Top West Beach Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston Riverview

10/10 Excellent

"property was in good condition for the price, room was clean, air conditioning worked well."

Emeline

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Hotel Emeline to celebrate our anniversary, and it exceeded every expectation. The hotel is beautiful, impeccably clean, and perfectly located for exploring Charleston on foot. Our room was elegant, the bathroom was gorgeous (even down to the Kohler fixtures), and the bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in—we looked forward to coming back to it every evening after exploring the city. What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the people. Every employee we encountered embodied genuine Southern hospitality. From the thoughtful check-in experience to the friendly housekeeping staff and bartenders who made us feel like regulars, the service was consistently exceptional. The hotel even provides thoughtful touches like complimentary reusable glass water bottles for guests to take while exploring the city and drink vouchers for their sister property. The moment that made us lifelong fans happened after checkout. I accidentally left my jacket in the lobby and didn’t realize it until we were already at the airport. We called expecting to pay to have it shipped home, but instead, a staff member personally drove my jacket to the airport—nearly a 30-minute drive—so I could have it before our flight. She even refused to accept a tip. That level of kindness and care is something you simply don’t see anymore. Hotel Emeline made our anniversary feel truly special, and we’ll absolutely stay here again the next time we’re in Charleston."

The Beach Club at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were amazing and welcoming. Everything was clean and well maintained. I had a great stay! I stayed for two nights, and even though the weather didn’t cooperate, it didn’t take away from the experience. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!"

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel has great views and spacious rooms. As is typical of beach hotels, it's a bit worn in areas because the sun and moisture take their tolls, but the property is well maintained. The restaurant, Pinky's, had great food and atmosphere. The king bed was not as comfortable as some big chain hotels but there was ample pillows and blankets for the third person using the sofa bed. The only other downside is that the balcony cannot accommodate a small chair or two, but the view makes up for the lack of seating."

Moxy Charleston Downtown

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is boutique and offered a very cool and hip ambiance with a Rooftop bar and Starbucks down below. We had a Queen bed and the room is very small like European style, but kept clean. No closets or dressers, but offered a unique peg system across the room and down the hallway with suitcase slips under the bed. The staff was very kind and offered information to help with your vacation. I am not accustom to having to assertively get the attention of wait staff, but they were accommodating and attentive once you have been recognized. Parking was street parking and was atrocious unless you wanted to use the $35/day USD for valet. Not the most favorable option. All in all, we give it a 3.5 out of 5"
