Hilton Club Liberty Place Charleston

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the one bedroom condo and it was like having our own apartment. It was so spacious and beautifully decorated along with high end finishes. I just wanted to move right in. So quiet and very walkable to all sightseeing. Harris teeter is just down the street so we were able to stock up on snacks to have in the kitchen. I’ll definitely stay here again! They are time shares so each one is a tad different but not much."
