Residence Inn Charleston North/Ashley Phosphate

The Residence Inn is average or slightly below. I was told I would have a semi-private room with a sofa bed. In reality, the sofa was in a living room area right next to the kitchen, and the connecting door took up a lot of space. There was little to no privacy. I had to fold down and remake the sofa every night, and cut and bruised my legs because the frame was pure metal. Then again, I guess that's par for the course with most sofa beds, but I kind of felt like I was camping in a trailer. The housekeeping leaves something to be desired. Housekeepers don't come every day. When you call and ask, they may never show up. Housekeeping finally showed up on my second day. The lovely young girl they sent spoke no English. We had to communicate through Google Translate, and she refused to come in the door. She was also apparently told she could only change the trash in our room (???) Do housekeeping heads usually tell their staff things like that? The thermostat was iffy; I either froze or burned. The carpet is obviously worn and visibly dirty. Do not walk on bare feet. Overall, you'll get a bed and a bathtub, but that's about it.

Nice stay Most things were great...nice room, good breakfast my only complaint was that some appliances during breakfast were broken (juice machine) and the water for tea was always lukewarm at best (had to microwave). These are just minor details, overall 4.5 stars out of 5. I would stay again.

Like Residence Inns We like Residence Inn rooms with equipped mini kitchens and space to relax. Building and rooms as a while were nice, but the elevators showed considerably wear. The breakfast was very sub-par to the point that we skipped it after the first morning. This was a surprise because usually Residence Inn breakfasts are very good (for being a hotel breakfast). We left the room around 10 each morning but never received room service. Not a biggie, was easy to get fresh towels at the desk, but it would have been nice to have the room freshened up during the week.

Nice Very nice stay. There was a dirty towel over bathroom door on arrival. No daily cleaning service, which was okay but needed new towels. The rest of stay was great

Quiet at all hours. Clean and comfortable. Good value for the $. Liability in the bathtub - very slippery. Someone will fall. Need a bathmat or something to create a rough surface.

The front desk clerk was so compassionate and helpful.
