California Dreaming Restaurant. Right on the river, great food, good ambienence. Found it by surprise and finding parking in downtown Charleston at any time but especially at night is nearly impossible unless you are staying downtown. This was a great experience and we shall go back

Great for Seafood

The staff was courteous. The room was ok or so so. The dining room did not offer much in the form of variety The hotel was situated so that you were incarcerated for all meals without a car. They did have a shuttle which was very good, 7:30 am to 9:30 PM every two hours Shuttle stops were fixed Laundry room consisted of one washer and one dryer

The hotel shuttle saved you money in the transportation to and from the city. Tipping was optional but certainly expected and justified.

If only the balcony was real...

The hotel was wonderful and amazingly close to downtown Charleston for the price. The only complaints I had was that the restaurant is horrible and the service there is just as mediocre. Please spend your well earned money elsewhere for a meal, (AW Shucks is good). Also the balcony is permanently locked, which was somewhat disappointing for a hotel that boasts such a view. Other than that, I recommend the hotel just don't eat there and don't even think about the balcony.

Excellent hotel for the price.

The staff at this hotel were extremely friendly and helpful, and truly went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The free shuttle that runs every two hours into downtown is a convenient money-saver. The bed was very comfortable and well-stocked with a variety of pillows, and the room was decently clean. Other than serving sub-par cheesecake, this hotel perfectly met my needs.

Great place to stay

Hotel is in a great location...short drive to beaches, outlet stores/shopping, and downtown. Take the free shuttle downtown offered by the hotel, it beats looking for parking spots plus saves you money on parking fees.

Would have missed a fantastic view!

I was thoroughly pleased with the location of the hotel and the shuttle service every two hours to points of interest. The view from the restaurant was worth the stay, although the temperature was rather warm most times. The food was okay if you did not want to go out, but I enjoyed restaurants down on Market and Meeting Streets so much better. Overall, this hotel met our expectations. I would stay here again. Apart from the stain on the carpet in our room, the hotel was clean and the staff was friendly.

Don't miss the city market where you can purchase a sweet grass basket. Examine the various items carefully for workmanship and consider buying after talking to the locals. Pride in workmanship and the stories which accompanies the basket will more than account for the cost of the basket.

Good stay for the money

The hotel stay was great! The hotel is in a good location if you want to do other things besides just go to downtown. It is located right on the highway that is accessible to Folly Beach, Savannah, North Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, or to Downtown. The room was clean and the beds were pretty comfortable. The service was good. I would recommend if you need to use their business center to print something off of the computer to check the printer first. It did not work the whole time we were there....and they did NOT put anything on the printer stating that it didn't work. The front desk is pretty great though....they ended up printing everything that I needed.

Sticky Fingers is a great restaurant!! Highly recommend. Cupcake is a fantastic cupcake place! They are probably the best! Brent's is a great sandwich shop...slightly different than what you get other places.
