Vacations Close To Charleston City Market

Kudos to Kevin for providing excellent customer service the morning we checked out. We booked through Expedia and chose a package that included parking at a lower rate of $34 while the hotel charges $49. They still charged us the $49 and we had to spend close to an hour through Expedia trying to figure it out. The young lady at front desk simply told us during check in that she never heard of paying for valet through Expedia and there was nothing she could do. The hotel is nice, you have to use valet as it’s downtown Charleston and parking in general is scarce. Room was spacious. They have a “resort fee” of around $35 as well. Location is convenient and walkable. We booked a high floor room and it was quiet. Restaurant closes at 9:00 pm which is rather early for Charleston.

Ideal as a base - hotel is very centrally located with easy walking to all historical sites and very close to King Street for shopping and restaurants. Hotel decor is very dated but if you can see beyond that you will have a great stay. Complimentary daily happy hour between 5-7pm with two free alcoholic drinks per person and snacks was an unexpected bonus. Breakfast was ok with a variety of choice, just go with it for what it is and don’t expect a 5 star experience. Staff helpful and polite.

The front desk staff were very helpful and kind. It was our 48th wedding anniversary and the staff gave us treats, bottles of water and a certificate wishing us a Happy Anniversary- what a lovely surprise! There were many shops and restaurants within walking distance of our hotel.
