Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston Riverview

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston Riverview

8/10 Good
"The front desk staff was more than awesome. I had a small problem with my room and Ken, the front desk person not only brought me a new key to another room he even helped me move all of my belongings including my cat. He waited to make sure everything was perfect and when the tv showed a lost signal message he even moved furniture to ensure that the connection was indeed the problem. It was. He definitely went above and beyond. Upon checkout after a nice breakfast buffet, the receptionist wanted to make sure that my second room was totally up to expected standards. Not only are they pet friendly(cats and dogs 30$) the rooms are spotless, and the morning view was filled with yachts in a marina. A definite stop every time we pass through Charleston."

"We absolutely loved everything about The Vendue: fabulous artwork, wonderful staff and concierge service, the location is supreme and safe at night, walked to 5 star restaurants, and one of the best perks is their warm homemade chocolate chip cookies and milk after a long day and dinner. They were dangerous in the best way! We had a king room with windows. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks to the wonderful staff for making our visit so memorable."
