Top James Island Hotel Reviews

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"For the past 2 years one of the two elevators (if not both) were consistently down. Great location but anticipate the issue and get lower floor d/t carrying luggage on steps."

Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

8/10 Good

"The property has a wonderful view of Charleston harbor, and couldn't be more convenient to the water taxi into Charleston and Patriot Point. The resort shuttle only takes you to and from one spot in Charleston, it would have been great to have an airport option. The pools were nice and spacious. Our room was dated and could tell they had rushed some upgrades. The exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work, and the pocket door to the bathroom was very difficult to open and close. Overall it was a great stay and would go back."

The Francis Marion Hotel

8/10 Good

"Couches in lobby worn and stains. Bathroom mold in sink under edge. Bathroom could be painted."

Holiday Inn Express Charleston by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff were very friendly, helpful,polite. The room was very very clean, up to date Breakfast selection both mornings were good with a nice variety. Only two items that came up to speak about. Expedia had us registered for 3 rooms, so that took a while to figure out 2nd item. The one and only elevator for the hotel was out of order the first night and remained that way during our entire stay. Luckily we were only on the 2nd floor, but I had had a Pacemaker implemented a few weeks earlier so navigating the stairs was a bit difficult for me. 2nd"
