Charleston Hotels with Hot Tub

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.

This is an older property that clearly used to be majestic. Today the frame is there but a lack of maintenance shows. The staff were very good. They also have a 24 hour valet. My room had nice high quality furniture - not the cheap crap see in most hotels today. But the carpets were old and dirty, the paint is worn and cracked, and there was mold in the bathroom. The A/C was ok - not great but ok. The room felt humid. But it was very quiet with no street noise or hallway noise. They serve a decent breakfast. The location on Market St is close enough to the action to explain the rates. If this property was out by the airport it would be $59/night. Overall, if being on Market St is important then it's fine. But if a clean and shiny hotel is important this isn't the place. Bottom line, I'd stay here again if I needed to be in the area. Mostly because of location and staff. Without that I wouldn't return.

I've stayed here in the Renaissance a couple of other times prior to this, and overall, enjoyed my stay. That said, although there was good service, I feel like things are starting to slip, making it more along the lines of a 2 or 3 star hotel, not a 4 star. And it was little things like my water pressure in my shower was horrible, the shower basin flooded, as the drain must have been clogged, and there was peeling paint around the light fixture in the shower. Additionally, the bedside lamp attached to the wall was sagging, so it gave the impression of being a bit ghetto. My bed was okay, but not amazing, and the seating furniture seemed a bit worn. I know it has to be hard to run a 4 star hotel and keep things up to standard, but just from these things being a part of my experience didn't rock my world while there, but I did expect more from the Renaissance and it's 4 star hotel rating.

This was no doubt at one time a wonderful Inn. Now unfortunately it is showing it’s age and has an air of neglect about it. There were several positives: very spacious accommodations, lovely grounds and easy walk ability to the formal Gardens of Middleton Place, view from our second floor room looked like we were in a tree house elevated along the canopy of the Oaks. This weekend trip was a belated birthday present from my husband and he bought a package. There was a huge, gorgeous flower arrangement in the room along with a cold bottle of Prosecco in the frig. The package included dinner at the Middleto Place restaurant which was lovely. Now for the reason for the 3 stars. This is a very expensive place to go for a weekend but I don’t mind the money if everything is appropriate for the cost. Our first impression when we entered the room was that it smelled strongly of bug spray. And that smell lingered all weekend. But even with that we had a couple infamous Palmetto bugs in various states of death throes and the little inch worms and flying bugs that seemed like fire flies didn’t seem phased by the spray. When we shared this with the desk the response was, well we are in the woods. The windows take up an entire wall and would be stunning if they were cleaned. Again the woods and humidity must make it challenging but for the price I would expect more. The paneling was showing its age as well and the sofa and overstuffed chair. The room was huge and we could have danced but it only had a queen sized bed which looked smaller because of the room size. The mattress sank terribly in the middle and every time one of us moved we ended back up in the middle. A breakfast buffet was included and it was also a bit neglected. On the bright side it looked like they were renovating the unit next to us so hopefully they will return this place to its original glory. I would try it again if I knew it was in an updated room, and during the off season when prices are better.

Gorgeous hotel with welcoming staff and spacious, clean, quiet, comfortable rooms. The Starbucks cafe downstairs is a great touch. My biggest complaint was the lazy valet workers out front who saw us pull up and didn’t care. They just kept talking to each other and we finally had to approach them to get any service. Other than that, we had a great sleep over the last couple nights and have been very happy here and it’s centrally located and nearby the market.

The hotel lobby and garden are very beautiful, with free ice water all day, and the summer is really comfortable. The pool is open until 10 o'clock in the evening. It is a bit small. It feels like playing with water and sunbathing. The conditions are very good, with towels. Booked a twin room suitable for three people's room type and price, but the room is smaller than the imagination, can not sleep three people, had to pay for the room at the front desk. The location is very good and the shopping around the restaurant is very convenient. Parking, 39 dollars a day, valet parking.

As many folks have already commented, this is a dated hotel that feels a little cramped and claustrophobic. The rooftop bar is nice. The hotel elevators can get overwhelmed during peak hours. The things I liked were the price and the central location. It was convenient to downtown, James Island, N. Charleston, the plantation gardens, etc. Additionally, when it costs ＞$500 night to stay anywhere downtown, this hotel with its free parking is a reasonable choice. What I disliked the most was pulling out of the parking lot. The hotel is situated on a very busy road, and whether you're exiting north or south, you're contending with very fast traffic and blind spots. You really need to be alert. In summary, a very dated but reasonably priced hotel.

We really loved this hotel. Not too far from the airport and close to downtown too. Price was a bit higher than we hoped but once you see the room it's worth it. Breakfast staff really friendly and helpful but the breakfast could use some work though except the Waffles those were pretty good. The front desk ladies are so warm and welcoming except for one. I had to go back to ensure I got her name Kaya. She needs customer service training or maybe she's not a people's person if so she's doing the wrong job. Her approach is like she's bothered by you when you go to the desk. First time in Charleston so I asked directions to the Historic District and where to find what. She looked at me and said ”ma'am you can use your GPS that's what I use” and she went back on the computer to do whatever she was doing. That same day we left and went to get a quick lunch at Ruby Tuesday next door (DO NOT TRY THEM), my husband who is super friendly and talkative with everyone was just sharing with her about Ruby Tuesday and asking if she ever tried it, bluntly said NO, and went back on her phone. The ladies that work at night were totally opposite, Tonyann and Fiona. They recommend Triangle Char and Bar a MUST try very close to the hotel. They always have a smile and are ready to help. Overall, I'll definitely be back at the hotel, but hopefully, Kaya isn't there when I am.

Wonderful hotel - have stayed there multiple times over the past 10 years. Service is excellent and room quality is very good. We stay at the across-the-street location. Only complaints were the bag breakfast was not delivered one morning (wish they would go back to the seated breakfasts of the past) and the evening cookies were stale several evenings. The valet parking was very expensive, $49 per night, but the service was excellent. Would not ask for a better location - walking distance to all wonderful restaurants and many museums. Will certainly go back next year.
