Last minute overnight

Cute little hotel. Very clean close to food and beach! It’s right by the freeway and on a busy street so it’s kind of loud. But, other then that great place!

Not so good the checkin

Just troubles to get the check in, first they send the code for the room and saying the room is ready so the code never works then when I ask about they just reply : checkin until 4pm even when the room was ready and clean then I come back at 8:30pm and code still doesn’t work so finally they send a new code and it works

2/10 Poor

Dirty and stained towels

This room smelled heavily of Clorox for the first day and the thin gross towels were completely stained. Unbelievable. It was dirty and loud due to highway noise. Don’t stay here.

Problem with parking

I like the hotel, but the problem i had was parking. If the parking spaces are full you will be out of luck. You will have to find parking somewhere else and risk a chance your car might get tow. Also there were molds near the tub. the tv in my room wasn't working properly. You can hear it but no pictures
Lucas, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful rooms, great views. Loved it.
Slater, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed our trip here. It was close to where we wanted to be and the area has great free transportation with the trolleys. So we were able to leave our car parked in the hotel and not have to hassle with finding a parking spot. My only complaint would be that the sink in outside the bathroom was spitting out the water and making a mess. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

This was a great place to stay—my only issue was with the door lock not working properly—but they are upgrading those soon—excellent place otherwise!

4/10 Fair

Great area but the room was are run down. Floors had damage, sink sprayed everywhere. Shower water would spray out. Place is good if you are young and surf. Will not stay again.
Alfredo, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was able to get the room for a very good price so I was nervous that it would be kind of crappy and rundown but it was just the opposite. The room was very clean, spacious, and renovations were recently done which definitely gave it a newer, more modern feel. It was an ocean-facing room, but still quiet at night and really closeby to the SC pier/downtown SC, near lots of shops and restaurants which was very nice! Overall, very cute and cozy place and I liked that there were no overnight fee/incidentals (unless you happen to damage the room). The only thing I didn’t really like was that after 5/6 PM there is no one at the front desk office to help you out with anything.
Madison, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Arrived and door was ajar. Room was dirty and clearly being used. Front office was closed, staff was hard to get a hold of. I ended up leaving. It's unfortunate, because the hotel was conveniently located.
