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....

"This hotel was beautiful! The rooms are slightly dated, and the AC makes a loud noise every so often that was a bit jarring and does need to be fixed, but the beds were phenomenal and so comfy, hotel itself is beautiful, and the location can’t be beat in terms of convenience and walkability.
