Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina
This place was absolutely beaten up. Grounds were not maintained, walls, rooms, hallways etc stained dirty broken and just really bad shape for the price. Things that were offered were not available and if there is any event scheduled, guests are pushed out of those areas over 4 hours before an event ...

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel
It was a rainy day so we didn’t get to enjoy the pool but the fact that it was heated made us want to jump in regardless! The beach was right outside and a nice bar and seating area was right there! Loved it!
