Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

The Vendue

The Vendue

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were kept nicely. Every morning there were fresh baked goods and fruit hanging on the door and coffee in the lobby. Wine in the afternoon. Great location, Close to all the east bay street restaurants and city market. Interesting art work throughout the hotel. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. Would definitely stay there again."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston DWTN - Medical CTR by IHG

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston DWTN - Medical CTR by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel with clean nicely appointed rooms. The location is very convenient to medical center area. On premise parking is basically nonexistent but they do provide parking at a nearby parking garage. Front desk staff needs a remedial course in customer service. Not sure I’ve ever encountered someone so unfriendly and unwelcoming. This will certainly be a factor when considering lodging for future trips to the area."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Charleston Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very. Hospitable to us. Historic location very cool. Lots of street noise in the middle night was a challenge: sounded like garbage trucks, big machinery running. Woke us up around 3:30 am first night. Car park fee very expensive. No place to self park."

Andrew Pinckney Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very well appointed, clean, well staffed historical property right in the heart of the historic district. Extremely close to worthwhile horse drawn carriage rides and shopping galore at the famed city market and small street side shops. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, plentiful and fresh! The staff were so friendly for breakfast and afternoon cheeses & wine, also complimentary! Valet service went beyond plus the bicycle taxis were also readily available and reasonable."
