Great location, Close to all the east bay street restaurants and city market. Interesting art work throughout the hotel. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. Would definitely stay there again."

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."

8/10 Good

"For the past 2 years one of the two elevators (if not both) were consistently down. Great location but anticipate the issue and get lower floor d/t carrying luggage on steps."

Emeline

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasant and welcoming hotel. Helpful and courteous staff. The coffee and fruit and water on each floor quite a treat and perk."
