Sleep Inn & Suites Cross Lanes - South Charleston

Sleep Inn & Suites Cross Lanes - South Charleston

8/10 Good
"This was our second stay at Sleep Inn Charleston. The rooms are a good size with large bathrooms. The toilet is separate from the shower which is nice; however, the room with the toilet is small and on our second time staying had a weird door set up that knocked against the door to the larger area of the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. The pool was closed and the fitness room hadn’t been open for a long period of time. We enjoyed walking over to Crackle Barrel for dinner."
