We loved our stay! The room was clean and comfortable, updated and so cute. The property was fun and unexpected for the area it’s in. We will definitely stay again!

The hotel is located in a bit of a sketchy area of North Charleston. However, the hotel felt very, very safe. We had an issue with our “neighbors” partying right outside our room, twice, and security was on it immediately! The lounge is funky, in a good way.

Sketchy neighborhood but very clean and comfortable room. Exterior could use a cleaning, but overall great for the money. Love the automated check in
1-night trip

10/10

Enjoyed the stay. Was a bit weary of the area upon arrival, but the immediate area on premises felt secure. The rooms are small like any other motel but comfy and clean. My family stayed in one of the cottages which were SUPER cute! A lot of cute characteristics throughout in the reception area, the pool house and lounge. I can tell whomever owns or oversees the property takes pride in it.

This place is a gem! Self check-in worked great, and questions we had were answered quickly. Everything was clean and working properly when we arrived. After a long eventful day we were so happy to have such comfortable beds too. We’ll definitely stay here again if we come back to Charleston!

$200 deposit required as I tried to check in to my two rooms. Very bad timing…

Loved the decor. Super friendly. Security all night made me feel safe. The #10 bus cost a buck to get us right to the visitor center in historic Charleston. Also it is not too far from Magnolia Plantation, the train station and the airport. Additionally there is a good comedy club and a restaurant about a 3 minute walk away.

Wasn't sure at first by the lication and style. But as soon as i entered the lobby/front desk area i was pleasantly surprised to find an amazing retro style hotel and really cool photo books. Everything was retro modified. Up to date, but with an older style

Amazing gem of a hotel in Charleston. It seriously does not get better for the price! Rooms were beautifully updated and comfortable. We were four adults in a double queen room, and there was plenty of space for all of us. Would certainly stay here again. Staff were friendly, pool was wonderful, and the vibes were great. It is in a more residential area of Charleston, about a 10/15-minute drive from all the things to do downtown. We ubered some and drove some, with no issues.

Renovated 60s themed hotel just north of Charleston. Automated check-in and check-out process that was seamless. I would absolutely stay here again.

Loved my stay here! It’s an adorable inn that’s affordable! The cocktail lounge was fun too. Never change; you’ve got a great thing going on! I’ll definitely be back.

This is such a unique little gem that’s WELL worth the stay plus the cocktail lounge is a major plus. We went on a Saturday night for live Jazz. It was incredible.

This was a super cute, fully renovated motel. The room and bathroom were immaculately clean, there is a really fun lounge on-site, and it was close to the Coliseum where we were seeing a show. It's also very close to the lively parts of North Charleston so getting around was very easy. We will definitely stay there again!

Overall, it was a wonderful stay! The room was as pictured, the beds were SO comfortable, and overall very clean. However, there's not too much to do around the immediate vicinity, but there's restaurants and outlets approximately 10 minutes away. My only complaint was some of the towels had some stains :(. This is the only reason I didn’t give the location 5 stars.

Very clean, easy check in and check out. No problems. It is on a major road with some traffic noise and occasional siren noise so bring a white noise machine. Although it seemed to die down after 11 pm. Cool 60s vibe.

Retro on the outside, modern, clean and well kept on the inside. Nicer than any Hilton I've been in, at a far more affordable price. Highly recommended.

Loved the vintage charm! The bunk beds were such a fun experience for our girls trip and it was nice we each got our own bed.

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!
