Top Downtown Isle of Palms Hotel Reviews

The Ryder Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!! We went to the bar twice and breakfast once and had a wonderful experience each time. The only thing that could've been a little better was the A/C. We were there during a heat wave and the A/C never got as cold as the temperature that we set (I think the lowest possible selection was around 70-72, nothing crazy)."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston Riverview

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful the breakfast was very enjoyable and plenty of food and drinks. The staff was very friendly and helpful with their time and they were very friendly and polite to all the people and guests. The only downside was the charge for parking which was not mentioned in the booking process"

The Ansonborough

8/10 Good

"Room we had was on the first floor and was a nice room. It was loud at time with banging of some sort likely from the entrance door to the hotel. It’s a nicely located hotel and has a nice breakfast. The breakfast is nothing over the top but is a great option to start the day and save a few bucks on your stay. Grocery store directly adjacent is very handy if you desire to grab a few things. Would certainly stay again. Beds were 3/5 for comfort."

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is very old and has been updated. But could use another round of updates. This is the second year we have been and the elevators are always an issue. They are very expensive for what you get but since they are the only hotel you don’t have a choice. As soon as we checked in the smoke detector was chirping from a low battery. I called the front desk, someone came, took the smoke detector ans 5 days later we checked out without anyone replacing it. Also. Make sure you know what a Juliette balcony is. Very small. Can fit a very small chair on it if you turn is sideways."
