PROS: We stayed here for 4 nights during a family member's visit to MUSC. Contrary to what other reviewers have said, the location is excellent. Right on the waterfront, 2 minutes to MUSC and various fast food (Arbys, Hardees, McDonalds, Wendys, Taco Bell), 10 minutes to downtown, and 20-30 minutes to beaches. They also offer free covered (and outdoor) parking.... More

We wanted to take our 7 year old to Charleston to see the historic sites prior to a week in Hilton Head. My husband and I travel several times a year for work and are Marriott reward members (Silver level each). We did not use points for this stay. The Marriott website describes the hotel as "This upscale waterfront hotel... More

This paticular room was in need of attention. Action was taken as soon as the guest reported the concerns. The Room Attendant and Inspector were placed back into training so other were not disappointed as they were. The room they stayed in is not a good example of the rest of our property. That room indeed overlooks our garbage dumpster... More

Visiting this hotel for our wedding anniversary. We are Marriott rewards coustomers and always stay at Marriott hotels because they have a standard of excellence. Although this hotel does have great customer service, the hotel itself is outdated. Our room is smaller than a college dorm room. We have very little outlets to accomodate our cell phones and other electronic... More

Close to many attractions and historic district a short drive. Nice pool area overlooking marina. Does have a bar, with indoor and outdoor seating which many courtyards have dropped. Rooms overall were good but A/C a bit loud. Have stayed here before and will probably use it again in the future.

This hotel has the porch that looks over the boats and the river. It is very relaxing place to stay if you like to sit out and talk to friends. The view of the boats and river will de-stress you even on your worst day. Staff is very helpful and offers great recommendations. Very close to downtown.

Got our room via priceline and for what we paid, it was a pleasant surprise. We got a corner room on the 3rd floor and we had a TON of space. View was decent as we could see the city on one side and part of the river on the other. Bed was pretty comfortable and the bathroom and shower... More

My wife, 3 year old son and I had a great experience here. After leaving a terrible inn on the waterfront in MT. Pleasant, we headed here because my son, who was having surgery the next day, wanted to see the boats. The clerk upgraded us to a marina/water view room that was clean and spacious.

Arrived to a 2-queen room without refrigerator or microwave. When front desk personnel approached, it was as if we had done something wrong, and no alternative suggestions/options were provided.
