Adequate

As HIE hotels go, this one was just adequate. Nothing special. The biggest annoyance was the lack of water pressure in the shower. We were both so glad have a good shower when we got home. Hard to fix this issue, but there is only one elevator, and it is very small. I can imagine at peak usage, you may have to wait a while to use the elevator. There wasn't very much diversity for the breakfast menu and we tired of it after 4 days. The hotel is alongside a busy highway, but the noise never infiltrated our room. There is a red light at the entrance to the hotel, so no issues coming or going during the busiest traffic. There are a number of good restaurants within 5 mins of the hotel. It takes about 15-20 mins to reach downtown, if that is your goal. This hotel was at least 1/2 the cost or more of downtown hotels. We prefer to be away from the crowds anyway, so this was a good location for us. All of the staff were very friendly and seemed glad to have visitors and were proud to call Charleston home. We enjoyed our stay overall.
