Top James Island Hotel Reviews

The Charleston Place

The Charleston Place

8/10 Good
"The staff and the rooms were amazing. The renovation is beautiful. However, we were disappointed to learn that the shops inside the hotel won’t be there anymore, and we missed the coffee shop that used to be there as well. We could still get out of the hotel and onto King Street while we were there, but were no longer able to walk through any shops to get out directly onto Meeting Street. I’m sure they have some great renovations for the space though. Still a great stay!"
