There was no venting in the 4'x4' bathroom; the air conditioning was set at 76F and it was not adjustable. We paid $12 per day to park in the attached garage, 69 cents per minute to use a computer or printer in their business center, and they charge a daily rate for WiFi.
There is too much ugly gold foiled furniture cluttering a very small room. You have to turn side ways to walk between the foot of the bed and the dresser. The motel is in a terrible location, surrounded by college dorms and a bad neighborhood to the north. This should be a grand old hotel. It's not! This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in while in Charleston.
