Top Downtown Isle of Palms Hotel Reviews

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great beach location with access to many really good restaurants and bars . On center street . Great staff at the Tides and pinky’s beach bar go Hannah and rhino 😎😎"

Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved staying at this property. The Harborside Hotel was everything we were looking for and we had a wonderful time. The Fish House restaurant was only a short walk from the hotel and there was also a lovely gift shop. It was easy to catch the Water Taxi over to downtown Charleston. Such a unique travel experience."

The Ryder Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"They’re outside areas, including the pool and the back deck area were absolutely beautifully done and very comfortable and welcoming. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we were happy to see that they actually had housekeeping come to the room every day and replenish supplies and make the bed which sadly has become a rarity in hotels these days. They were great about an early check-in and holding our luggage as we had a later flight out. The only thing I think they need to improve is the menu at the Little Palm as it was fairly limited."

The Vendue

10/10 Excellent

"The Venue met all of my expectations above and beyond. When I arrived I was greeted with a glass of champagne by Caroline and Harvey. They were such a delight, by paying attention to every single detail to making our stay perfect. The rooms were spectacular! The hotel decor is amazing with beautiful art works where ever you look. Alison the hotel art director took us on a tour while explaining in detail about the various artists. I can not say enough about this upscale stunning boutique hotel. Thank you again for making my stay and Birthday memorable."
