StudioPlus North Charleston, North Charleston

We arrived planning to spend many weeks for business. At first glance we knew we had made a mistake, The front desk girl met us in a shirt that looked like she slept in it. The office was dirty and worn. When she showed us our room - it was smaller than the picture showed. It was filthy - dirty tubs, walls, fridge, hair and dust and the baseboards were dirty too as were the walls --I tried to clean some up and got so disgusted we told them we needed to leave. She showed us a bigger room then and it was just as bad. The manager offered to bring someone in the next day to clean - we said no and said we were going elsewhere. They charged us a full price for one night after only being there an hour! The smell from the laundry room stuck us most - AWFUL!!

This is an extended stay hotel and the hotel description clearly states there is room service once weekly unless requested otherwise. This hotel is walking distance to many restaurants, an ice skating rink, and mall. The kitchenette was just the right size for us and made our stay more enjoyable as we could cook and not have to eat out all the time. The drive to downtown Charleston or the Charleston beaches is about 15 minutes, which was worth it to me as the cost of this hotel versus ones closer to tourist attractions was less than half but with double the amenities. I have seen some negative feedback regarding the hallways smelling of cigarette smoke. It does, but, if you have a chain smoker puffing away non-stop in a few rooms, it's going to happen. Be realistic. What can management do about smokers who don't open windows and smoke like freight trains where there is no ventilation? I also saw another review about, "I found hair." I've found a stray hair in every hotel I've stayed in across the US. But, one note to management for a needs improvement...check the bottom of the toilets and the bottom of the bathtub. That part was obvious to me that housekeeping blew this off as an "out of eyesight" cleaning area. Unfortunately, this is one of the least sanitary areas that people have a tendency not to notice. It would be worthwhile for management to inspect the hidden areas during slow periods to see what is being missed. Other than that, we truly loved our room and enjoyed the area tremendously. Give it a try.

it was the perfect place for a relaxed and quiet stay.
