The exit/entry from Hyatt House/Place in Charleston is only to/from King St. Charleston PD has changed the traffic flow on King St to southbound one lane only from Spring to Mary Streets on Thur-Sun evenings. The other lane has a police car about every block and seems to only be of use to pedicabs. This is a major PITA for entering or leaving the hotel. It took me over 30 minutes to travel one mile to enter the hotel's courtyard this evening. King St has a lot of bars that are very popular with the attendant traffic. The changes were made several months ago to increase police presence in the area due to a couple of hit and runs along with some violent crime (idiots drinking too much and doing idiot things).
These are nice mid-tier properties, but I would thing twice about staying here again because of this.
