Homewood Suites by Hilton North Charleston

So... I'm quick to praise and slow to complain, but this last Homewood experience is one that needs to be voiced... First the good - with only a single exception, the entire the staff are VERY friendly and professional, regardless of role - GREAT JOB! Also, the breakfast was quite good! i'm not a breakfast person, so i don't have much to compare it to, but that said, i found it quite tasty! Now the bad - the room was DISGUSTING... pillow smelled like doodoo, broken shower door handle, peeling wallpaper in many places in the bathroom, STICKY kitchen floor, multiple cigarette burns on the table, ripped/torn couch, couch and/or carpet smells heavily of BO, just really, really poor. i'd say that the daily cleaning staff likely do a good job (other than the sticky floor), but this room appeared to be way, WAY overdue for a complete remodel. if THIS is the way pet-friendly hotels typically present, then I am OUT! i won't even mention the EVER present smell of pot out in the parking lot… i will assume it's now legal in SC? AND THE ICING on the cake - you have to PAY FOR PARKING ($12/day) ??? BOO - SHAME ON YOU Hilton... It's not like the building is even CLOSE to a high volume/occupancy area like in downtown NYC, Philly, DC, Baltimore, etc... BOO! Never staying there again, and will likely stay at other lodging options from this point forward, particularly a shame after being a LOYAL Homewood customer for about the last 40 years as a frequent government and vacation traveler

We were in town for a dance competition and so pleased with our stay. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make us feel so welcome. Our rooms were very clean and had everything we might need. It made it comfortable for a full week stay. The pool was great for the kids(and the grownups too).

Everyone was friendly, great spaces for families. Would come back again.

Great place.

Did not enjoy paying for parking every day

Parking is terrible here on weekends. Good luck finding a spot. Oh and they charge for the Parking as well. $13 or so after fees, overpriced. Office staff is sub par depending on who you come in contact with. The young man that seemed to always be there in the afternoons was always so friendly and welcoming.
