Top Rainbow Row Hotel Reviews

Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Always a blast at the Charlotte Harbor Resort. My 17 year old son and his friend loved the amenities and had fun riding bikes on the property; grabbing quick dinners on the patio; and of course loved all the pools/firepits. They even liked the tokens for the onsite store to get free drinks and snacks. We will be back!"

The Vendue

8/10 Good

"It was okay"

The Restoration

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right off King St. We paid for an upgraded room and it was worth it. The only two things that could be improved were security - no keycard needed to get to our floor even though there is a restaurant on the top floor accessible to the public. The breakfast basket was very modest consisting of stale pastry and one yogurt for 2 people and a few cubes of cheese. Definitely not in line with the rest of the experience."

Andrew Pinckney Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great. Hostess Barbara, for happy hour, was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to meet."

Emeline

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our time at the hotel, great food and drinks."

The Ryder Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice spacious room excellent location"

Church Street Inn Historic Charleston, Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Inn is beautiful and in the perfect location. The check in staff was very friendly but didn’t not provide accurate details concerning the parking garage. The night staff person seemed to have an issue with my son asking a question about it. It turned into an exchange of words and the staff person following him outside. My son is a 30 year old man, not a college kid. The morning manager didn’t seem interested in listening to my side of the story, only defending his employee. Feel slightly discriminated against as if confusion of age and social status played a part in this. This will probably be a reason not to return."

The Meeting Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room had a school vibe with modern amenities. It was clean. I loved that it was center to everything we wanted to do. The Charleston Market is literally across the street and the French Quarter is within minutes of walking. The breakfast, afternoon wine and cheese, and cookies at night was a special touch. Thank you!"

The Cooper

10/10 Excellent

"Everything ia just perfect . I heard it’s the best hotel in SC."
