Charleston Marriott Town Center
The Marriott was serviceable but the room lacked extra blankets, no microwave in the room, and they were short staffed in the cleaning department. I was informed by a letter shoved under the door that room cleaning was unavailable.

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Beckley
First time at a Microtel. Room was smaller then I expected. It had everything we needed. My wife packs large so a larger room is important for us.
