"Amazing location and super luxe"
Hotel Indigo Mount Pleasant by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Indigo had everything we were looking for - comfortable room, great pool, onsite restaurant and bar and wonderful staff. It was great being only a few minutes away from seemingly everything - Patriot’s Point, downtown Charleston, I’on and the Credit One stadium. We’ll definitely be back."
The Ryder Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Enjoyed our stay!
Pool was always super busy as they allow passes to non-guests. "
Town & Country Inn and Suites
8/10 Good
"Stayed at this property during a recent visit to Charleston. Although we did have a few glitches with our room, the staff was attentive to our concerns and quickly made things right. The location is convenient while not quite downtown in the historic district. I give this hotel high marks for their customer service and overall hospitality - desk staff and management. "
Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel
4/10 Poor
"We upgraded (paid extra) to reserve a higher level room. This turned out not to be an upgrade because when we arrived we realized 1 of the 2 elevators was not working. Later we were told 1 elevator was out because it hadn’t been inspected as it should be. After we arrived, checked in and settled in to our 9th floor room, we were notified BOTH elevators were out. We reached out to the front desk and were asked “you can’t take stairs?” From that point on, elevators were repaired and then back down again. Since we had to leave the room at a minimum to eat, during our stay we had to take stairs from 9th floor down once and then up once. This was a huge problem for 2 people that aren’t in tip top cardio shape and 1 that has asthma. For travelers that verify a place has elevators before booking, this was a big let down and inconvenience."
Embassy Suites by Hilton Charleston Historic District
6/10 Okay
"The woman who checked us in was very brusque and standoffish. She also lied about our room being quiet as it was right on the street across from a restaurant with a loud bar at night. Our room had old AC that just had a knob that said "cool or heat" (not digital) and when we turned it to cool, it made a high-pitched sound. Thus we had to deal with a hot room in order to avoid that unpleasant sound. Otherwise, the bed and pillows were comfortable and the rest of the staff were nice."
The Francis Marion Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay. The beds are more like fulls than queen beds and the bathroom was pretty small but we realize this is due to the time period this hotel was built. The beds although small, we're every comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. You can walk to many different shops, bars, and resturants. "
