Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

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. "

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston Dwtn - Westedge by IHG

8/10 Good

"The bathroom tub wasn't the cleanest and the floor showed signs of flooding probably due to shower door not preventing water from leaking and pooling which happened during my stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful though. "

Hampton Inn Charleston-Historic District

6/10 Okay

"The desk staff was very friendly. The room was very noisy because we could hear the people above us clomping around at early morning time. The room had 3 lamps, two of which did not work. The maids did not replenish the coffee service, so we called the desk to send some but it never came. The breakfast was so so. It was a dissappointing stay."
