Top Upper King Design District Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Charleston DWTN - Medical CTR by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel with clean nicely appointed rooms. The location is very convenient to medical center area. On premise parking is basically nonexistent but they do provide parking at a nearby parking garage. Front desk staff needs a remedial course in customer service. Not sure I’ve ever encountered someone so unfriendly and unwelcoming. This will certainly be a factor when considering lodging for future trips to the area."

Moxy Charleston Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was great. The staff the area of the environment was all good. I really enjoyed myself and my bartender. The lounge area was beautiful and I even loved the bar area."

Hotel Bennett

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was absolutely wonderful!"

The Lowline Hotel, part of JdV by Hyatt Charleston

8/10 Good

"The hotel was completely renovated this year, rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable and linens are crisp. Front desk staff, valet parking and our housekeeper Claudia, provided excellent service. The bar in the lobby is very pleasant and had several non alcoholic drinks including beers. There’s a coffee shop but coffee was disappointing. I ordered decaf drinks several times and all of them were watery and flavorless. I found their breakfast options lacking. They offer valet parking for $55 per night as well as self parking for $3/hour capped at $36 per day. The area is lively and offers plenty of dining and entertainment."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Charleston Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very. Hospitable to us. Historic location very cool. Lots of street noise in the middle night was a challenge: sounded like garbage trucks, big machinery running. Woke us up around 3:30 am first night. Car park fee very expensive. No place to self park."

Emeline

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasant and welcoming hotel. Helpful and courteous staff. The coffee and fruit and water on each floor quite a treat and perk."

Andrew Pinckney Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very well appointed, clean, well staffed historical property right in the heart of the historic district. Extremely close to worthwhile horse drawn carriage rides and shopping galore at the famed city market and small street side shops. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, plentiful and fresh! The staff were so friendly for breakfast and afternoon cheeses & wine, also complimentary! Valet service went beyond plus the bicycle taxis were also readily available and reasonable."

Live Oak, Charleston Historic District, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel, exceptional staff. We will most definitely stay there again!"

Fire Tower

10/10 Excellent

"It was within walking distance of the historic district"
