Hotels near Historic Rice Mill

"I’m not one for negativity but I am one for honesty so here we go… I booked this room because of the price but also because it advertised that there was a shuttle service that brought residents to downtown Charleston, which was amazing as I wouldn’t have to worry about ride sharing or renting a car. When we arrived, we were informed that there is no longer a shuttle service and that it’s because of new management? There are 2 buildings for the hotel, the main one and then a motel-like structure to the side which is where we were in. Of course, with my luck, we were put right next to the freeway and the dumpster. Both brought individual challenges of their own like the constant sound of traffic or the obnoxiously loud truck that changed the dumpster at about 6:00am every other morning. When we got into the room, our door wouldn’t shut. After slamming it a time or two, it finally shut but there was a slit of opening all around it. So although it was shut, it was not completely shut as you can pass notes in between it, or even better, things could slither their way in. When I received a generated text from La Quinta asking if we need anything the day we checked in, I mentioned the door concern but never heard back so I made sure the next morning I went to let them know. A man fixed the side of the door but not the top and bottom. Overall, not the greatest- respectfully. Not enough space to talk about breakfast cause Jesus take the wheel on that! Good lord."

"Nice room"

"Amazing location and super luxe"

"Clean room, nice staff, great amenities "

"All excellent "

"The room and bathroom were large and amenities worked well. Front desk staff great. Free breakfast not as great as other places but ok. The facility is somewhat worn but kept up nicely and was clean. Nice garden. Convenient to King Street and the free shuttle. "

"Enjoyed our stay! Pool was always super busy as they allow passes to non-guests. "

"The hotel room was lacking. There was a lot of water damage to the bathroom. The shower door wasn't sealed properly so the water leaked onto the floor and made a big mess. The lighting was lacking. A big mirror with a desk would've been a perfect place to put on makeup while somebody else was using the bathroom. Unfortunately with no lighting on that area, it was useless. I wish i would have grabbed brochures at the airport because i didn't find and until the last day we were there. They were on a desk hidden away. I didn't notice them until i walked by to avoid the line of people. The pool is outside, which is great if it was nice outside. Our hotel room keys didn't work so we had to go back to the front desk and have them rescan them. We had to wait for one of the maintenance crew to fix it. He had to go back and recreate the keys to the room before we got in. Overall, it was pkay. "

"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."
