Aloft by Marriott Charleston Airport & Convention Center
"Room was very clean, it was cleaned when I returned from being out all day. Great hospitality."
Tru by Hilton Charleston Airport
"Great location with an easy .5 mile walk to a local brew pub for dinner. Shocked to see a lobby full of teen kids by the bus load when I returned. They all decided to hit the elevator at the same time I did and they all ran at once almost knocking me over a few times. So, I listened to kids running up and down the hallway most of the night. Luckily, they were all gone by the time I got up and headed to breakfast."
Hampton Inn & Suites Charleston Airport
"I loved everything!"
SpringHill Suites by Marriott Charleston N./Ashley Phosphate
"Property is conveniently located with many eating options nearby. Parking lot is ample and rooms are very large and clean. Staff is friendly. The biggest disappointment was the breakfast options. It's standard hotel breakfast with the powdered eggs, cereal, toaster options, waffles, yogurt and the grey colored sausage that could be so much better hot and even slightly browned. Stayed 6 days and there was little variety so that got old. Was it a deal breaker? I don't know for sure. Not that it's much better but there is a McDonalds on the nearby corner...."
Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Charleston Airport/Convention Center
"Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
