Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina
Rooms were clean, air conditioning was very cool which we loved. Beds were comfortable. Staff was always pleasant. We ate at The Fish House on the property and enjoyed each dish. The water taxi is walking distant. For a small charge you can ferry over to Charleston. Definitely would stay again.
