Very typical small town economy lodging

This motel is one of only two in Charleston and is very typical of small town economy lodging. Very adequate for short stays. The good… The room was huge, definitely big enough for two king beds (we had one king bed). The mini-fridge and microwave worked well and the single serve coffee pot was adequate. The sink was outside the bathroom with a separate vanity. There was also a full length mirror (although strangely placed directly across from the bed). There was a desk for working and two chairs. The noise insulation seems to be quite good as we were next to the breakfast room and ice machine and didnt hear anything. The staff is helpful and nice. The location allows easy access to the highway and to most businesses in town, via walking or driving. The bad/strange… While the hotel is NOW non-smoking, it is old enough that the room definitely smelled of stale smoke, likely due to the old carpeting. The bed is a platform bed and the platform is made of a thin metal box, which causes odd noises when sitting down on, standing up from, or moving about on the bed (really weird). The bathroom is beyond small, so small that the door cannot be closed while sitting on the (extremely low) toilet. Not sure why the room was enormous and the bathroom this small. The breakfast buffet is very carb/sugar heavy—yogurt with sugar, 4 sugared cereals, toast of various types, waffles, juice, and coffee. It was fine but if you want protein, go out.

Do they have hot water?

The Temperature on the water didn’t get very hot right away. It was like as the water ran longer that’s when it got hotter which was kind of odd. It could’ve been too that the room wasn’t occupied a lot so the water wasn’t being used a lot.
