FRANCIS MARION HOTEL REVIEWS
Recently returned from a first time trip to Charleston staying at the Francis Marion Hotel. Absolutely loved it. The lobby was beautiful, the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. The rooms were clean, the location was perfect within walking distance to everything. Service was top notch. Ordered bottle of wine for the room and couldn't get the cork out. Called the front desk and an an employee came up very quickly to open it for me. Definitely will stay here if ever back in Charleston.
Just stayed at the Marion for a long weekend. The hotel lobby is very spacious and comfortable and lovely to hang out in. The hotels location make it perfect for exploring the city. The service is great and all the hotel staff we met were very friendly and accommodating. Our room was clean and perfectly adequate for a short stay. We appreciated the small fridge. We would definitely stay here again.
My Wife and I have stayed here previously and the service was phenomenal! Additionally, I just had to call reservations and regarding an upcoming stay. The individual on the phone was extremely polite and was able to assist me very quickly! Great customer service all around!

THE VENDUE, CHARLESTON’S ART HOTEL REVIEWS
Staying at The Vendue was incredible. Brian, Cameron & Adam were so helpful and went out of their way to make our stay fun and exciting! Barbara did the art tour and was fun and quirky. The valet service was top notch. The Vendue is located in the heart of Charleston and close to all of the shops. The hotel room was clean and spacious. An added bonus was the roof top bar! Our girls weekend with my daughters was a huge success and a large part of that success was the hospitality and customer service of the hotel staff. We now have a new favorite hotel! Thank you Vendue!!
We REALLY enjoyed our 1-night stay at The Vendue. From the very start we were greeted by a valet and never had to think about our car again, due to the prime location of this place. We were able to walk to the market, King St, our dinner reservation (Fleet Landing), and the Joe Riley Waterfront Park.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and updated. I enjoyed strolling the lobby and looking at the art. The amenities were fantastic. Apparently they read my mind and knew that I would want a cookie at 9pm. The location was top notch. Walking distance to anywhere in the city you’d want to go. We’ll stay here next time.

BEST WESTERN CHARLESTON INN REVIEWS
The hotel is very close to downtown (about 8 miles, straight shot). The property is well hidden from the busy road and has a lot of nice greenery and plants surrounding it. Our room was in the back facing a wooded area and was very quiet. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The included breakfast was very good and had many options. We loved having the Keurig in the rooms! I asked the front staff for flavored creamer pods one day and a guy went to the closed breakfast area and brought me 6 which was very nice! We were on vacation for 4 nights and 4 days. There are really good restaurants near the hotel and of course some of the best food in the world 10 minutes away in downtown Charleston.
Older hotel but it is kept very clean and is well cared for. The amenities are nice. Great price if you are looking to save money but still be comfortable. They have complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the lobby anytime of the day. I had a raspberry mocha coffee and it was my favorite. The room is well stocked with everything you could need. The free breakfast was the best breakfast I've had at a hotel like this. The eggs were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The bacon was delicious and the waffles were the best! They definitely care about quality.
Great beds and good breakfast choices. Stayed for two nights prior to cruising and selected the cruise package. We were shuttled to and from the cruise port and left our vehicle at hotel. More convenient and less expensive the leaving vehicle at the port. I’d stay there even if I wasn’t cruising out of Charleston. Friendly staff and a good hotel.
