Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston Dwtn - Westedge by IHG
Picked this hotel because it advertised an outdoor pool. Pool was closed the entire 3 days we were there. Property was very dated and needed a facelift. Disappointed.

Cambria Hotel Mount Pleasant – Charleston
Clean hotel and comfortable rooms. There is no restaurant on the property. No breakfast or hot meals available. However, you can buy snacks and drinks. We would have liked to have shower caps in the bathroom.
