“Clean, comfortable and accomadating ......”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

people found this review helpful

My wife and I brought my father in-law to Charleston for medical appointments. We had the pleasure of staying at the Residence Inn Jan 29-31. While this is not one of the newest Residence Inns, it was very clean and comfortable. The staff was cordial and helpful, particularly Robin at the front desk. Starting with our initial phone conversation during which she arranged for an early check in to our Handicapped Acc. suite. The 2brm suite had two large bathroom, full kitchen & 3 flat screen tv's and a partial river view.
Robin's professional demeanor, friendly greetings every morning and knowledge of the local area including dining, shopping, tours and MUSC made our stay a definite 5 star! The complimentary breakfast buffet was frequently replenished by the attentive staff and had a nice selection of hot and cold items. Also with the nice weather, we were able spend some time in the heated outdoor pool and hot tub!(in Jan!!!) We will surely be returning and would not hesitate to recommend this property. As a note, I spent 18 years in hotel food and beverage so I tend to be a bit critical.

“A Convenient Alternative to the Historic District”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My family & I stayed at this hotel while on a weekend trip to Charleston for a wedding. We chose it for its affordable rate and convenience to the wedding venues. Our two bedroom/two bathroom suite was smaller than most other Residence Inn properties where I have stayed. But, for one night, it suited our purposes.

The suite featured two bedrooms separated by a small common area and kitchen. Each bedroom had its own full bathroom. Though we did not use it, the kitchen was stocked with cookware and was suited for preparing full meals. Though somewhat hidden off of the highway, the hotel was only a short drive from the Historic District. Breakfast is served in a room adjacent to the lobby. Though I went to breakfast early, the room filled quickly. However, people did not appear to linger for long periods of time, allowing other guests to take advantage of the meal.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. If returning to Charleston in the future, I certainly would consider staying here again.

I was a bit hesitant after reading a few bad reviews but I am glad I booked it. Upon check in we were greeted by a more than helpful and friendly young lady giving us recommendations of local restaurants. The room was clean and freshly painted. The location was convenient to the historical district (about a mile away). We elected to drive since we had to cross a bridge without a pedestrian walkway. We would stay here again.

We have stayed here many times. It's in a great location, close to downtown Charleston and all the other islands, etc. are nearby. The hotel is clean, it has a breakfast and happy hour included. We would recommend and will plan on staying here again. Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Room Tip: Some rooms have balconies, others have gas fireplaces.
