Hotel Indigo Mount Pleasant by IHG
Great hotel just outside of Charleston with many amenities in the area. Clean lobby, clean rooms, and accommodating staff. Bed was a little uncomfortable that was the only downside.

The only good thing about the place was the cleaning service. Check in was terrible and frustrating. Location was awful the hotel behind it is abonden. The area it’s in is so sketchy you cannot walk to any bars. The breakfast yuck. So disappointing
