Charleston Creekside Inn
Creekside was sufficient but we wouldn’t stay there again. Staff was friendly but the inn was very dirty and run down. Felt like it was a good location and had things around, but overall not the safest or cleanest.

Great hotel!!! Would stay over and over again. The rooms are modern, spacious and uniquely laid out. The staff was always friendly and quick to say hello. The bar is a nice touch and staff was very nice there as well. The drinks were stiff too. The pool area is clean and well kept. The beds are comfy ...
