"So many options for places to stay in Charleston & very glad we chose The Emeline! Great boutique hotel - upscale, safe, clean, quiet, well maintained, nice amenities. Centrally located - easy walk to City Market, the waterfront & the shopping district. Will definitely stay here again."

"Great vibe and unbeatable location at the Ryder Hotel. We originally hoped to switch our king room to a double but were told the hotel was sold out. At check-in, the gentleman at the front desk let us know he had already placed a rollaway bed in our room for us — a great touch and much appreciated! ..."

"Can't beat the location! The parking is a bit of a nightmare, so brush up on your parallel parking skills if you decide to drive. Everything else was wonderful."
