Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

Mills House Charleston, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Favorite"

Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful experience and I would recommend this location for anyone that wants a one stop place to relax and have everything you need!"

Indigo Inn

8/10 Good

"Our room was right across from reception, so very convenient for arrival, departure, breakfast and enquiries, but occasionally noisy from passing guests. It had no windows, so was a bit of a ‘cavern’, but it was well-lit, the a/c worked, (if noisily!), and the bathroom was also well-lit and spacious. The bed was king-size and clean but I found the rubber over-mattress a bit uncomfortable. Most of the staff were great and very helpful. The older guy on reception was a bit off-ish, we thought, but not a problem. Parking is $28 but probably as cheap as you’ll get anywhere. Buffet breakfast was fine, and there’s hot drinks etc available all day, and cheese and wine from 5pm. All in all it served our needs, and is very central for all the sights."

The Francis Marion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was not provided, but the restaurant had great options!"

The Vendue

10/10 Excellent

"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."

The Ryder Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room"

Elliott House Inn

8/10 Good

"Loved the courtyard with comfy couches! Was disappointed there were no coffee makers in rooms. You had to get dressed to go to the courtyard to get coffee."

The Spectator Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property with a very attentive staff."

HarbourView Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Harborview Inn is an excellent property! We loved everything about our stay. From the delicious morning breakfast, to the wine and charcuterie, to the milk and cookies, everything was wonderful. We used the rooftop daily and it has a beautiful view. I cannot say enough good things about the staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful. A special shout out to Sam who made our visit very special. Thank you Harborview Inn for an amazing 46th anniversary spent with our daughter and son in law. We would definitely return."
