Top Sullivan's Island Hotel Reviews

Emeline

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was excellent and helpful - loved the fresh fruit and free water options on each floor. Would recommend to anyone going to Charleston!"

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay at Tides Folly Beach. The location is hard to beat—right on the beach and within walking distance of everything Folly Beach has to offer. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the stay, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Everything was clean, comfortable, and made for an easy beach getaway. Being able to walk straight out to the ocean and then enjoy the restaurants and bars nearby was a huge plus. I would definitely stay at Tides again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay on Folly Beach."

Andrew Pinckney Inn

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston DWTN - Medical CTR by IHG

8/10 Good

"Room had a funny smell to it."

HarbourView Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel, it has a serene quality. Perfectly situated just off King Street, close to historic Rainbow Row, on a corner by a dynamic fountain and a pier, close to restaurants, bars, galleries and shops, it was a quiet, calm and cool retreat from the bustle and heat of Charleston. Our room was spacious and well appointed, the staff; friendly and very helpful. Breakfast on the roof terrace- great views- or where you choose to take it, was pre-ordered and delicious. We loved the little touches the hotel provided: on tap tea & coffee, water stations with various natural flavours ie lemon, mint etc, a late afternoon glass of wine, cheese and nibbles laid out in reception and fresh baked cookies later on in the evening.Most appreciated. Valet parking, which was reasonable in the context of other downtown alternatives, allowed us to dump the car for a couple of days and explore this highly interesting city on foot. A very enjoyable stay which I would happily repeat at the Harbour View Inn."
