Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

The Vendue

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and we'll appointed. The bathroom was incredibly spacious. Staff was nothing but friendly and helpful. The breakfast bag and sweets in the evening are lovely. The complementary bottle of wine was welcome too!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston Riverview

10/10 Excellent

"Ms. Ricki was amazing! Truly made my stay as comfortable as possible. She answered all of my questions with patience and kindness. Her care truly made me feel right at home, helping to settle all of my nerves while solo traveling."

Hyatt Place Charleston/Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Didn’t use valet but they were very nice. Front desk staff were super nice. The new, I think, front desk manager was very sweet and sent some snacks and a bottle of wine to the room for my birthday. The room was clean and spacious. Overall a great experience. Grab a beer from the Pour House but don’t get food. Saw one of the servers take a couple fries at host station off someone’s order before it was taken out to them. That’s a huge no no for me. "
