Emeline
"Definitely use the Valet because parking is a nightmare in downtown Charleston. Make sure when you book your stay to call the restaurant to make reservations as they get filled up quite quickly. Minutes away from the open air market. Beds are very comfortable."

The Ryder Hotel
"Good stay over all. The hotel location is very convenient. The rooms are clean and spacious and comfortable beds. I would have loved a better food options at the bar/restaurant by the pool but the hotel is very cute. And I loved they had filter water fountains on each floor to refill our water bottles. ..."
