“Dishonest Owners”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2011
4
people found this review helpful

We actually stayed at this motel during Christmas 2009. We accidentally left some items in one of the dresser drawers, monetary worth about $35. When contacted about these items, the owner said she had them and we should send "cash" of $5 to have her mail them to us. We did this and they pocketed the cash but kept the items. We phoned numerous times regarding the missing items and she claims she never got the $5. We put a return address on the envelope and inside the envelope but never received it back. Dishonest owner kept items AND $5 sent!

“Why are you in our room?”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010
3
people found this review helpful

We have stayed at this hotel for weekend visits for over 20 years. We have also taken family, and recommened this hotel to many of our friends due to its low price and great location. However, due to what happened on our last visit-Sept 17-19, 2010- we will no longer consider staying here. At 8:30 A.M. on Sunday morning a man entered our room,without knocking, or any other type of warning. Needless to say, we were both asleep in bed. What makes this even worse is that during the night my demure nightie had riden up around my waist, and was no longer decently covering my backside. I, of course was was asleep and ignorant of this fact while-YOU GUESSED IT- on my side with my backside to the door. Talk about mortified. My husband told "Jen", the owner at the front desk, and the only response was "oh, sorry" . We were told by the maid that the man in our room was the owner's husband. We remain mystified as to why he would enter our room, as checkout time is 11:00, our car was parked directly in front of our door, [the only car around was ours] and we had not turned in our keys or signed our credit card slip. As an owner, you would think he'd know better. So, even though we put up with crumbling curtains, burnt out bulbs and less than clean walls all for the sake of a good price and great location, this was the deal breaker.

“Great Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010

people found this review helpful

This hotel is practically on the docks of Charleston and you can even hear the sea lions in your room. The hotel is older but really nice and very clean. Bed was great and room was large. It was nice to stay in an older hotel that is very well cared for. You couldn't beat the price and its within walking distance to 2 restaurants.

“You have to be kidding”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2008

people found this review helpful

This establishment is unbelievably run down. While the management seemed friendly and helpful enough with information, the facility is ancient, appointed with thrift store lamps, drapes falling off the rods, and has the odor of old feet. Stains grace both the linens and the walls. Not a value at any price...keep moving!
