Reading all these reviews made me sort of…. worried about this place but honestly we didn’t experience any of them! Our stay was very pleasent, it was quite, we could take a good rest. The room was clean, wouldn’t say spotless but was perfect for 2 nights. Neighbours were respectful, we haven’t seen any “sketchy” people either. I personally recommend this place! :-)

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    The facility was very convenient to wonderful restaurants, and we were able to park our car at the marina and take the water taxi to and from the City of Charleston. The breakfast offered much more than most motels/hotels offer. We will return again in September when we visit Charleston for a cruise.

    I only stayed for one night and spent very little time here, but it served my purposes well enough. The breakfast was motel-buffet quality, nothing special but did the job just fine. The location was off the highway outside of Charleston, which made it easy to get to, but difficult to get anywhere else unless you were driving, which only became a problem once I realised how frustrating parking in Charleston is when a section of streets are closed for an event. Not the fault of the Inn, of course, just my poor planning and bad time management!

    We travel a lot and this is absolutely the best place we’ve ever stayed. The employees were so nice and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. I rate this motel a 10/10 and if I’m ever back that way I’ll definitely be staying there. Thank you to ALL the staff we had the pleasure of meeting

    Honestly, everything was incredible. I was a little hesitant that an old motel could actually be great, but this was phenomenal. The internet was incredibly fast as well (as a photographer, I am VERY shocked by the speed), the TV was easy to understand, and the room was so cute. I definitely recommend, and plan to stay here for every other trip I have in Charleston.

    Great breakfast. Great location in a wonderful city. A block from King Street, the lovely shopping street, and a short walk to neighborhoods. The staff were lovely and friendly and went the extra miles for us ( after two weeks on the road, we’d gone through our clean clothes and they did a wash for us). Free parking on site. Great wifi, comfortable beds.

    it is centrally located and the bed is extremely comfortable. I was in town for a wedding, so I needed a motel with outside doors so I wouldn’t have to tote the flowers throughout the whole motel.

    Friendly staff let me check in a bit early. Large, clean room with fridge, TV etc. Plenty of free parking on site. Good, free breakfast. Some shops and restaurants short drive away. About 20 minutes' drive to downtown.
