Pros

“This pet-friendly choice offers budget-conscious travelers an alternative close to Charleston's attractions. While some may find the accommodations a bit worn, the location and amenities, like the Keurig coffee makers, provide solid value. The pool, potentially needing some attention, is still a draw for families.”
