Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel
Location was outstanding, on the beach and near the town of Folly Beach. Ocean view and a pool overlooking the ocean. Staff were very nice! Only negative was slow and out of service elevator. Property is slightly older.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Charleston Historic District
Excellent breakfast, loved the free happy hour. The staff was very nice but pushy about signing on for Hilton vacations. The rooms could use an update, maybe move to floors without carpeting. Tv’s did not work.
