Easy access. Park right up to the door. Clean. Comfortable bed. I made the mistake of booking a smoking room. The owner switched me to a non-smoking room at no extra charge.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There is good and there is bad. We only needed a place to sleep. We are not picky. We called in advance to make sure we could check in very late. No problem. I feel bad. Because we had to ring doorbell and wake guy up. However, he was fine. 3 issues. The office says check out is 11am. Expedia says check outvisv11am. He says check out before 10 am! The room had a marker on the door changing check out from 11 to 10am. Our whole purpose was sleeping in. The place appears clean, but so many allergins in bed we are so stuffy can't sleep. There was a man outside our room singing loudley between 1am and 3am probably on something. Very convenient to interstate 79. I also found it odd when we walked in and I thought i was turning on the light, i cut the power to the whole room. The breaker is right above the light switch. This being said, I've stayed in a chain hotel in Charleston before which wss extremely scary. So still might not be thecworst choice in this city.

Outstanding

I am guessing (and hoping) people will look at this older hotel and move on- good, because I want to keep this OUTSTANDING secret to myself and those who have stayed here. 1) Very Clean. 2) Beds are Great 3) View of the River 4) Excellent Internet 5) Too Many TV Channels ;-) 6) Great water pressure in the shower. The family running it is great and again, everything you need in a hotel- minus a fancy looking building.

Had a nice big room with 3 beds. Nothing fancy but adequate place to lay our heads after a long day of traveling. Definitely needs updating, but it was clean.

We booked last minute and I was surprised first of all that they had one room for the six of us. It was big and comfortable. The front desk clerk was super nice. Rooms were clean The price was great. If we ever travel this way again I would definitely make this a pit. Stop for an overnight while driving. We may return on our trip back from South Carolina.
