★★★★ 8.9 (108 reviews)

"This classic hotel is right in the middle of town - perfect walking distance to multiple points of interest including Ft.Sumpter Ferry , the Aquarium , Sunset cruise , walking tours , the Charleston Market and scads of great restaurants . Our room was comfortable and clean with complementary water bottles replenished daily in addition to the usual tea/coffee . The front desk and valet service were among the best I've ever had- prompt , courteous and happy to serve ( a rarity these days for sure ) . Minor complaint - the bathroom in our room ( a standard double ) was on the small side - but the shower pressure was great and towels replenished daily . I would absolutely stay here again ."

"Hotel great was great other than our room  - room 135, unbelievable noise. One wall is shared with back of a bar. Constant noises from bottles being moved, jarred, barstools scraping across the floor. Outside/courtyard wall has restaurant and one evening, a jazz band (you can’t make this stuff up) which was all of four feet from our window."

"Loved our stay, below are a few things to improve upon: 1. Booked a King, hotel received reservation for a Queen. 2. No way to darken the room, light filtered in greatly from Plantation shutters and from the hallway light through the door."

The room was clean but was missing some trash bags other than all was good. Will stay here again."

The Cooper Hotels in Charleston

The Cooper

"As longtime Charleston residents (16 years), we’ve enjoyed many fine restaurants and hotels here, but our evening at The Cooper Hotel and The Crossing on July 3, 2026, stood out for its seamless, genuine hospitality and quiet competence. What began as a casual drive along the Battery to scout July 4th fireworks viewing spots became a thoroughly relaxing and memorable experience. Our visit started smoothly when a friendly young man greeted us at the driveway and guided us into the valet courtyard. Dylan, a valet, appeared immediately as I stepped out, knew just how to handle our Tesla (politely asking for the key card I’d forgotten), and set a tone of effortless care from the first moment. As we approached the entrance, a smiling young man held the door for us with genuine enthusiasm and welcomed us warmly, making us feel like honored guests right from the start. The front desk staff greeted us just as graciously and directed us up the grand twisting staircase to the light and airy bar lounge. Inside the lounge, Max, a server, noticed us standing between the bar and seating area and stepped in as a gracious guide. He listened to our story—no reservation, not hotel guests, just exploring—and warmly explained our options. When we decided to stay for dinner, he escorted us to the hostess team. Carson and her colleagues seated us promptly and cheerfully in the beautiful Captain’s Lounge. Remarkably, we went from the driveway to our table in under ten minutes. Madelyn, our server, provided excellent, attentive service—present when needed, never intrusive. She brought crisp filtered water right away and ensured everything was just right throughout the meal. Sommelier Michael was engaging and knowledgeable; after a friendly conversation, he selected a lovely glass of champagne for me and crafted a beautiful mocktail for my wife. We enjoyed the Htipiti appetizer, followed by the Heritage Chicken and King Salmon—both very well prepared. A thoughtful food runner named Ina paused with genuine concern when she noticed my unusually peaceful expression. She came over to inquire if everything was to my liking. I explained that the combination of the elegant setting and the staff’s competence had allowed me, for the first time in a long while, to fully relax and let go of any sense of needing to manage the evening. Her visible delight in my comfort was one of the most touching moments of the night. Restaurant Manager Ricardo Ornelas stopped by for a warm, personable chat, and we both appreciated the refined yet welcoming atmosphere that felt reminiscent of the French Riviera (Nice or Villefranche-sur-Mer for me). We also had a brief, pleasant conversation with general concierge Jordan Lemieux, whose authentically pleasant demeanor reflects the hotel’s thoughtful approach to guest experience. A special highlight was seeing Darrel at the bar. We know him from another favorite local restaurant, and it was actually his recommendation that first sparked our int"

Charleston Marriott

"I stayed at the hotel for three days to attend a conference. My first impression was that the room was spacious enough for a solo stay, equipped with a coffee pot, though the refrigerator was empty. However, complimentary drinking water was available at the front desk, and a microwave was also accessible. The bathroom fan made a friction noise when operating, so I chose not to use it. Additionally, it was a self-circulating system rather than being connected to an exhaust line, which I found somewhat unexpected."

SpringHill Suites Charleston Riverview ★★★
"I don't know why this hotel has such a low rating. The hotel is in a quiet location, and you can see the river from the bedroom window. Outside the bedroom, there's a living area with a sofa, desk, and bar; the sofa can be converted into a bed. There's also a small balcony. The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful, with nuts like pine nuts and cranberries. It's about a 7-8 kilometer drive from Savannah's old town."

"The hotel is a quaint place in the heart of historic downtown Charleston. Wonderful breakfast! However, we forgot a bottle of wine we had purchased in the room and they failed to inform us even though we didn’t get our car from valet for several hours after checkout AND they identified us as the people that checked out when we picked it up. Sure, it was our fault that we forgot it but I expected a higher level of service from this hotel."
