place and we loved it. Not overcrowded, everything you need is within walking distance. Only 20 minutes or so from downtown Charleston. We ended up extending our stay 1 more night because we enjoyed it so much. Stephanie, the front desk employee was fantastic🙂 she was kind, helpful and went out of her way to accommodate us. (give that girl a raise)! we will definitely be back.
