stayAPT Suites North Charleston
The kitchen did not include needed items - i.e. bowls, frying pan. The TV in the living area did not work. Staff was friendly & helpful.

The Iris Charleston
The carousel parking worked out okay, but it is a little bit of a challenge to enter. The unit is small but super clean and a more than adequate kitchen. We could hear the shower running in the unit above us, which was only an issue in the middle of the night. Overall, very satisfied.

The Palmetto House
Clean, spacious, accommodating to my family of 5. We enjoyed that it was not directly on king street but close enough for us. If you like to walk this is your place !
