"This is an older hotel and you can tell. But it has views that are second to none. The rooms are comfortable and quit and very reasonable. Breakfast buffet was mediocre and typical of hotel food. Bar could stay open a little later ( closed at 9). Had a few cocktails which were good. Not hotels fault but many guests were typical conservative SC crowd complaining too much about democrats, without awareness that others around them may not agree or appreciate. Overall though a nice place...
