The view from the fifth floor was wonderful, I would love to see what it looks like on the tenth. The rooms were clean, bright and cheery, along with the hospitality. The staff were very helpful with directions to recommended places to see, and nearby resturaunts. My husband especially enjoyed the newspaper delivered to our room daily. Well worth the money!

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable. And it was very easy to get where we were going in Charleston. Definately will stay here again.

The room was up-to-date and clean!! That and the cost are the BIGGEST things for me; there was Internet service, the customer service was excellent, etc. The only little thing was that the back top of the toilet bowl was very dirty from the previous guests. When I asked that it be cleaned, I know they tried, but they obviously didn't see the mess--we cleaned it ourselves. The other thing is that there were 4 of us in the room and they kept giving us only 3 towels. I had to ask for more each night. But it was worth the stay there because the location to all sides of Charleston was great and the hotel was nice. I would definitely stay there again! The other nice thing is that the hotel provided copies of directions addresses and phone numbers of local theaters and attractions. VERY helpful.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The free shuttle into town is such a perk but only runs every two hours. A shuttle every hour seems doable and would be more useful. We paid extra for the view but between the dirty windows and the parking lot floodlights aimed into our room, it was not worth the extra fee. Also, this hotel sits essentially on the median strip of US 17. If you are bothered by traffic noise, ask for a high floor although non-smoking rooms may all be on low floors.

I was hesitant to reserve this hotel based on many of the negative reviews but decided to try it because of its location right on route 17. Am I glad I did! Wonderful room, with a view of the harbor and city and the sunrise, very clean and fresh. Staff couldn't have been nicer, luckily we could get into the room a couple of hours earlier than usual. Bathrooms are small, but larger than a cruise ship's! Harbor View Restaurant was very good, with a pleasant staff and good service. Not as pricey as many of the restaurant's in Charleston. We took the complimentary bus into Historic Charleston and it was terrific. Dropped us off and picked us up on time. We didn't have to worry about looking for, or paying for, parking downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed the time and will definitely go there again. Maybe we just got very lucky, but worth every minute of my time. Thanks AARP and online travel for your suggestions!
