Top Charleston Hotel Reviews
Embassy Suites Charleston
"Clean room"
Charleston Marriott Town Center
"We stayed 4nights our room didnโt get daily cleaning. We had to ask for towels the next day. We had to request for our room to be cleaned 3rd day. We like cleaned room daily. Was disappointed. Staff was courteous and polite. The breakfast was good. Ms Conching was friendly. Our room was spacious."
Comfort Inn Charleston South
"Good view along the river from most windows, and tucked back behind some trucking areas."
Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston WV
"Clean room, very helpful and friendly front desk staff. Hotel is located within the city along the industrial section of the river so not a scenic view but the hotel is great for a road-trip overnight."
Sleep Inn Charleston North
"The standard rooms are small but nicely renovated and clean. Staff were all friendly and helpful, breakfast was good, and the snacks in the lobby were a nice bonus. Funny enough, I was talking to people next to me at a bar across town, and they said they always stay at this Sleep Inn when theyโre in town because itโs quiet and clean. Someone on the other side recommended checking out Coonskin Park, which is a short 5 min drive from the hotel. Highly recommend! Itโs a beautiful park. They also said the diner in the same parking lot as the hotel is good, but I didnโt have a chance to try it. I would absolutely stay here any time Iโm in the Charleston area!"
