Check in was excellent as well as check out. The bathrooms and carpet are in need of the TLC. Location is very good and coffee on every floor is so nice. This was our second time...thanks.

My wife and I really enjoyed our recent stay at the Market Pavilion Hotel in downtown Charleston, SC. This is an older, historic hotel in a great location within a short walking distance to lots of good restaurants, watering holes, retail stores, the large covered market whose vendors sell a wide variety of products, and several interesting places to visit. The hotel itself is clean, classic and well-maintained. Our room was beautiful! The only "downsides" associated with our stay was the rooftop bar closed at 10:00 pm the night we were there negating our plans to have a nightcap after we had gone out for a late dinner, and the main restaurant on the first floor adjacent to the lobby that was classy/traditional and looked like it came out of "Southern Living" magazine did not serve breakfast or lunch-only dinner. Even the very nice and long main bar on the first floor accessible as you walk through the main entrance was closed when we returned from dinner around 10:15 pm. The staff was excellent and they have valet parking! I would definitely stay there again!

Location was great. Charleston is very walkable. Receptionists and housekeeping were wonderful! The only thing was this hotel did not have a place for breakfast other than in your room and that was just coffee and a few pastries that were placed near the elevator. There also was no where to sit other than your room. No courtyard or lounge area. The rooftop was a bar and restaurant.

We stayed one night as a last minute trip away. We loved the location. The Pavilion Bar offered great drinks and Justin the waiter was great! Check in was quick and easy- ladies at the reception area were helpful. Bed and linens are nice and clean. Room was clean and lots of space. Only complaint would be the AC in the rooms. We turned to Air 65 setting and it was still warm all night. I read this in another review as well. All in all.. great hotel and we would certainly stay again!

Beautiful hotel in very central location. Valet parking had in and out privileges but we never needed our car because we could walk everywhere from the hotel. Elegant features in rooms and in public spaces. Enjoyed the complimentary coffee and light breakfast each morning too. Very professional and friendly staff who went out of their way to make guests feel at home.

Have been here many times over the years. It’s not near what it used to be or worth the price. Staff that was there was the only highlight of the three days. They did a great job given they were down to just a handful of people. Same seven people worked desk, concierge, bell and valet. Plus stocking the concierge floor. Hats off to them. The bad. No hot breakfast. Can’t even get hot breakfast with room service. No eggs, bacon, grits or biscuits here. No in room coffee maker either. Breakfast is coffee and poor pastry in the hallway. Not a fan of having to get dressed to go out for morning coffee. It was completely gone one day at 9 am. Tiny tv. Maybe 24in. The bed was overdue for replacement. Sore from sleeping, if you can call it that. Parking for valet was nonexistent. Had to use public parking then call the front desk to make space to pull in front of hotel valet. They just didn’t have staff. On final day appeared to be a homeless person locked in the lobby mens room stall sleeping. Everything was overpriced but that appears to be the new normal for Charleston. Have been visiting for over 30 years but this might be our last stay downtown. Charleston in general isn’t what it used to be. This place just adds to its demise. Sad on so many levels to see a place we love deteriorating.

Frustrated arrival
The initial room they gave us had a window with an opaque white covering which TOTALLY prevented you being able to see out of the room. When we complained they gave us another room. We got to the 2nd room and they knocked on the door before we unpacked and said they needed to move us to a 3rd room because they were decorating on that floor. The 3rd room was fine.

The location is absolutely amazing! You simply can't beat it if you're looking to dine and shop. I would highly recommend Market Pavillion to anyone who is planning to visit Charleston and have a truly authentic trip. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet. The rooftop bar is a must and Grill 225 is an amazing restaurant!
