My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights recently while visiting family who live nearby. The hotel is attractive and well maintained and staff members were friendly. It has a wonderful view of the Ashley River and nearby marina. Leaving the hotel, you can only turn right onto Lockwood Drive (toward downtown), so if you want to go the other direction you have to make a U-turn. You also have to make a U-turn to get to the hotel coming from downtown Charleston. It was not a problem when we were there (little traffic because of holiday) but could be an issue during heavy traffic. We would like to have walked over the bridge to West Ashley, but that route is not pedestrian friendly. However, you could walk to downtown Charleston (about 2 miles).

I traveled to Charleston on a short business trip and spent 2 nights at the hotel. This hotel is extremely close to the downtown area. The front desk staff was exceptional. The lobby area appeared brand new as did most of the room, and all hallways. It met my normal expectations of a Courtyard.

It's clearly a rehab, and you can see it in outlet covers and light switches. The building itself is not a courtyard configuration but a water front beach style with parking underneath, a very nice large outdoor patio area, and an excellent breakfast/dinner room. They do not have the bistro concept at this facility but they do have the Marketplace adjacent to the check in desk.

Security was adequate, my room was exceptionally quiet, but I did notice when walking around the floor between the bedroom and the sink that the floor had a hollow sound. I don't know if this is a wood structure in the area of room 424, but I was a little concerned my normal walking might be disturbing someone below. The bed had a creak. I didn't report it but plan to so they can address.

The bathroom didn't have what I expect for normal courtyard surround in the shower (usually marble or similar) but it was clean & new. The tile on the floor in the bathroom was also a bit lower grade than I see in most Courtyards, but looks like you'd expect for a beach area hotel.

There was nothing that would keep me from staying here again. I was satisfied for the price, and once you have experienced the crossing an entrance ramp, exit ramp and turn lane to enter the facility and driving past it to U turn to return, it's not that big of an inconvenience though on your first approach it could be a bit concerning.

Reasonably priced, attractive hotel in a great location by the marina. Covered parking below hotel was also handy. Room was clean. A few little things maintenance items kept it from being perfect; missing tile, frayed carpet edge. Staff was friendly and attentive. Problems with the room's heating unit were immediately addressed. I was upgraded to a large suite with a balcony, jacuzzi and separate bedroom. For the rate I was paying this made it a real bargain.... if it weren't for the major construction going on next door. Be warned, a Hilton going in next door makes this a noisy place from 7am until quitting time. If you want to sleep later than 7 you may be better off somewhere else or at least on the other side of the hotel.

This hotel is a typical Marriott, very clean and well appointed. It was however the smallest Marriott room I think I have ever stayed in. The front desk staff was wonderful and even helped out with a great deal! The view out the back of the hotel over the river was beautiful. We are sailors so the marina full of sailboats at the back of the property was awesome. Unfortunately our room was on the front and we had a rather dismal view of a busy highway and the Veteran Affairs Medical Hospital. Oh well I guess only half the rooms look out over the river (but if you have a choice ask for the river view). I would definitely stay here again.
