There is not a lot not to like about the location of this hotel. It places you within easy reach of many of the area's attractions - some are within walking distance and others just a short drive from the property. The free evening shuttle helps you to discover some of the nearby nightlife.
Reviews suggest that this hotel is starting to look a little shabby and over-used in places. This probably won't affect your stay too much, but you may feel disappointed if you prefer a hotel to look fresh and new.
Charleston is a fairly humid city and, unfortunately, the hotel's in-room air-conditioning does always seem to be up to the job of counteracting the damp surroundings. Some guests report that their clothes felt damp, while others simply say they were too hot.
Unlike the Holiday Inn Express properties, Holiday Inn hotels do not offer a free breakfast. This confused and disappointed some guests. It doesn't help that the cost of breakfast is fairly high.
