    Very Clean & Comfortable!

    Booked a room here for second night of weekend stay because the property across the street (which is going through renovations) left too much to be desired. Just wanted clean & reasonably maintained. Wasn’t expecting this Courtyard to be so nicely updated, clean, & comfortable! Good view of river harbor. Parking garage should definitely be free for the price of the room, but it isn’t. Would def stay here again though.

    Skip this inconveniently located and horribly overpriced hotel.

    What a horrible - and horribly overpriced - hotel. One is met with a musty smell in the lobby upon arrival. Rooms are fair-sized but incredibly dated. Old, tired bathrooms and linens, dark and depressing rooms, a safe that didn't work - all added up to a rather awful stay. Staff were nice - the courtesy shuttle driver was delightful and the best asset of this property. There is no value for money here.

    Great location close to downtown but peaceful and relaxing

    Stayed here for an overnight visit to Charleston and didn't want to be right in the middle of the city, but close enough to get there quickly. This fit the ticket perfectly! Gorgeous water views and a truly welcoming patio courtyard area overlooking the wharf, lit up at night perfect to enjoy an after dinner drink from the bar inside. Will come back here!

    Our Happy Place

    Our happy place. There's nowhere more relaxing for us than staying at the Courtyard Charleston. It had been a while but my wife and I stayed last week and it was again wonderful. Great to see that the Bistro has been improved. Special thanks to Mariah and Tina. Always great to see you. We appreciated the hospitality and hope to visit again soon.

    Peekaboo Doors

    This hotel was a big disappointment! First, the room! It was supposed to have a balcony with harbor view. Nope! I'm posting pictures of the hotel room door. Can't believe it is to fire code. Then, the doors to the bathroom. Oh, the fan in the bathroom doesn't work. The toilet handle is very difficult to use. The beds were comfortable. Need better pillows!
