Noise, more noise and rooms which are so small, you can not pass another person without climbing over furniture. Location is great, service good, however too many other negatives where I would recommend this property to anyone. It should be noted I am a Hilton Honors member as well as owning Time Share with the company. Pretty much a bad... More

The hotel is older and reasonably well maintained. Cost is high based on the location. I would rate the hotel as very good mostly based on its location, which is great. The valet service is mediocre. While the valets themselves are good the they only have two on duty at a time to serve as valets and bellboys so you... More

This was not our first trip to Charleston, but our first stay at the Doubletree and it definitely won't be our last! We had a lovely 2 room suite than included a mini-fridge & wet bar. It wasn't large but very comfortable - and hard to find in the Historic District, quiet! Our room faced an inner courtyard and with... More

Located in the heart of Charleston convenient to the Market, shops & eateries. It was kept very clean. Only wish the bathroom had double sinks so both my husband & I could get ready at same time. One complaint, the TV did not work part of the time but we spent very little time in room & they had company... More

I am a Hilton loyalist so I stayed here on business for a few days. As others have said this hotel is perfectly, and I mean perfectly, located. It just doesnt get better.

I just returned from Charleston and enjoyed my stay at the Doubletree. The location was great, the staff was warm and helpful. The suite was large and comfortable, the housekeeping staff did a thorough job keeping everything ship shape. I would stay here again.

PERFECT location right in the heart of the best restaurants, night life and all that is downtown Charleston but only a short ride to Isle of Palms beach (public restrooms and changing make it best of both worlds!!) Beautiful property and friendly~helpful staff! Love the valet parking! We will definitely choose this hotel again!!

I attended a conference at this hotel in April, 2012. Really great location, friendly staff, excellent food, and very nice suite. All in all, an excellent experience from the hotel and the conference facilities. The bartender was very nice for afternoon happy hour and there were a couple of hotel guests that he asked if they wanted "the regular". Of... More
