Cambria Hotel Mount Pleasant – Charleston
Clean hotel and comfortable rooms. There is no restaurant on the property. No breakfast or hot meals available. However, you can buy snacks and drinks. We would have liked to have shower caps in the bathroom.

Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina
There was some construction going on during our stay. Everything that was not being worked on was very nice.

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel
The view was the best thing about the room. The toilet paper holder was broken, dresser drawers would not stay closed (had to prop up a pillow to keep them closed), the floor in the room was filthy, and only one elevator worked. The wait time for the elevator was horrible at times.
