Mala experiencia
Pros:

La primera linia de la playa

Cons:

La habitación muy pequeña, con la ventana al pasillo (que no puedes ni abrir para ver el sol) con el aire acondicionado al lado de la cama (un ruido terrible), el desayuno, el peor que he tenido en toda mi experiencia (2 cosas) nada saludable((
Y para terminar.. una hora para encontrar el aparcamiento (en el mes de abril) todo ocupado, no quiero ni pensar como esta en el verano..

Isle of Palms and Palms Oceanfront motel were both wonderful. Would go back!
Pros:

The room was very clean and all staff were very helpful. Housekeeping was extremely helpful and accommodating. The location of our room could not have been better. We had a great view of the ocean from our balcony. The motel was in a perfect central location and close to so many things.

Cons:

The only complaint would be no handicap parking under motel and we had to leave 2 days early due to serve illness and we’re still charged for both days. I understood the first day but did not agree with charge for second day. I would stay there again though in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed the get away and would recommend to others.
Pros:

The room was clean, the cleaning crew did an excellent job and all the interacted with were very nice. The access to the beach was very nice, the parking was very limited on site but the overflow helped not make it a chore. The breakfast was ok, but for a continental style what would one actually expect. I have had much less food options at other places I have stayed.

Cons:

The traffic Friday night and Saturday trying to cross the bridge to get on and off the island was horrible. The food was basically the same no matter where you choose to eat with minor differences from one to another. If you love seafood, then no worries, lots of variables and all were good. The refuge seemed to be the one location we loved the food dishes regardless of breakfast or dinner.

Pros:

I liked the beach being right behind the building and some room face the water. Our room was an interior room with no windows and close to the elevator and facility office which was very noisy. The room was spacious and clean except no place to set suitcase so you can open and get clothes except on the bed. If we stay here again I will definitely ask for exterior room.

Cons:

I didn't like my room location due to it being noisy and had no windows to outside. The only window faced the walkway where all guests go to their rooms. The window did not have view of outside at all felt closed in.
