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....

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for exploring Charleston, with many attractions within walking distance. We requested a quiet room and stayed on the 6th floor, not facing the road, and away from the elevator. Curiously though, there was a constant 50 db mechanical hum, occasionally accompanied by a high pitched whine, throughout our stay. Also, a surprising number of dogs were staying at the hotel, so keep that in mind when you book. "
