Location within West of the Ashley places visitors near diverse dining, and the free shuttle to downtown is a smart perk. While some past guests mention dated decor, I find that the family-friendly environment and dedicated event spaces are key advantages.”

Guest ParkingParking Solution

The hotel found parking away from the river. This was helpful since the parking lot tends to flood.
