"This 41-room boutique hotel, located within walking distance of Historic District attractions, is housed within two historic buildings dating to the 1860s." Full review
Lonely Planet "This bubblegum-pink 'single house' (a narrow building style characteristic of Charleston) has five twee guest rooms tucked away on a Historic District side street." Full review
Star Service "Near the larger but equally inviting King Charles Inn, this is a more straightforward sibling of the much-acclaimed Zero George Street, albeit with pared-down yet similarly stylish accommodations." Full review
Rough Guide "Stylish, Caribbean-style rooms in this boutique hotel located beside the historic market. Continental breakfast served on the rooftop terrace overlooking the city. Free wi-fi."
Fodor's "This West Indies–inspired inn offers a range of accommodations, from charming rooms perfect for couples to two-level suites big enough for the whole family." Full review

It's in the bustling Market area, so ask for an interior room.
Travel + Leisure "Located in downtown, Andrew Pinckney Inn has 37 guest rooms and four suites near the city’s historic market." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "A timeless façade, up-to-the-minute interior, and reasonable rates, at the heart of downtown." Full review
Independent "Wooden floors and exposed brickwork are features of all the guest rooms, and prestige suites..access to the beautiful, three-storey atrium is an excellent guest amenity for quiet afternoons"

Fodor's "Wrought-iron railings, crown moldings, and decorative plasterwork speak of the elegance of 1924, when the Francis Marion was the largest hotel in the Carolinas." Full review

For the best view and quiet factor, go for the rooms that face King Street and are as close to the top floor as you can get.
Frommer's "A $14-million award-winning restoration has returned this historic hotel to its original elegance." Full review

"Still considered one of Charleston's grand dames, the historic Francis Marion Hotel has lost some of its luster." Full review
Star Service "At Marion Square, the Francis Marion is diagonally across the park from Embassy Suites and close to restaurants and shopping but a long walk north of the historic and market districts." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Location, location, location is the main draw of this historic hotel, set just across the street from Marion Square, home to the Charleston Farmers Market." Full review

"The grand dame of historic Charleston hotels, the Francis Marion is a throwback to days when travellers expected no-frills elegance." Full review
Jetsetter "An elegant, historic hotel in the heart of Charleston with a luxurious spa and fabulous onsite dining." Full review
Independent "The marble floors and crystal chandelier of the spacious lobby match the style levels of any of its peers...the rooms are unfussy and have a classic, traditional feel"
