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

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

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel with clean nicely appointed rooms. The location is very convenient to medical center area. On premise parking is basically nonexistent but they do provide parking at a nearby parking garage. Front desk staff needs a remedial course in customer service. Not sure I’ve ever encountered someone so unfriendly and unwelcoming. This will certainly be a factor when considering lodging for future trips to the area."

"Very well appointed, clean, well staffed historical property right in the heart of the historic district. Extremely close to worthwhile horse drawn carriage rides and shopping galore at the famed city market and small street side shops. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, plentiful and fresh! The staff were so friendly for breakfast and afternoon cheeses & wine, also complimentary! Valet service went beyond plus the bicycle taxis were also readily available and reasonable."
