Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a great location with great views. We called the front desk probably 5 times for various reasons- get questions answered, etc - and they never answered. Also never really gave us a rundown of details like the fact we would be charged if we didn’t return pool towels to the proper place. The beds were fine and rooms were relatively clean and comfortable! The floors were a bit scuffed but that’s what happens when you have brighter colored rooms. The shuttle service was very convenient and we would’ve rented bikes had it not rained"

"The property was gorgeous! Our room was decorated in red, white, and black with unique pictures on the walls. There was a bag of pastries and fruit on the door handle every morning which was very nice. My only suggestion would be to change it up daily so it’s different pastries and fruit. We loved the hotel."
