We chose this hotel on price. Downtown charleston looked far too expensive but you probably sacrifice proximity for value. Saying that this is a nice hotel with views over river (we asked for balcony) and pleasant surroundings/pool area etc. we had a vehicle kept in free parking so popping into town wasn't a problem. Rooms very pleasant. Staff very welcoming.... More

This is a great hotel that I have stayed at many times. I brought friends and family here too and worked with the concierge to set up restaurant reservations as this is the city for food. It is excellent for a relaxing and/or fun filled vacation. Sherry the concierge is always helpful and a delight to see. Top notch and... More

We stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights to see Charleston. The views of the Ashley River are impressive though, be warned, they are building a new hotel next door (and they do start work early). The staff are friendly and the rooms were clean. I noticed a leak in the bathroom and it was repaired within 10... More

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed your visit with us and this incredible city. The construction next door can be a nuisance at times but it's great that you were able to look past that and still take advantage of the gorgeous views of the Ashley River from our terrace.

My husband I have stayed at this hotel for years almost every time we go to Charleston and have loved it----except for this time.

I had an overnight business stay at this hotel and found the waterfront views lovely. Overall it was a standard Courtyard. Some areas could use a little updating (hall carpets, etc.) but I found it very comfortable with a nice bed, very clean room and convenient (we had a car) for short drives to King Street for dinner and to...

We're thrilled you had such a great visit to Charleston and thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us. One of the great things about our property is our location - right there on the water and close enough to the Historic District that you get the best of both worlds!

We were down for the Food & Wine Festival and enjoyed our stay. However make sure you have transportation to food and shopping. We used the shuttle and taxis since parking in town can be a challenge. In fact we even walked back once! All in all a fine time!
