Re-Bid @ $45 a night by Adding North Charleston-Airport-Coliseum. We go down there pretty regular & have always been happy with the Studios Plus which we normally win on the first bid. I think the first bid probably failed because of the International Spoleto Festival going on which is really big in Charleston. This was a VERY nice suprise! This place really had a COZY Feeling & the STAFF are very friendly & helpful. It is Walking Distance to the Outlets (Across the Street), The Building is Clean & Looks Well Maintained like it had been recently renovated but they said it was 6 years ago. There are Wooden Rocking Chairs in front of Hotel, then you enter a small lobby with a few cozy chairs, if you continue straight you enter a Breakfast Room (YES they give Continental Breakfast 6-9AM and a Mgrs reception Mon-Wed nights) and then you can exit into a small but nice courtyard that was clean & well groomed with tables, lounge chairs, bbq grill, etc... To the left you may enter the Pool area that is indoors but open window like with gate on the courtyard side so probably closed in winter? There is also a small room next to the Pool Room that has a treadmill, excercise bike & stair climber which all appeared new. The rooms are a tad smaller than Studio Plus but adequate for the 4 of us. You walked in the room and the bath was to the right & the kitchen area to the left which had a full sized refrigerator, sink w/ garbage disposal, microwave, two burner stove with small oven. It did not have much in terms of dishes, pots & pans or silverware with a piece of this or that etc.... A Low Breakfast Bar separated the Kitchen area from the Living Area, The Sleeping Area was Across from the Living Area (a simple curtain between the two areas would be nice) I loved that the Kitchen & Bath areas did not have carpet. It was also nice how they designed the hotel there seemed to be an exterior door everywhere so no matter where your room was you could park close to it. There was a security guard that we saw at night patrolling but there was no indication of a need for it. HOPE to WIN this AGAIN :) :) Take Care! Lisa
