Comfort Suites at Isle of Palms Connector

Tired hotel rooms. Smells of mold, mold and dog piss. Pillows are horrible. Decent breakfast.

Hotels in Charleston are insanely expensive, so we stayed at this one across the harbor in Mount Pleasant, but for two nights, Thursday and Friday, it was still outrageous, averaging $240 per night. This is a typical hotel with nothing special to offer, including the same breakfast at any other hotel that's less than half the price. Traffic getting to and across the bridge into Charleston is unpredictable and can backup for multiple reasons, so plan your time accordingly, because delays can be long. The hotel is hard to find, in the back of a very crowded strip mall with an easy-to-miss entrance into the mall parking lot. Our room overlooked the pool, but luckily the noise from kids playing didn't last into the evening. The hotel itself was fine, with friendly staff and a clean room.

This hotel is in desperate need of a makeover. There isn't one piece of furniture that isn't stained or worn out. The hotel smells musty and the rooms are worse. The staff was friendly enough but that doesn't make up for the condition of pretty much everything. Even the parking lot was dirty.
