Found the beds to be very comfortable (a bit high off the floor, but that's ok). Rooms are clean and the staff is very friendly. Just one eatery across the street. You have to walk a three or four long blocks for a meal. They only have a buffet breakfast in this hotel, which is not like most Marriott hotels.... More

My husband and I had a wonderful stay last weekend. Truly a nicer room and better service than most full fledged Marriott's. Great location within walking distance of almost everything. We were greeted by a friendly desk clerk who directed us to a great local restaurant (39 Rue de Jean) for lunch. Our room was spacious and clean. Probably the... More

The location is very centrally located, we parked our car for two days and walked everywhere. The staff was very friendly but the concierge, Kevin was incredible! A friend and I took a road trip and had less than two days to see Charleston. Kevin hooked us up with restaurants,a tour guide and provided personal guides to the best of... More

For many years, I have stayed at this hotel when visiting Charleston. When this property was a Holiday Inn, there were management issues but the location was great so I stayed there anyway. I had the opportunity to stay at this hotel last week and found the overall experience and the rooms to be much improved now that Marriott has... More

Great location! Super friendly staff! Fabulous concierge! My mom and sisters and I just had a girls' weekend at this hotel...May 16-20...and it was perfect. We love to walk and explore and this was a perfect location to do that. The weather could not have been better and the people were just great. Kevin, the concierge, spent tons of time... More

First the good. The staff in the bistro was excellent. They were always friendly and more than willing to provide tips on what to see and things to do. Other than that, this Courtyard is not up to their usual standards. The front desk was less than friendly during check in. Housekeeping was below standard. On one occasion, they left... More

Stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Charleston Historic District from May 13th - May 17th for a vacation with my girlfriend. Overall, hotel was very nice. Was checked in very quickly and desk staff was very nice. Concierge was good, but was unable to help too much with hotels as we tend to like small "dive" kind of places. They... More

Kevin McQuade The Concierge made our stay at the Marriott completely worth it! He saved us hours of debating what to do each day, and gave endless suggestions of places that made our trip nothing short of magical! He shows an undying passion for this beautiful city in ways others can not put into words. I can not wait to... More

Great Courtyard in a great location within walking distance to all the sites. The lobby was very modern, they had rocking chairs on the patio and the rooms were standard Courtyard fare. The only complaint were the pillows were horrible. I would recommend this as a great choice in beautiful Charleston!

I extensively researched the hotels in Historic Charleston for a May 2013 trip with my husband & another couple. There were several hotels in our budget that would have been a good location. However after reading the wonderful reviews of the concierge at the Courtyard Marriott, I actually picked this hotel for us to stay in due to those reviews.... More
