Four Points by Sheraton Charleston

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, nice room, helpful staff"

Sonesta ES Suites Charleston

8/10 Good

"The property was off the main road, which made it very quiet. Breakfast was great. The light in my bathroom didn't work (switch didn't turn it on), but I checked in so late (11 pm) that it wasn't worth bothering the front desk staff to get someone to fix it. My main complaint was the charge I received a few days after check-out. I called the hotel, only to find out it was for parking. This was not explained to me, either upon check-in or check-out. While it could be argued that this information is under "policies," hotels of this quality level (medium) and location (not downtown) do not typically have parking fees, in my experience, so one would not think to even explore that. I believe it is incumbent upon staff to inform guests so there are no surprises. I'd recommend a change there."

Hampton Inn Charleston-Downtown

8/10 Good

"Our stay at this Hampton Inn was just an overnight as we were traveling. As always, we enjoyed our complimentary breakfast. Our room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Upgrades were being made at this location as we were there, but other than some areas that needed attending, there was no inconvenience. What really stood out was the welcoming and helpful nature of the staff! They were wonderful and treated us as if we were family. Specifically, because of that, if we're ever in the area again, we will certainly stay there."
