Charleston Marriott Town Center
Room was dated but clean. Smoke detectors were set off by aerosol deodorant and a hair dryer. Staff were nice about it. But also acted like it’s common. We did not eat breakfast because it was expensive. Overall it was a good stay for what we needed.

Sonesta ES Suites Charleston
It was great for us to have the option of a two bedroom suite. Fair price. Very peaceful location--slept well. But you do have to drive into town for everything as there is nothing else in the area.
