 Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston DWTN - Medical CTR by IHG

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston DWTN - Medical CTR by IHG

8/10 Good
"We like the location with free parking. It’s an easy short drive to all of our sights of interest. Love the free hot breakfast with decent options. They were short with room keys, so we only have one key with 4 of us in the room. Not a big deal. We managed. The only complaint is the TV didn’t work. When we checked with front desk, we were told they’re having problems with the wires or something. But the lobby TV works so not sure if it’s just our room or affecting other rooms. Front desk did send someone to look at it. The maintenance guy didn’t make it work but said he’ll tell front desk to move us to a room where the TV does work. Nothing happened there, but we weren’t pushing it either."

10/10 Excellent
"We loved this hotel, it has a serene quality. Perfectly situated just off King Street, close to historic Rainbow Row, on a corner by a dynamic fountain and a pier, close to restaurants, bars, galleries and shops, it was a quiet, calm and cool retreat from the bustle and heat of Charleston. Our room was spacious and well appointed, the staff; friendly and very helpful. Breakfast on the roof terrace- great views- or where you choose to take it, was pre-ordered and delicious. We loved the little touches the hotel provided: on tap tea & coffee, water stations with various natural flavours ie lemon, mint etc, a late afternoon glass of wine, cheese and nibbles laid out in reception and fresh baked cookies later on in the evening.Most appreciated. Valet parking, which was reasonable in the context of other downtown alternatives, allowed us to dump the car for a couple of days and explore this highly interesting city on foot. A very enjoyable stay which I would happily repeat at the Harbour View Inn."
