Very clean and comfortable hotel. Has a nice rooftop bar. Excellent staff. The only negative thing is the food in their restaurant is not very good at all. I would stay again.

We walked to the historic district even though it’s 35 minutes away. It was great weather and we discovered lots of places along the way. The hotel itself was immaculate and has such great staff that are so very helpful. The pool is small but nice for a few laps to cool off.

Nice to be close to downtown but on the harbor overlooking a marina. Easy access to all the great food, drinks, attractions, and nightlife Charleston has to offer.

Chris, 2-night trip

Sep 7, 2025

The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and made us feel welcomed. The location was ideal for our needs. We were in walking distance from a great restaurant, our view was incredible, we were no more than a 10 to 15 minute drive from anywhere we wanted to go, the lobby was beautifully decorated and smells amazing and our room was very clean. The only down side was the room was rather small, the bathroom and shower were extremely small and the mattresses left a lot to be desired.

Waterfront Location: This hotel is in such a great spot — right on the banks of the Ashley River in downtown Charleston. Clean and Comfortable Stay: The rooms were super clean, and some even have full waterfront views or balconies with partial views of the river and marina. There’s also a rooftop sitting area overlooking the Ashley River. Fitness Center: The fitness center is really nice, Easy Access to Freeways: It’s close to the freeway, so getting around Charleston was easy. Recommendation: If you can, definitely try to get a room with a waterfront view — it makes the stay even better!

Location was great. Marina is beautiful. Stuff is not overly friendly. There are multiple elevators and that can get confusing. I didn't like paid parking. I feel it could be compensated with free breakfast. We got room with hwy view even hotel wasn't busy. It is bad advertisement/policy for guests.
