Days Inn by Wyndham Charleston Historic District

2.0 star property
6.2 out of 10, (1004)
"The TV in our room never worked properly. I told the front desk the first day and asked again. No one ever came to check the TV. It was out of focus. Also, the site advertised free breakfast and a pool; there was no breakfast at all… not even coffee in lobby and the pool was drained. The staff did not offer alternatives to breakfast even though there was a place attached to one part of the hotel. I thought it was closed. My room was clean but the stairs and outside was not swept and sloppy....

"We choose this because of the location close to downtown. The room was clean, the bed and pillows super comfortable. It was within walking distance of a lot of restaurants and venues. The tub/shower/toilet area was super tiny and there was no way to turn off the fan so it ran 24/7. A bit annoying at night."

"Fantastic location with all the hotspots within walking distance. Loved the poolside patio...both for morning coffee and evening relaxing. Parking garage attached to the hotel as an alternative to the $60 valet was perfect since we didn't need our car (no in/out access). $10/food credit per day was usable at both the bar and cafe was nice, too.
