• Perfect Marriott service in a beautiful location.
• Hot Tea is still a novelty in the restaurants.

“Nice Location. Minutes driving from Historic Charleston. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the river view. Perfect Marriott customer service. Good recreation facility. Nice restaurant on site. Need to do something about Hot Tea. Executive lounge was closed on weekends.”

• The lobby area was beautiful.
• The maid barged into our room at 8:00 am as we were sleeping. She did it again at 9:20. We were not checked out. We complained but nothing was done.

“The lobby and public areas are beautiful. The room was nice but the view of the roof lacked beauty. The bathroom was tiny. The leisure experience was ruined by the maid coming into our room twice in the morning before checkout time, once while we were sleeping and the second time I was in the shower. The staff was unaccommodating. Our stay at this hotel was disappointing.”

• Staff and the room was newly renovated.
• Noisy room from upstairs.

“The only negative is that the hotel is remote from old town Charleston. It is an outstanding value that offers newly renovated rooms, friendly staff and clean facilities.”

• Great location, very pretty hotel, food & bar nice.
• Did not have any shampoo in the rooms and they did not offer any type of breakfast items. Had to pay for everything.

“I really liked the hotel. The location was great and people were really nice. There were 2 things that I did not like. They are: they charged us to take the shuttle into town and there was not any type of complimentary coffee or breakfast items. We had to purchase coffee. Overall it was really nice.”

• Decor, location, Starbucks.
• Restaurant staff seemed inconvenienced by us when we needed them and for help with our child.

“Beautiful, clean, great location-close to highway and easy to get around. Restaurant on-site was mediocre. A small Starbucks inside is nice, but only serves a handful of drinks. While we were there 2 different conventions were taking place so there were times when the terrace and outside areas were closed off to the public.”

• Nice rooftop bar and good facilities. Hotel itself is a little dated.
• Location was not convenient to the attractions in Charleston.

“However, the hotel is showing its age despite recent refurbishing. I don't think it quite lives up to its 4-star rating because of that. The best feature was the rooftop bar; very comfortable and relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The least appealing feature was that it was not easy walking distance to the historic downtown or the Cooper River waterfront. However, it is very close to the Citadel and it is an easy drive to the Ashley River plantations.”

• It was easy to find, and it was a convenient 5 minute drive into the heart of historic Charleston.
• We had the unfortunate luck to be placed beside a loud, drunk woman who later had to be removed by security.

“The hotel and room were very clean. The staff was very helpful. It was in a very convenient location. Only 5 minute drive to the heart of historic Charleston. We enjoyed our stay.”

• Very clean and great decorating - excellent staff - good location.
• Did not have an indoor pool - only had outdoor non-heated pool and closed.

“Very nice class hotel - great room and beds excellent - refrigerator and microwave in room - good view of river - at hotel during a expo (we did not attend expo) and the hotel was about 85% full - still had plenty of room and parking and front desk staff is excellent (they helped since my daughter's suitcase was lost by "United" in Chicago - won't use United again period) - would definitely stay here again - easy to Downtown and plantations and great place - will stay again when we come back.”

• Patio and outside upper terrace.
• They wouldn't let us use the things we liked. Had private parties.

“Could be a really good hotel. But maid staff didn't make room. Couldn't speak any English. Overall incompetent. Also, hotel should not close off normally common areas to guests for private parties.”

• I have stayed at the Marriott Marquis in NYC. The Charleston Marriott is nicer!
• I could not stay longer!

“The appearance of the hotel was impeccable! The lobby and entrance ways were open with lots of light. The decor was quite chic and very inviting. The room decor was absolutely beautiful with the bright colors and use of mirrors. The bathroom was elegant and had a double shower head. Our room had a terrific view of Charleston and The Ashley River.”

• The staff was very friendly and helpful with excellent dining suggestions.
• There was so much condensation on the windows that there were puddles of water on the floor.

“The hotel was clean and attractive. The staff, from the receptionist to the concierge, was friendly and very helpful. The location was convenient to historic Charleston and the other places that we wanted to visit. We did not eat in the hotel dining area but the smells wafting into the lobby made it hard to resist. Parking was more then adequate with many entrances into the hotel. I would recommend the Marriot Charleston to my friends and family.”
