Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent
"Very high end. Just need small upgrades. Like the mirror, more information on local attractions, a bike rack, a heater for the pool, and a bigger bar so I don’t annoy bother the higher end people. Also, try and silence the rooms better. Suggestion door seals, bigger Air registers and happy hour specials some barbecue outside with a chef and one man band."
