opened in 1999 and is a nice option if you
plan to visit the beach frequently, as it
is located approximately 3 miles from the
beach. As you might expect, the Isle of Palms

I have not
personally toured this hotel, but it is popular
with visitors staying in town for longer periods.
It opened in 1999. Expect it to be very basic. |

This hotel
is located within the walls of a historic
landmark. The site is well known as the original
home of The Citadel military school. The school
was housed here from 1842 until 1922. In 1758,
the original structure served as a fort for
the city. In later years, the State bought
the property and used it as a warehouse for
tobacco. |
