Recently visited hotel expecting to enjoy the Renaissance Brand for the first time while on business in Charleston, SC. Very disappointed from the time of arrival until check out. The front desk staff has absolutely NO customer service training. They were rude and unprofessional. This was my first red flag that this would be a horrible stay. They could care... More

We booked rooms here for our anniversary. Upon arrival we checked into a suite with living room and separate bedroom and bathrooms. Extremely nice accommodations overlooking the streets of Charleston. The service offered by the wait staff was great. Each evening the bed was turned down awaiting us with chocolates on the pillow. This is a must stay for Marriott... More

We visited the Renaissance for a friend's batchelorette weekend, and we had an enjoyable stay. As mentioned previously, the location is great. The rooms were clean and asthetically pleasing, but there really was not anything that set this hotel apart from others in its class. The price is pretty steep in my opinon, considering it doesn't seem that much different... More

Have stayed in this hotel many times on our trips to Charleston, most recently Easter weekend. My wife and I love the location and we have had both good and bad experiences. One time we stayed while a fraternity had a formal and many drank too much and forgot how to act but hotel tried hard to control them. The... More

These people know how to make you feel welcomed. Check in was smooth, valet great. Location is quite convenient to everything. Room was crystal clean. Comfy beds. Staff very friendly .Breakfast buffet was outstanding. Only negative note was bathrooms. No fans, so room steams up, big time. Bath tub has weird contour to bottom which makes it easy to lose...

I have stayed in several hotels downtown Charleston. This one is close to just about any activities downtown (I stayed during the Charleston Film Festival). The service was good, the rooms are clean, the beds are very comfortable, and there are the basic amenities you would expect. The price was less than other less-comparable hotels in the area. There are... More

Location is the best thing about this hotel. Walking distance to everything. Located in an area that's just fun to walk around plus old cemetery across the street that you can wander around in. Have to pay 12.95 for Internet. Beds comfortable .

Not to beat a dead horse but I agree with the last few reviews as well. The location is excellent but it is overpriced and thats just for the room. Internet, parking, etc are all extras you pay for. The staff is very courteous and helpful and the rooms are very comfortable but nothing spectacular(hallway rugs are also starting to... More

This location is within walking distance to much of the historic district. The room though is smaller than what one would expect. The beds were uncomfortable. The wanted us to park across the street in a parking garage which was not a huge deal. I understand though that parking in Charleston is at a premium so the cost was to... More
