Best Charleston Hotels

I stayed here on a girl's trip to Charleston and was also able to use American Express points which was a bonus. (It was a LOT of points but the nightly room rate was quite high so I expected that). The hotel is beautiful, quiet but cool vibe, very understated. My room, while small, was quiet, well appointed (gorgeous chandelier) and the bed was SO comfortable. One thing I thought strange was that there were no in room coffee or espresso options. They did have a morning coffee self service stand in the lobby which was fine. There were also no places to grab a quick bite to eat to take on the go which would have been convenient. Two of the mornings I was there I didn't have time to either order room service or go sit in the lounge to order breakfast so I ended up eating a granola bar that I had with me since I was meeting people for other activities. The service across the board was excellent. The views from the Citrus Club were beautiful although service there seemed to be way too slow and the whole key card/wait for entry didn't quite seem necessary as we had to wait twenty minutes to get up there and found it 50% full (maybe a staffing issue?). Regardless, it is a lovely hotel, a block off of King Street. I would definitely stay here again.

I was pleasantly surprised after reading the various reviews on this hotel. We attended a birthday party for a relative. The party was in one of their private rooms with a bartender. The plated food (chicken or salmon) was excellent.) The hotel rooms were clean and in good condition. And, the beds were extremely comfortable. I was really impressed with the handicapped accessible room that we needed for my husband. It was large with a really huge bathroom. The staff was the reason that I gave this hotel a four-star review. They were friendly and readily accessible when we needed information or support. A special thank you to one of the bell captains who brought a wheeled cart to take over forty gift bags down to the party room. Again, good service. Coming from a metropolitan area, I am comfortable giving tips for service. We also enjoyed the hotel restaurant. The menu was large enough with a great breakfast buffet. The food was very tasty and varied. There was made to order omelets included with the brunch. It was the first time that I saw smoked salmon and grits on a breakfast buffet, but it made me happy. We ate a number of lunches at the same restaurant. Their Nicoise salad was excellent, very well priced, with a piece of cooked-to-order tuna. It was beautifully plated and delicious. The drinks from the bar were not over-priced. The cocktails were excellent. We didn't have cars and quickly could have Ubers drive us to different sites. I'd return if in the area.

Lovely, well-appointed, comfortable hotel. The room was clean and the location is great - you can walk everywhere. Loved the breakfast basket each morning - really unique idea. Housekeeping was great as well - room was cleaned and set up each day and coffee maker was restocked each morning. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. I stayed in a Studio but it was bigger than my apartment! Only downside: sometimes sharing the elevators with 7th Floor rooftop goers was a bit of a concern, but I would just wait for the next elevator and no USB ports in the room. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend to others - just will remember to bring an extra charger.

Rarely leave reviews. This place deserves it. It was all so perfect for a couples weekend. Pool and deck was gorgeous with great views. The hotel is close to all downtown. Every sitting area throughout the hotel was done to perfection. You can spend a full weekend just in this hotel and it’s amenities if you wanted. The club room was an added bonus with great service. When they didn’t have the drink I wanted at the club bar, Dan went out and got it for me. 5 star service and hotel.

Staff at the front desk was a bit dismissive and parking costs $20/night. Breakfast not included but there’s a restaurant on site. Pros: - great location, close to attractions, restaurants, shops - Wifi works well - rooms are relatively clean however I found a few hairs here and there - rooms are spacious enough - Check-in is at 4pm officially but our room was ready at 2pm so we could check in - mini fridge in room - the hotel is nicely furnished and decorated - 24-hour fitness center - 2 complimentary bottles of water - Coffee machine in the room Cons: - staff at the front desk could’ve been friendlier - bed too soft and pillows too thick - A/C didn’t work properly—the room was either ice cold or hot

Great spot! Perfect location to downtown,loved it !!Though the weather was nasty!

Another year, another corporate meeting at the Cambria in Charleston. This year it started off with a very indifferent front desk reception from the desk staff. The rooms are quite decent, but nothing seems to have been done about the hot water issues. If you want a lukewarm shower, get up early, and run the water for at least 7 to 10 minutes so that it warms up. Our room was ”serviced” each day, however no new coffee or cups were placed on the coffee bar. The bartender was downright hateful, yelling at people, and cut off food service suddenly. This was unfortunate for those who had traveled from the US West Coast, and had not had anything for supper, and had no transportation. There are no walkable restaurants near the hotel. The bartender further was yelling at people, and told one in our party ”I am a single mother.” He informed her that he was a single father, but he was still working and making arrangements for his children's care. Just unnecessary. The breakfasts are $13 plus tax, and the breakfast area was dirty. There was old food on the tables, and the offerings included rubber eggs, cement grits, swimming in grease bacon. The whole breakfast self service area was filthy. This hotel knew this large group was coming, yet there was no plan to accommodate the crowd. This is just poor hotel management. Do not book groups to this hotel.
