4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

My parents, my husband, my daughter, and I stayed here in April 2013 for a wedding. We had a two bedroom/two bathroom suite. The bedrooms were smaller than I expected (you had to unpack your suitcase and use the drawers), but the "living" area was plenty large (and well stocked), and the bathrooms were good sized. Our rooms were serviced... More

We went to Charleston for a getaway with family. We had a two bedroom suite that was excellent. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. When we got to the room the AC did not seem to be working. The hotel sent some one up right away. He had it working in about 15 minutes and the room... More

As soon as we walked in, it was a pretty lobby (like an old, stately home). Unfortunately, there was an old, moldy smell that hit us. The staff at the front desk were so friendly, and helpful to us. They sold us the tickets we needed for some tours in Charleston and we can's say enough good things about them.... More

When traveling my family will always stay at a Marriott Brand if it is available and this is the second time we've stayed at a Residence Inn. The young lady at check in was extremely pleasant and helpful. Our suite was a little smaller than the two bedroom we had in New Orleans but was much better in the fact... More

Many reviews have already stated that the hotel is not downtown and that there is an evening shuttle. This is not the nicest Residence Inn I've ever stayed in, but the staff could not be better. From a phone call before I arrived to the moment I checked out, each person at the front desk and breakfast bar was wonderfully... More

I booked this location as it was close to where I needed to be in Charleston area. Overall, a very good stay. Check in was problem free. Young lady at desk, an "intern", was very attentive and should have a great future with Marriott. Reception was going on and we were invited to participate. We got drinks but we didn't... More

We selected this hotel as it was pet friendly and we had our dog with us. I have to say I saw a lot of dogs there! They have breakfast as well as an evening reception. The only thing that I disliked was they had a shuttle but it did not start until after 5pm. Also, even though the hotel... More

We stayed with a week with our pets. The hotel was convenient to downtown if you have a car or want to take their shuttle in the evening. If you go during the day, you'll need to get a cab for about $12. The room was small and fairly clean, though we had trouble with some things not working. The... More

We stayed with our two dogs for nine nights. The hotel is pet friendly and comfortable, but a bit worn out. Our suite was a bit too small for the furniture, and the carpet was really dirty. You couldn't tell by looking at it, but when I tried to dry up some water I spilled... geesh! That kind of grossed... More
