“In my opinion, this hotel, situated in the Historic District, could be ideal for families drawn by the University of South Carolina and nearby attractions. I appreciate the thoughtful extras like complimentary breakfast bags and pet-friendly accommodations, but prospective guests should be aware of reports mentioning construction and security issues.”
