Categories

Cleanliness
7.2
Mixed signals: several guests called the property 'very clean' while at least one detailed serious hygiene issues (stains, mold, dirty walls, hair). Overall cleanliness is below the target due to those strong negative reports.
Service
10
Consistently praised staff: multiple mentions of personable, helpful front-desk and guest ambassador (Matt, Eric, Megan). Service sentiment is very strong and raised to offset negative areas.
Location
9.6
Location repeatedly described as 'perfect', 'close to MUSC' and convenient; some notes about difficult traffic/rush-hour egress but overall location is a strong positive.
Room Quality
8
Mixed room reports: comfortable beds and quiet rooms noted, but also several accounts of worn or damaged items (broken lamp/sink leg, door off track, questionable bedding/mattress). Overall slightly below top tier.
Amenities
8
Breakfast is frequently praised (variety, delicious), but guests complained about paid parking, a parking app, slow elevators and occasional bugs — amenities are generally good but with friction points.
Value for Money
6.6
Recurring negative theme about having to pay extra for parking and surprise parking fees; several guests felt price did not match perceived quality, lowering value perception.
Food and Beverage
9.8
Breakfast repeatedly described as 'delicious', 'delightful' and 'great variety'; food & beverage feedback is a clear strength.
Overall Experience
9.6
Overall guest experience trends positive (friendly staff, good breakfast, great location, quiet), though some severe cleanliness and parking/value issues temper impressions; net experience is above target.

Good property not far from Charleston
Pros:

Overall, a good Hampton Inn. The guest ambassador, Matt, was very helpful and friendly as were the receptionists when we checked in and out The property is up to Hampton Inn standards, and the breakfast was too.

Cons:

There is a parking app, and the motel asks for a parking fee. Since the motel is inexpensive, it is not a major concern, but I was a bit surprised as Hampton Inn is the first motel to ask for a separate parking fee. The point of a motel as opposed to a hotel is the "motor" aspect is made more convenient. Hampton Inn's adoption of a parking app is a major departure from the days of US Route 66. Also, there is an app available to tip the cleaning and other staff. I tried to use it, but it insisted on knowing my email address even though identifying information had already been provided to the motel. I have no interest in additional junk email, and I'm sure had I entered my email, that would have been the result.

Nice but I would not stay again.
Pros:

Facility was clean and staff was helpful.

Cons:

Paying extra for parking at the facility in addition to the room charge is a total ripoff. How do you expect people with a car to stay unless they park.

Not Kid Friendly - Not Clean
Pros:

I expected more from a 4.5-star rated hotel.

Place is nasty. Walls need to be wiped down once in a while. There’s hardened boogers on the side of the beds and ever single wall has dirty handprints or yellowed water marks from the steam/humidity.

There was more than one wall plate that wasn’t settled properly and poses a safety risk to toddlers who don’t understand how electricity works.

Bedding has questionable stains on it. Mold on the walls peeking through the wallpaper in the bathroom, lamp and sink leg were broken like it came as a hand me downs from another hotel, door was off its track so couldn’t close the door separating the rooms properly. Cabinets wouldn’t close and so on and so forth.

Overall, it’s crazy this place has 4.5 stars and cost as much as it did. I wouldn’t recommend it for families with kids due to the hygiene of the place and safety risks to little ones.

Not good.
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Hotel was Dirty. Washcloths were so old and thin I
l could see my hand through them. Mattresses need to be replaced. There was hair in the bathtub. The carpets in the halls had clearly not been vacuumed for a long time. I was charged $14 to park my car in your lot? Breakfast was marginal.
