Top Institute Hotel Reviews

Mardi Gras Casino & Resort

8/10 Good

"Floor had not been vacuumed had cracker crumbs. Staff was much better than last time I stayed and the breakfast was 5 stars."

Courtyard by Marriott Charleston Downtown/Civic Center

8/10 Good

"I did not like that I had to pay for parking. We paid to stay at the hotel, parking in the hotel parking lot is a given. I also didn't see anything online about paying for parking. To be honest I saw a description of the hotel and it had "free parking" listed along with wifi and all the other amenities. Don't worry, I'll be checking for this practice from here going forward. We won't darken your doors ever again."

Quality Inn & Suites Charleston - Civic Center

6/10 Okay

"It could be a really nice place to stay while visiting Charleston. However, there is a huge problem with the management. No one seemed to care about the quality of service- there was no coffee at breakfast, no bottled water, no utensils to eat what little was offered! The coffee filter in the room did not fit the machine and I was told to just shove it in to make it fit, we couldn't get the TV to work and we were told at the desk they knew nothing about it, no help.. I just couldn't help thinking how 1 or 2 really good employees would make a world of difference! Unfortunate!"

Embassy Suites Charleston

8/10 Good

"The hotel was really nice and the staff were very friendly! They had a pretty good variety of food for breakfast. It was nice to have lots of different options and they restocked it all very quickly. The pool was heated so it was pretty hot in there and it felt like you were in a hot tub rather than a pool. Also parking lot was down the street from the hotel, so we had to walk a little bit to get to the hotel/car. The only issue we had with the room was the AC. We had to call maintenance both days to fix it because the room was very hot and I had a baby with me who was getting very over heated. The maintenance guy was very nice and came very quick. It just sucked that it wasn’t steady working through out the day/night. Overall a very nice hotel and I would stay again."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston WV

10/10 Excellent

"I was hesitant walking in, but so pleasantly surprised. The room was perfect and cozy. The staff was accommodating. I would stay there again 😊. The city was a challenge to navigate with lots of construction so it was a nice restful place to stay."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Institute?

The best time to go to Institute is during the spring (late April to early June) and autumn (September to October) months. These periods offer the most pleasant weather conditions for exploring the area.

In spring, you'll find comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities and visiting local attractions without the intense heat of summer. The natural surroundings are also particularly lovely during this time, with blooming flowers and lush greenery.

Autumn brings similarly mild temperatures, usually between 10°C and 20°C, and the added beauty of the changing leaves, especially in the surrounding Appalachian foothills. This season is superb for scenic drives and enjoying the local harvest festivals.

While summer (July and August) can be warm and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, it's still a popular time for those who enjoy warmer weather and water-based activities on the nearby Kanawha River.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival.
