The room was clean enough, but the ac did not work properly. It wasn’t able to be adjusted from our room. The bed was awful. Way too soft to be comfortable and it sank in the middle. Our room adjoined another that had kids in it and was right across from the elevator. I will not recommend this hotel or stay here again.

The front desk clerk on day shift was super helpful and friendly. She recommended restaurants and things to do on the island. Night shift clerk wasn't nearly as friendly. There is very little parking at the hotel and it is tight, not good for big vehicles. Most parking is one street over in the overflow lots. The cleaning staff woke us up well before 8 am talking extremely loud in the hallway repeatedly, not just once. At home we get up early and prefer to be able to sleep in on vacay. It's a great location and you can walk to all the restaurants and shops easily. For the price, we probably will rent a condo next time as the hotel is really old and while clean, is a bit run down.

The partial ocean view from our balcony was great! Property was OK, pool was small but nice. Our room had 2 queen beds, refrigerator and small microwave. Bathroom was adequate, with plenty of towels (a big plus). We stayed 3 nights. One day our room was not cleaned, so we got some clean towels from the pool towel bin. Front desk staff member on arrival was rude & abrupt. (Don’t even think of checking in before 4:00 pm! You will be told in no uncertain terms to come back at 4:00!!!)

The location of the beach was amazing. The fact that the hotel wasn’t too busy was awesome. We did not like the elevator, it was old. Breakfast was ok, grab and go. Staff didn’t go out of their way to help with much for example when wanting to rent beach chairs instead of helping me, they just handed me a pamphlet and couldn’t be bothered. Location of beach and restaurants and cleanliness of rooms was very good. Hotel could use some newer updates but affordable and can’t beat that beach.

We did not have a beach view room as it was just a quick overnight to see friends. Had we been vacationing we would have selected a beach view. Room was clean but bed was rather soft. Felt like you were sinking. Otherwise, it was a decent stay.

Rooms need some TLC they are worn out. I didn't have anyone come to clean my room. First day I had put the sign do not disturb, the second day I did not. Not sure what happened there. Partial beach view was nice. Never had the breakfast but seemed like bagels and pancakes, cereal and fruit. Coffee/tea was nice to have.

The air conditioning worked great. The room was very clean. The bed was a bit squishy where you kinda sink in but still relatively comfortable. I wish we hadn’t cheated out and gotten a room on the outside perimeter of the building. Not having a window to the outside was strange.

Our room wasn’t ready to check in until after 4:00, we got there early. They told us to come back at three and then told us the room still wasn’t ready. I upgraded and paid for a deluxe room, and it was very basic. There was nothing extra about it as indicated in the pictures. The doors were rusty and dirty.

A last-minute change of itinerary brought my daughter and me to the Isle of Palms and to this hotel. The location of the hotel was perfect- right on the beach. It was easy, though somewhat expensive, to get chairs and an umbrella (from a company independent of the hotel), and the beach was clean. The staff was courteous, the room was clean, and it was nice to have breakfast available before setting out for the beach. On the downside, the hotel was more basic than I anticipated and the walls were very thin, so I was kept up late by a conversation in the next room. The area itself is nice, but there was very little to do and a lack of nearby options for something as simple as a snack (thank goodness for the hotel’s vending machines!). Not knowing anything about the area before booking, perhaps this is commonly known, or maybe we missed an area that has “more” going on. With all that said, we did enjoy ourselves. It was also kind of nice that the whole island wasn’t built up with lots of hotels. The walk down the beach was very pretty, so the lots of cool houses to see. Lastly, if you don’t mind a quick drive or a longer walk, Jeff’s Bagel Run has amazing bagels! We also enjoyed coffee from Cafe Paname.

The room was clean, the view from the balcony, located on the side of the bldg, showed the ocean well and I could easily hear the surf, a delight. The mattress was soft and squishy - not good. There was no access to broadcast TV so I couldn't watch any of my programs, including sports. The staff was informative, helpful and polite.
