Top Waterfront Park Hotel Reviews

Indigo Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice"

The Francis Marion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All was very nice. The staff was wonderful; the location was great. There was a lot to do in Charleston. It is a very nice walkable city. The Francis Marian is a lovely historical hotel. It has infinite charm. My only issue was the water pressure in the guest room toilet. Other than that, it was a perfect place to relax and unwind after touring the city. Would definitely consider staying there again."

The Palmetto Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best location for so many sights and restaurants! Loved the breakfast and the bar for an evening drink!"

Market Pavilion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was wonderful. Smooth check in. Friendly staff. Rooms were pretty. Beds were comfortable. Dim lights in bathroom for nice nightlight. Rooftop bar was such a cool place to wind down at the end of the day with sunset views and good food. Location was also great, near many excellent restaurants."

The Beach Club at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Cccc"

HarbourView Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Harborview Inn was amazing. We loved the location, the room was clean and comfortable, and the staff, with the exception of one valet, was extra courteous and helpful. The extras—breakfast delivery, wine and cheese hour, and cookies and milk— made the stay extra special. I would highly recommend this hotel for a visit to downtown Charleston."

The Loutrel

10/10 Excellent

"Great trip, we would stay here again"
