Everything was great! The apartment is clean and modern, location is nice - near downtown, looking good, and the service is super friendly. The Dyson hair dryer, few coffees and creams and the welcome gift make yours stay even better. The Irys Hotel is a place to stay.

The breakfast was very good except the fresh fruit needs to be better. The location was fantastic, just a short 10 min. drive over the bridge to downtown Charleston. There was an amazing selection of restaurants in Mount Pleasant. We counted over 100 on the map they gave us. Lots of variety and price points. We loved Tasty Thai, Saltwater Cowboys, Agaves Cantina, Pages Okra Grill. Whole Foods is just half a mile away.

    The location of the hotel was in the center of all the places we wanted to visit, making our drive time very little for the places we visited. The hotel staff were very nice and honored any request we had. The hotel room was very clean and had a nice fragrance in the room the entire 4 days that we were there. The breakfast offered was just right, nothing too have. We were able to enjoy itvand still head out to explore the city in a timely manner. We couldn't have asked for anything more!
