"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

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"

"An affordable option in historic downtown Charleston that's popular with young budget travelers and backpackers... clean and simple rooms." Full review
Fodor's "A small enclave of 1840s-era buildings make up this homey, idyllic hostel." Full review
Lonely Planet "Housed mainly in a wonderful 1840 dwelling complete with atmospheric blue porches and an odd, twin-matching architecture setup, Charleston's one hostel is creaky and inviting." Full review
