- Travel 360144 contributionsGreat resource for info about the DASH busses. There are 3 routes (several maps I saw only show the orange and green but the purple is quite handy, too!!)Written March 8, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SeniorTravelerTFFort Atkinson1,249 contributionsExtremely informative and attractive, the information provided an example compliment and background to what you will see at the fort. Why were the first shots in Chareston? What was going on the country at the time? Who were the principals? All, and more, answered here.Written November 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SHB05403South Burlington, VT146 contributionsWe have stayed at an Air B&B pretty much across the street from the Karpeles several times and have never visited in spite of its being the most imposing building on the street.
This week’s chilly wet weather called for indoor activities and the library made its way to the top of our list.
The inside of the building is in considerably better repair than the outside and it’s a worthy home for the very interesting documents currently on exhibit. I should point out that exhibits change every four months and they follow a theme. We saw documents following the invention of the telegraph machine through the construction of a line between Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Maryland. Included were correspondence between Samuel Morse and various government entities dealing with patents, plans and contracts. Very interesting and all written in longhand. A concurrent permanent exhibit was a series of large format photos showing the construction of the Arthur Ravenel Bridge over the Cooper River, a significant engineering feat.
We were happy to learn that when we return mid-May, 2018, there will be a completely new exhibit on display. We will definitely return.Written March 25, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is one of Charleston's grandest surviving buildings - a private library/club which is members-only, but which you're at liberty to push open the door, spend a few minutes admiring the interior, take a leaflet, look at the wonderful old bookshelves at the back, then go on your way again.
It's pure history, and the folk inside are very enthusiastic about it.
Well worth a brief look, before you're told that it's strictly membership and that, sadly, it's not possible to come in and spend the day browsing!Written July 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Unfortunately, I have searched the catalog for many things the library doesn't have.Written March 15, 2012This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EvanGuthrieCharleston, SC10,856 contributionsThe Marlene & Nathan Addlestone Library - College of Charleston is a wonderful resource to get some work done in a quiet environment with an overwhelming amount of sources for research along with very cool collections on display to check out and learn. Awesome environment to study and learn.Written April 22, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- itsonmylistCharleston, SC15 contributionsThis lounge is quite nice and comfortable, but there's a significant issue with the check-in staff. Despite the lounge being far from full, they are extremely slow and inefficient and seem more focused on goofing around than on doing their job. On several occasions, I’ve encountered unnecessary lines even though there are TWO employees checking people in. Just today, I left after walking into a line of 18 people cramped in the small space outside the elevator. The issue isn’t with the lounge itself, but with the staff. They seem distracted, incompetent, and uninterested in their job or the guests.Written September 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
