Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham Hurricane WV

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Clean & comfy."

Sleep Inn Charleston North

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night here unexpectedly because our car broke down. The staff were very kind and helpful. There were individually bagged fresh cookies at the check in counter. The room was very clean and well maintained. The bed was decently comfortable and the location was nice. It felt safe and it was right by a pizza place and a restaurant so we were able to walk to get dinner that night. The included breakfast at the hotel was great. If we’re ever back in this area I would stay here again."

Sonesta ES Suites Charleston

8/10 Good

"I always enjoy the layout of the room, which is perfect for business and leisure. Comfortable bed, nice furniture, though a little bit dated. The only thing I don’t like are the old style coffee makers. I would prefer to have a single cup type. Appliances are awesome too. One of the best features as they actually make bacon at the free breakfast in the morning, which is real bacon I don’t use the pool, but the pool is a nice feature also. It’s outdoor. Also, the weight room is small, but efficient. The only real complaint is my room was so far away from the lobby, I’m literally 100 yards plus the absolute best feature is the remoteness of this property in the hills, with deer everywhere, and just a nice green environment with nice views of the city from up on the hill."

Quality Inn Charleston South

8/10 Good

"Dated and a strange set up. The area is not the best. Rooms were acceptable but the hall carpet was pretty old and had a musty odor"

Mardi Gras Casino & Resort

8/10 Good

"Overnight stay on the way to Louisville and not disappointed. The hotel was nice. Rooms were basic but very clean and priced fairly for our weekday stay. The casino was very nice and super fun. The blackjack dealers were our favorite part of the experience. They were so funny and friendly and helpful as many of us were not experienced gamblers and they made it so much fun and also, a learning experience. We didn’t get a chance to see a dog race but plan to come back bc it was so much fun!!"

Courtyard by Marriott Charleston Downtown/Civic Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay after a concert and also the walking shower was awesome"

Charleston Marriott Town Center

8/10 Good

"We while attending a concert. The location was outstanding—very close and convenient to the Coliseum where the concert was held. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and we had no issues during our stay. The breakfast buffet was also very good and offered plenty of options. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!"
