I love it here. This is my go to when I need a “staycation”. Staff is incredibly accommodating, the rooms are always clean, and parking is free, which is hard to find in the Charleston area.

What a charming vintage motor lodge. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing! The staff were very friendly and they recommended some great local spots. It’s in a cool and authentic part of town, with more locals and fewer tourists. You’ll find the hotel itself to be safe and the grounds are well-lit. Easy parking. Cold AC. The pool area is well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay, and will definitely stay here again in the future!

Very cool little motor lodge that takes you back to the 60's with better bedding. Very clean room.

Kelly at the reception desk was so nice & very helpful! The ambience of the place took me back to the 50s/60s for sure, in a good way of course. Izzy at the pool bar was fab & attentive. Can’t believe I hadn’t stayed there sooner! The location is just a little ways away from downtown, but otherwise it was cute & perfect for my overnight stay.
