Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I did not like the online check in. You get a text message with your Room # and the code to enter your room. They changed my Room # but didn't update my code and was unable to get in. Had to call and get a new code and then was even more confused by the two more codes I was sent afterwards. Also, did not appreciate the noise from the giant pool party. Also, the Internet and cable TV services were out, which I received a message about, but that still did not make up for an amenity that was not available. Would not recommend this hotel.

I could not be more impressed with this motel. From the east check in process to the rooms themselves. Comfy bedding, very cute mid century modern design. Clean. Don’t let the area around it scare you off. They do a great job or isolating the motel from it’s surroundings and they have security guard walking the premis at night. Will def stay again!

Best vintage gem in Charleston
Every detail about this place is well thought out and executed. Friendly people, dangerously comfortable beds. My room was so clean!! I had everything I needed right there. You can request a microwave in your room for a low fee ($10) if you decide to bring some snacks or food for breakfast. Pool was beautiful, and the bar was delightful. Short drive to almost everywhere in Charleston (less than 15 minutes to downtown and 17 minutes to Credit One where I was seeing a show) Folly Beach was a 25 drive. This will be my preferred place to stay any time I come back to this city

The room was cute with retro style. The shower was awesome and a comfortable bed. However, the exterior, especially the stairwells, are in desperate need of a revamp and painting. This is a first impression area and not great.

This is an absolute gem in North Charleston. I will return for sure. Retro made new. The property is very safe. The surrounding area isn’t great. But it is <30 from everything and without the parking issues of downtown.
