Great place to unwind

Spent a weekend in November 2011 at this hotel. Staff and amenities were wonderful. Views out the harbor side deck are just great, right on the water. Pool is in a private alcove, not carved out of the parking lot. Only thing to be aware of, it is not where you can walk to mid town Charleston. Short drive, but the hwy is in the way for walking. Plan to drive into the downtown. But for an end of the day relaxing place to end up - this hotel is perfect!

Charleston S. C. Courtyard Waterfront

The staff went out of their way to deal with a reservation glitch and to make recommendations for local dining. The only negative is the relative isolation from the heart of Charleston. Everything is a short drive and parking can be difficult. It was great sitting on the balcony during the evening enjoying the sunset and the river views.

Dining tip: Short drive from hotel

Ask the front desk staff for dining recommendations. There are some very good moderately priced local restaurants within 10 minutes drive time. Reservations are strongly recommended as eating out is popular with the locals.

We stayed overnight prior to heading out to surrounding beach area. Check-in was a snap... Great Southern hospitality. Hotel was very active with lively music by the pool. The room was comfortable. Only 5 minutes drive to downtown. We'd stay here again.

Nice room, great view

Nice hotel, room was clean, the water in the shower was hot (very important!) Great view of the river. Only problem was that I wanted to order food to be delivered but there was no telephone book in the room. Not good. I understand about "going green" and all, but since I was unable to get WiFi working on my laptop, I needed one. I still think they should have local phone books in rooms.

Nice hotel but not really that upscale

This hotel is in the middle of being updated. There are work crews revamping everything from paint to paper. This can be distracting. The STAFF however were very friendly and helpful at all times. Make sure you take advantage of the shuttle to/from downtown. It's inexpensive and convient to use.

Not worth the price!

Went site seeing. Hotel did not have enough garage parking. Hotels in Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach much nicer for less money. We do plan on returning to area, but will find something better.
