The Hamilton has been in Summerville for years. My family and I first stayed at this motor inn way back in 1978. We've made many return visits while spending time with family who live in the area.

It is located adacent to Azelea Gardens, which is lovely during the Spring. It is a nice park to just stroll through and relax.

The Hamilton is your standard no-frills motel. It is small and doesn't offer a pool, but it's a good place to stay if you are looking for a basic room, within walking distance to the center of town. It is located only 20 minutes from Charleston. So it is a nice alternative to a more pricey, big city hotel.

The rooms are average size and clean. All rooms include a microwave, refridgerator, two double beds and direct dial phones. The staff, at this family-run establishment, is courteous and professional.

Vending machines and free ice is avaliable.

I would recommend the Hamilton to anyone visiting Summerville and other towns in the region.

PROS: Good location, near Azelea Park.
CONS: No swimming pool, or places to sit outside. Must walk to town to dine.
