Verified traveler

It’s not kept up. It looks like no one has taken care of anything. You feel very unsafe.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Really hard to say, though it was beautiful and our room overlooked the river. So much was closed due to the stay at home orders.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

This was just an overnight stop on the drive home. I did not do any sightseeing in Charleston.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I grew up in Charleston, it is always good to go home!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It was an okay city. I think you have to be raised there to appreciate the area.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The Town Center Mall is losing more stores, especially upsetting to see Macys is now gone. I visit Charleston twice a year and always shop at this mall. Its sad to see so many stores closing and no new stores taking their place.
