The Sleep Inn Charleston consistently receives negative feedback, citing cleanliness issues, dated facilities, and poor service. Recurring concerns include pervasive mold and unpleasant odors, combined with a lack of responsiveness from hotel management regarding reported problems and refund requests. While some guests appreciate the location and bed comfort, the overall experience is marred by significant maintenance needs and inconsistent quality.
While the location was not bad, everything else was terrible. We were fine with many staff we had a HUGE language barrier, we made it work but the rest of the staff was not nice. Specifically a man with shoulder length dirty blonde hair wearing a huge cross on his chest that was THE WORST. He SCREAMED at me while I was mid-conversation with another employee asking if it would be okay to take 2 plain bagels because my fiance and I were leaving for the airport before breakfast opened. The woman continued to stare at me so weird while I asked her about the bagels, as she was trying her hardest to explain the time the guy with the cross on his chest took it upon himself to SCREAM at me ACROSS the lobby at 6:20am telling me “YOU CANT TAKE FOOD. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ? THE SIGN SAYS 6:30” I went up to the desk with a brave face, I was only asking IF it was possible to have 2 bagels, I was only asking. He proceeded to say with such a nasty attitude “well maybe if you would have asked ME I MIGHT have accommodated you.” I then replied “I do apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused by simply asking a question. You behavior is very uncalled for and has made me uncomfortable” he replies “all well, learn to read.” I went back up to our room shaking and crying on the verge of a panic attack. My fiancé had to calm me down as we finished the last bit of packing up. The entire hotel was filthy. The main floor hallway had an INTENSE dog pee smell, possibly some human too. Just very strong. Mold everywhere. Parking was terrible. No lighting back there, unsafe. No smoking spots with ashtrays that were functional. Ceiling tiles about to fall or already missing entirely, EXPOSING MORE MOLD. Never again. Never ever again. Worst experience I’ve ever had and I have traveled to every single state on the east coast. I have NEVER been treated so poorly, never been in a more DISGUSTING “hotel”. Save your money, save yourself in general. You can find somewhere to stay that isn’t a health hazard.
Okay, I know it's September but it's still hot here in SC in September, so why close the pool for the season??? You can tell that wear and tear and even more is occurring in the hallways, bedrooms and bathroom. We had something dangling from our shower that really grossed me out so didn't use it. The lady at the front desk made you feel like you were bothering her but she did put us in a different room since the AC wasn't working in the first one. Their neighbor, Best Western is way better.
Was very disappointed with my stay. Specificically asked for pool and breakfast. No pool at this hotel at all!( clerk said we shared pool with hotel next door)but, was told the pool next door was being repaired. I checked out the pool and it was onivious pool had not been open for a LONG time. I was told no one there to clean and only saw cleaning person rarely in the morning. Only ice machine working was two floors from my room. Muffin I got from the morning hot breakfast was covered with "mold". The photo shown on hotel site does not represent the breakfast. Back door lock appeared to be broken. We found a bug in room and bought in spray to use while we were there. Hot breakfast was the worst I have ever gotten at a Choice hotel. It was obivious the hotel did not have adequate personnel to keep facility clean. My only good evaluation would be for the persons at the front desk. I found them to be very pleasant even though when I ask for soap I was told they had very little and were not suppose to give out 2. The a.m. breakfast was very sparce and after the molded muffin I ate out for the rest of my stay. Horrior hotel stay for me!!!
This was not a very good experience! The pool was closed on the hottest weekend of the summer. The AC was out in the breakfast area and was not enjoyable. The breakfast itself was less than ok. No housekeeping service, so no clean towels or sheets or trash pickup. What little staff that was there was not of the friendly variety. Room had a slight odor. Not a good weekend at all….disappointing to say the least!
Not a great experience. I have no issue staying in an older or outdated hotel, but I do have a problem with cleanliness and paying for amenities that are not available. The room had a strong musty odor upon arrival. I observed mold on the ceiling, bugs in the shower and bed, dust buildup on surfaces and corners, and stains on the walls and flooring. Several amenities were unavailable during my stay, and I was informed the house keeping was short-staffed. Days later and the manager Gerald still won’t return my calls… I can get a copy and paste response to my review but can’t get a call back?? Terrible customer service too.
Easy location to get too, front desk staff are incredibly nice. I will definitely stay here again. Only reason for 4 stars not 5 is the rooms are a bit older with cheap furniture. That being said they definitely are clean and well put together. No complaints, just room for slight improvement!
My review is from someone who didn’t stay there as the front desk person was so off putting and negative I left and found another hotel. It was as if she didn’t want me to stay there and made it adversarial to book a room for the night. I’m not really sure why there was an instant negative attitude when I walked in. I’m easy going and have never had such an experience. So much for souther hospitality at this hotel!
If you're looking for a hotel to stay, I'd highly advise you not to stay here. We booked from 04/17/2026 - 04/20/2026 and were on the third floor when we walked into our room and it was filthy, filled with a moist moldy smell, there were spiders crawling on the pillows in the far corner of the bed that end3d up not getting slept on that we discoverd later that first night. Under all the covers, the beds themselves had orange stains, our lamp was infested with some sort of mold or fungus, the fan blades were bent down due to all the moisture, and the wooden entertainment center had looked like something was eating at it. After waking up we both felt Nauseous and the air felt very thick. I also went to get some breakfast and the sausage was hard, and everything tasted off and left a bad aftertaste. We saw 2 rooms getting cleaned on the same floor, opposite side so we peaked into one and there were no smells, everything was clean and it was vibrant. We went down to the front desk to request a room change and they said they were completely full, yet when I bought up the 2 units we had seen they said they weren't aware of them and instinctively said they weren't available since they needed to get "checked" and brought to their attention. We were told to come back later and ask. (Why would they not contact me if they have my phone number AND email?) That was early in the morning on the 18th. Later that day around 5pm after we got back from venturing we had went down and asked, but this time there was a Lady with a bit of an attitude. We had told her what the other representative had told us and she said that she saw nothing available on the 3rd floor for the units we were talking about. Instead she told us only one unit on the first floor same column and when we had walked in it it stenched worse, much darker, and just as dirty. We decided to leave and make our trip back home, cancling the booking and now waiting for my refund. My thing is, sure... it's and older hotel and it's gonna have its flaws. But It can still be old AND clean. And the fact they didn't want to give us the clearly open and ready clean room, with even a better air-conditioner that was sealed, is wild to me. It was very disappointing to have to drive all the way out there, cut the trip down an entire 2 nights and just to leave 1 day after getting there and driving all the way back because of the hotel sitting at horribly low standards. All in all, never staying at a Sleep Inn again
Positives… Great location, and comfortable beds Negatives… An older hotel that needs to update its rooms with paint and newer fixtures. Lots of dings in the walls and doors. Sheets had fabric pills. Housekeeping did not visit us which was a huge disappointment due to us needing clean towels, and our trash was overflowing. Three out of four staff members we encountered were not friendly at all.
Stayed here one night on way to Savannah. There were cosmetic issues (e.g., holes in walls in common areas) but room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was better than expected. Exterior door to/from entrance was ill-fitting and difficult to open ... you'd think owners would make fixing it a priority since it's a challenge for all guests.
