La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston Riverview

8/10 Good
"Had a decent breakfast, smelled clean, and air conditioner worked great! Downside was every morning we could hear them loading and unloading boats. Bathroom was in desperate need of renovation. Shower rod was half broken and ceiling paint was peeling off to name a few things."
