Charleston hotels can be on the pricey side, and this Courtyard property provides excellent relative value. The setting along the river is pleasant, the property is clean and well maintained, and the downtown area is a short drive away. Unless you absolutely, positively need to be in the center of town or a 5-star hotel, save your money and opt... More

We were part of a wedding and received a room on the 3rd floor. The Front Desk was very nice and accommodating, however they screwed up the time when we ordered a cab to go to the wedding at another hotel. (It was 30 minutes early and we were afraid when we needed to go, there wouldn't be a cab,... More

Thank you for sharing the good as well as the bad. We are thankful we were able to easily exchange your AC for a new unit as soon as we learned about the concern. Pillows could be a matter of opinion. We offer 5 pillows on our king bed, and 4 on our double rooms for a total of 8... More

We just finished a weekend stay at this hotel. The bonus is that it is waterfront and has a great patio where you can enjoy the view. The rooms really need a face lift and other than the water front, you can't think of walking anywhere due to its location just off of a highway loop. Lastly when we requested... More

Thank you for sharing these comments. I trust that once the leak was reported we resolved the concern with speed. We are greatful to reply that all of our room renovations have been completed with everything new! Our hotel was originally called the Courtyard - Downtown - Riverview. We changed our name to Courtyard Waterfront so not to mislead future... More

My husband & I spent our 30th annv. at this Courtyard and can truly say that we met an angel by the name of Dorothy "Mama" Swinton working there. Mama made our stay one we will never forget. The hotel itself is breathtaking (so beautiful and clean with a very courteous staff). An added bonus is Mama, a beautiful spirit... More

I enjoyed my stay at this property. Although there was a minor snafu upon my arrival, I enjoyed sitting in a rocking chair, watching the cars go by and taking in the breeze while the issue was resolved. The clerks were good about keeping me apprised of how things were progressing - all while apologizing for the problem. They were... More

The Marriott is a really beautiful hotel with a multilevel patio for enjoying the view. The pool is lovely and has several umbrella tables, and reclining lounge chairs around it for relaxing. There is also a cocktail lounge and a restaurant which is very convenient. The staff were all helpful and friendly. There is plenty of parking and elevators make... More

For my first visit to Charleston, I couldn't have stayed at a better hotel! Everything from the friendly staff, clean rooms, beautiful patio and pool, and amazing view of the harbor, I can't think of one poor thing to say about this hotel! I would recommend hands down to anyone and definitely wouldn't think of staying anywhere else if I... More

This is a lovely property on the harbor. Nice pool and broad patio overlooking the yacht club. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are small, but laid out nicely with a loveseat instead of the usual single chair. A continental or ala carte breakfast is offered......average. No other food is available after 10am. There is only one... More
