"This...property, located on busy Meeting Street, delivers more amenities than the average downtown Charleston inn, including a pool, a lounge, and free parking." Full review
Star Service "At Hasell Street, this U-shaped, three-story contemporary study is a good choice for frugal travelers who want to keep Charleston's sultry southern charm at an arm's distance." Full review
Frommer's "One block from the Historic District's market area, this three-story hotel has rooms that are better than you might expect from a motel and are likely to be discounted in the off season." Full review
Fodor's "Though the King Charles Inn was erected in 1958, the property sits on land that’s held hotels since the early 1800s." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Locals and newcomers mix at this stylishly modern boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Charleston" Full review

The retro, sunny mural helps but you might want to request an outward facing room.
Michelin Guide "Rooms are stylish, decorated mostly in white and light wood, and carefully balance visual minimalism with the warmth contributed by organic materials...urbanely sophisticated and so beachy" Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Ryder, a sophisticated boutique hotel that playfully challenges the ordinary for the adventurous and authentic travelers,” the release added"

"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"
