Good location.
It is an old hotel which feels tired. The best thing was the close proximity to Charleston.

Was under the impression that room had balcony with a view and then when we get in the room you cannot open the balcony door to go on it. Hotel needs a lot of updates in my opinion for what I paid to stay and I could have went to a newer hotel for same price.

One of the worst Holiday Inns
Hole in ceiling; door to room would not open without kicking it; sink backed up so much that we had to brush our teeth elsewhere; everywhere smelled musky; and Keurig in room had built up calcium all over it.

Great location since its a short distance to downtown, but is really due for a renovation. Room was pretty basic and clean and did the trick for a weekend trip. Front desk lady was a bit rude.
