The Ryder Hotel was a fun stay for our anniversary weekend in Charleston. It's a great location, just a block or so away from Market St., and so many restaurants and shopping areas. The pool was a major attraction, as it's one of the few hotels in Charleston to feature one, and we definitely enjoyed it. The rooms were comfortable and felt new.

This is a charming boutique hotel that is close to everything. I booked it for the pool - a necessity during hot Charleston summers. The restaurant has nice vibes, the food was good and they offered happy hour specials & drinks. They have a fleet of very nice cruiser bikes, which are free for guests. I highly recommend and will be back!

Enjoyed our stay! Everyone was nice & very helpful! Many seating areas to gather with friends. Nice bar & restaurant for breakfast. Coffee bar was great! My only complaint is there needs to be more lounges & chairs around pool. Would have loved to spend some time there after shopping, but there was never any room! Overall, it was a nice, boutique style hotel!

I went on my first trip to Charleston since my husband passed so I was alone.I am a Employee of IHG and usually stay at one of their places with my discount but wanted to be in a place that I felt was a treat for me.And it was.Everyone was so Friendly.I would sit at the pool or even the bar at night and not feel alone.Loved the place.If I had one complaint it would only be that the shower floor was slippery when it was wet.Would definetly stay again when I can afford it.My son lives there so I do go a few times a year.Wonderful trip.I would highly recommend.
