Yuck!

We decided to take our Frenchi on vacation with us, we booked through hotels and there was no way to pick the “pet friendly option”. We get there to check in and let them know we brought our pet with us and they scrambled to find another room, I’m guessing they have rooms dedicated just for pet owners and then charged us additional fee’s which I would be fine with if the room was not disgusting, smelled horrible like a dog kennel, carpet looked to be about 25 years old same could be said about the dated furniture, toilet kept us up constantly running, overall cleanliness was poor considering the price we paid.

Overall the property was very good. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the lady hosting the breakfast was gracious and pleasant. However, the front desk clerk who checked us in needs some improvement on her interpersonal skills. She was initially snippy, abrupt and condescending. We felt as though we were bothering her even though we were trying to be pleasant and engaging. It got to the point where my patience with her attitude was wearing thin and my demeanor changed. At that point, her tone changed and she became more conciliatory and helpful. Nevertheless, the interaction was less than pleasant.

Not Good

The front desk clerk was not very friendly, very loud, and even took a phone call with BW customer service on speaker during our check in. The room was very dark with all lights on and blinds open. The smell of weed was very strong. There were small flying bugs all over room.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel! The receptionist was exceptionally friendly and made us feel right at home. We traveled with our dog and were thrilled to find a clean, high-quality room—quite a refreshing change from some hotels that provide substandard rooms for pet owners. The room's decor was lovely, and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. The breakfast offered was decent, though it leaned toward the basic side, which is typical for this price range. The only drawback was the traffic; turning left to get to downtown Charleston proved to be quite tricky, forcing us to make a U-turn instead. However, considering the overall quality of our experience, this was a minor hurdle, and we would happily choose to stay here again!

We were on the 2nd floor and had to climb a flight of stairs because there was no elevator. That was difficult due to all four of us being senior citizens and having to carry luggage up the flight of stairs. The hotel is older so if you’re looking for modern this hotel would not suit you. However, it was clean and the beds were very comfortable.
