Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

The Ryder Hotel

10/10 Excellent

" cute and clean"

The Francis Marion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Service was excellent, The Consierge was extremely helpful in finding the things we wanted to see and places to visit. The buffet was wonderful and the staff there were very accomodating and friendly. It was disappointing that there was no gife shop to pick up a souvenir. The safety grab bar in the tub was a plus for the hotel."

The Restoration

"Very pleasant boutique hotel in a great location. Tasteful, large rooms. Full refrigerator. Picnic basket breakfast delivered each morning. Large rooftop hot tub. Free drinks and snacks from 5 to 6. Staff was fantastic, particularly Matt. He was constantly going out of his way for us. We will definitely be back. "
