Top Downtown Charleston Hotel Reviews

Sonesta ES Suites Charleston

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly"

Charleston Marriott Town Center

8/10 Good

"We while attending a concert. The location was outstanding—very close and convenient to the Coliseum where the concert was held. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and we had no issues during our stay. The breakfast buffet was also very good and offered plenty of options. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!"

208 New Downtown Living Studio

8/10 Good

"Had a difficult time getting into the building. Code would not work. Finally a lady that lives in the building let us in. After reaching out to the host, we were able to get into the apartment. The place looked just like the picture on the app, it was clean. The problem was the two of us only had 1 clean bath towel. The rest of the towels and the sheets from the prior occupant, we’re in the washer/dryer combo, damp and stinky. The hosts cleaning ladies obviously did not do their job well."
