Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

The Charleston Place

The Charleston Place

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing stay, as always! We absolutely love the Charleston Place Hotel and make it our anniversary destination every year. The rooms are beautiful, the service is consistently exceptional, and the location simply can't be beat. Once we arrive, we never need to get back in the car until it's time to head home. Everything we love about downtown Charleston—restaurants, shopping, and historic attractions—is just a short walk away. Every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. We already can't wait for our next anniversary stay!"

"The evening shift staff are excellent and very helpful. Morning shift not as much. The “pool” is more of a 16 person jacuzzi. The primary downside is the construction adjacent to the hotel which ruins the view and tranquility. Overall would recommend staying here but maybe wait a few months for the construction to finish or for a discounted rate until said construction is finished."

"Some lint came out of the overhead vent onto our bedspread right after we checked in. After letting them know they immediately sent housekeeping to change all the linens. This is the second time we have stayed at the Vendue. Very convenient to lots of places within walking distance, including the Market. Will come again."

Andrew Pinckney Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Parking was easy and both of the valet that assisted us were very friendly and efficient. The wine and snacks in the afternoon were very relaxing, with a lovely view and very friendly ladies serving. Breakfast was ok each day, but we would have liked a meat option in addition to the quiches and frittatas. The room was very clean and comfortable and quite spacious, but provided very little natural light due to a small window and building directly next door. The location was fabulous for dining and touring."
