Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston Riverview

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and affordable rate"

The Vendue

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our 4 night stay and visit to Charleston. The Vendue staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given Champagne during registration which was a fun touch. Familiar faces were always there to greet us as we came and went. In the evenings, sherry and a sweet treat were available in the lobby. Every morning we had a goody bag with croissant and fruit. The only problem we had was the first night we didn’t get our room in the Enclave, but the 2nd night they moved us over and everything was great. Walkable distance to many sights, art galleries, and restaurants. Fabulous!"
