The room was never swept as there was sand under our feet.. The only sink in the room was clogged. We brought this to the attention of the front desk and it was never resolved.. they offered huge $100 credit which I I had to argue with Expedia to receive!! Never staying here or using Expedia again !!

This place had no heated pool, no beach access, doors that got stuck, parking spaces taken up by construction material, run-down elevator and public areas, a leaky toilet, and chemical smell in the lobby. It would have been just fine for a cheap motel, but not for the kind of price we were paying. However, the room was comfortable, and the location and the view were great.

I would be very mad if I had visited during peak season and found the exterior in the condition it was during this visit. Boardwalk to the beach closed for repairs. But the one you had to use made you question your life chooses. I am not that heavy, and the boards felt like they were going to give way. Other than that, it was a nice stay. Food places are expensive but what is not these days. Parking could be improved as you don't keep building supplies in the few places you have. But the lot a crossed the street worked for me but not for my wife who has mobility issue. Look clean up the exterior and get the building supplies out of the parking spots and it would have been great. The only other thing is the night guy Buring incents it made my nose run really bad I did not want to go in there. At check out the blond woman was very nice and very professional and the place didn't smell of incents. I would of like to try your breakfast, but the smell was not good. I will probably get a condo next time. the location is great and the town very nice so I will be back.

Room was nice and clean, staff at front desk were cold and didn’t seem happy to be there though. They seemed more annoyed that we were checking in than they were happy to greet a guest. Room was clean and well maintained. Distance to restaurants and parking was good and the street its on is festive and cute.

Partial beach view was no view, property needed updated, photos were deceiving. Toilet ran all the time, had to change rooms. music next door was extremely loud into the night. Bare minimum continental breakfast. Minimal parking, had to park 1 block away. Price did not reflect the quality. Would not return.

When we arrived to our room there was what looked to be 2 large urine stains on the bed. This was after a long 5 hour drive and winding down in the room. After speaking with the attendant we were moved to a room with 2 queens that also had mold in the shower. My wife is now sick due to her allergy of mold. I must say the view was somewhat nice.

There was considerable noise from the work being done around pool area and redoing walk for beach sccess. Room was clean and comfortable although there is random noise at night. Hard to figure out the source, if it's mechanical or guests. Our room was near the elevator so we heard it everytime it stopped, then walking and talking from guests. Breakfast was adequate but a couple more tables would be nice as there is room in the area. Some guests put plates on counter tops and stood to eat. Hotel does call it 'grab and go'. Excellent beach access when using walkways beside hotel. Limited on site parking and hotel does have access to municipal parking. Hotel charges a parking fee either way. Isle of Palms is a great beach and must deal with crowds so this hotel is convenient to restaurants and stores and having paid parking is necessary, I suppose. So it's a mix between noise and limited space vs clean room and beach access.
