Awesome location. Walking distance to everything great downtown. Beautiful hotel, great staff, the two male bartenders were great. But Maya at the front desk was outstanding! We had minor issues, and she was so kind to listen and care about our needs. This girl is a great asset to the hotel. The parking fee of $16 a night was a little steep, but that's what you get for a great location. Will DEFINITELY be back!

We recently had a really lovely 2 night stay at the Courtyard Marriott in Charleston for which we paid $159/nt. Here are the key aspects of our visit:

1. Location: The Courtyard was located just outside the historic zone but it was an easy walk down Meeting St to get to everything. It was also quick to leave when we checked out.
2. Parking: Parking was in a basement garage and was complimentary.
3. Internet: Free and high speed.
4. Refreshments: Our minibar fridge was empty which we liked so we could store things there. We had a coffee maker in our room however there was also fresh brewed complimentary coffee and hot tea in the lobby every morning. Additionally, the Courtyard had a small cafe serving food to go as well as Starbucks coffee.
5. Service: Every single staff member of the Courtyard that we encountered was friendly and helpful. Requests for extra towels were honored quickly.
6. Decor: It was refreshing to have modern, clean decor which gave the hotel non-stuffy and fresh vibe.

We had a great stay and will definitely stay here (and other Courtyards) again!

I stay at the Courtyard primarily because of its proximity to my office, but have to say that he location is great. It's a short block to King Street and all the shopping and restaurants that offers. It's ideally located between upper King and the Market area making most places in Charleston walkable! The staff at the hotel are also very helpful and the breakfast area very convenient and tasty. I stay for business and friends and colleagues local to Charleston take care of reservations. As such, I do not use the Concierge. However, by reading the other post and the recommendations noted I can certainly see that there recommendations are top notch! I have stayed at many of the Inns and higher end hotels in Charleston and can say that the Courtyard is typically a good value.

The restaurants and nightlife in Charleston are as good as any I have seen in the US. It is a fabulous place for a romantic getaway or family city / Beach vacation and the Courtyard is an outstanding and affordable place to do that from!

We decided to check out Charleston after a 4 day conference in Atlanta. At first we looked at some of the pricey B&B's, but opted for the Courtyard Historic District. I'm SO GLAD we did! The caring and pampering started at check in, continued with the bellman and was highlighted by the amazing concierge service they have. We spent time with both Elizabeth and Kevin throughout our time there. They recommended a historic walking tour given by a local historian/author. What a great way to get an overview and feel of the city. They provided maps to overlooked areas that made for a less crowded experience. Since my husband and I are professional photographers, they sent us off with maps to photograph the non-traditional shots around Charleston. The restaurant recommendations were wonderful as well. The rooms were fresh and clean, and very well designed. It felt extravagant. What a special place it is. I didn't know there was a hotel where everyone smiled at you all the time..no grouches here. Just nice, friendly and helpful people! Do yourself a favor and try them.
