Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston Riverview

10/10 Excellent

"Being received so warmly and patiently by the front desk staff provided clear clues of how the rest of our trip would go. We enjoyed the whole stay. The facilities were clean, all amenities provided. We experienced a clean, comfortable room, all while feeling safe in a location that made getting to and from Downtown Charleston very simple. We didn't even need a car since riding on Uber or Lyft into the city was inexpensive and quick. The breakfast in the morning was highly appreciated and had us ready for long days of exploration. I would gladly stay at this place again in the future."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Charleston Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"The place was great but I won't use Hotels.com for future bookings. They gave me a hard time on another booking when they neglected to make the reservation and didn't want to refund my payment. Over an hour on the phone after a long drive!"

Emeline

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel, however it is very well maintained and the rooms and baths are modern. It has a charming atmosphere and a beautiful court yard area with lots of seating. Each floor had a station with a coffee maker, ice, fresh fruit and bottled water for your convenience. The hotel is also centrally located. I would recommend the Emeline!"
