Easy Hotel to Stay At
Renovated 60s themed hotel just north of Charleston. Automated check-in and check-out process that was seamless. I would absolutely stay here again.
Albert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly Recommend!
I absolutely loved this little place. Loved the retro vibe. Everything is new, very comfy and clean. Super easy to book, check in and gain access to the room and staff friendly. The Burgundy Lounge was fun and convenient. I will definitely be staying again next time I am in the area!

Locals love the place
I actually stayed at this location. Many years ago, around the time of hurricane hugo, It was a no to tell motel at that point. The new owners have done a marvelous job of totally revamping and remodeling the room was industrial chic.. I loved everything about it the retro refrigerator..charging points and all contactless

I Love This Hotel!
Our stay at this hotel was great! We loved it!
Jon-maria, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

If only it was as nice as Instagram portrayed!
Whoever handles your Instagram definitely needs a raise. The motel was nothing like the photos. It’s disgusting and in a very, very rough part of town. The room was disgusting. We stayed for exactly 3 minutes and left. Staff was condescending and rude.
Shannon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic stay!
The room was very clean and comfortable, and hotel staff were respectful, regularly texting me with updates and offers. Definitely plan on staying here again!

10/10 Exceptional

For a motel, this place is really nice and meticulously maintained. Love the midcentury feel and cleanliness of this place.
Dave, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

So cool
Love this place! It’s easy and comfortable and they have a cool bar/lounge (Burgundy Lounge). No restaurant on site, but there are places nearby to drive to (King BBQ and Rebel Tequila, and Kitchen Junction, to name a few!). Area looks a bit dodgy but it’s not- it’s just not ruined like the rest of CHS. Enjoy your stay x

We loved our stay here. The rooms are well appointed with great finishes and high quality fixtures and amenities. The keyless and contactless checkin was super smooth as well.

Super cute.
The new decor is darling and super clean. The exterior and steps could use a good power wash. The beds were clean and comfy. The area scared us at first but it was fine.

This property is in a sketchy neighborhood but dont let that deter you! It's in a very convenient location and easy drive into town (King Street). Quiet and the sweet little Security guide walks the property!
