Top South Carolina Aquarium Hotel Reviews

The Francis Marion Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very clean room and nice view of the harbor"

The Beach Club at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We love everything about this resort! We have stayed here many times."

The Ansonborough

8/10 Good

"Checked into our room and noticed that the bed was "well slept in". It needed to be replaced...So the guy at the front desk moved us to another room. Which was not too far away. Smaller but still a nice size. The TV in the bedroom was not operational. This room had a very awkward bathroom layout...you had to manuever around the toilet to get into the shower! Very poor design!"

Emeline

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place with a really good restaurant. Will definitely be back."

Hotel Indigo Mount Pleasant by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location - right over the bridge from Charleston and convenient to shopping, restaurants etc in Mt Pleasant. Pool was very nice and rooms were also very nice. Would definitely recommend and return!"

The Vendue

8/10 Good

"Good stay, lobby unique, staff very attentive"

The Dewberry Charleston

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Good location. They were renovating I assume a restaurant while there. Food was served in the bar area. Not the best circumstances I think the overall appearance is clean yet quite understated. I’m not a glitzy person but I’d almost call the atmosphere drab overall Staff was great and professional Didn’t have time to visit the spa"

Hampton Inn Charleston-Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay, staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was excellent"

The Ryder Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the aesthetic"
