The Palmetto Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Great location."

Church Street Inn Historic Charleston, Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough good things about Church Street Inn. Excellent location, each room has a townhouse feel with a 1st and 2nd floor and 1.5 bathrooms. Each floor had a ceiling fan to circulate air. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this property. Parking is only a very short walk from the property. When arriving, off-load your luggage in front of the property and then park in the public parking garage 1 block away. I highly recommend this property."

Cambria Hotel Mount Pleasant – Charleston

10/10 Excellent

"I had the pleasure of staying in the King suite corner room, which boasted floor-to-ceiling windows that bathed the space in ample natural light. While the view wasn’t particularly spectacular, it was still a delightful feature. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in with me multiple times throughout my stay. Although I opted not to use the pool, as I was on a beach trip, I wouldn’t have gone there anyway. The pool was small and lacked much in terms of amenities. However, I would gladly return to this room and this hotel, with the exception of these minor shortcomings. Overall, I would rate this hotel a solid 9.5 out of 10. I highly recommend it to others. The hotel was immaculately clean and exuded a sense of modernity and recent renovations, particularly evident in the well-maintained rooms."
