Embassy Suites Charleston
As a person who prefers the Embassy. This one is falling apart. It’s old and they charge you $5 a day for internet. They say there is free internet but it doesn’t work. They also don’t have an attached parking for free is 16$ to park next to it. Or free but you have to cross a four lane street.

Charleston Marriott Town Center
Room was dated but clean. Smoke detectors were set off by aerosol deodorant and a hair dryer. Staff were nice about it. But also acted like it’s common. We did not eat breakfast because it was expensive. Overall it was a good stay for what we needed.
