Shower horrible-no water pressure-had to change rooms.
Disrupted our plans and very inconvenient.
Should be compensated. Staff very understanding. Ran out of tissues and almost toilet paper.
Poor location to get into downtown.

Stayed only one night for an appointment at MUSC for my mom. Computer/power issues completely wiped out television and there was no way to make a room key. Had to request toilet paper however the room was clean and the staff was friendly. Limited parking unless you use the garage next door/3rd floor. Doubt we would stay again due to parking.

Visited Charleston for the first time and stayed 3 nights at Holiday Inn Express Downtown. The room was very nice with small refrigerator, microwave and Kureg coffee maker. Really nice breakfast served every morning and fresh brewed coffee anytime. The staff was very accommodating. Location is close enough to downtown area that you could walk to it. There is a Puplix right next door. We chose to catch the free bus called DASH, which we caught right next to the Publix. The buses picked up about every 45 minutes. Would definitely stay again for the price we paid for being close to downtown Charleston.

It really not a walkable location to downtown. Everything is a lift or burner ride!
Staff was super but the conditions here are not too great.
Back up at front desk
Rooms not ready for check in at 4.00
Housekeepers can’t speak or understand English
The employees do go out of their way to help

We arrived at midnight (January 9-10). The front desk was most helpful. Throughout our short stay, I have to stay every staff member we encountered was so pleasant and helpful. The breakfast variety was a nice touch as well. This is surely a hotel I would return to for a quick get away!
