Top James Island Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charleston Riverview

8/10 Good

"N/A"

Cambria Hotel Mount Pleasant – Charleston

10/10 Excellent

"The property was kept very clean & all in working condition. The rooms were large & modern and had everything you would need, Keurig coffe maker, small refrinergator , microwave , plenty of towels, hair dryer , soap, shampoo & conditioner. The parking lot was well lit and had ample parking. They had an outdoor pool(which I did not use), however, it too looked well kept & had an ADA lift. There was a resturant/bar onsite that served dinner ( I did not eat there-so cannot comment on the foor) & they had a small market area with drinks, snacks & small microwavable items(pizza, mac & cheese). The location was in Mt pleasant & centrally located many areas in Charleston .I would defintiely recommend this Hotel . Pricing was fair & staff were very accomodating ."

Emeline

10/10 Excellent

"The Emeline property, staff and rooms are top-notch. We enjoyed the property's coffee shop and restaurant as well. I would definitely recommend staying at the Emeline. It's proximity to everything in the historic district is a plus. The minus would be this: My traveling companion and I arrived at the Emeline just before noon. We had been traveling since very early morning - me by car and she by plane. We were delighted to hear that our room was ready - a pleasant surprise. We'd have a chance to freshen up, regroup and start to enjoy our exploration of Charleston. Not so fast...there was a $50 fee to enter our room early. I have since learned that the Emeline is not alone in this practice, but it is not the welcome we expected, nor did we expect to pay more on top of our room rate for that night's stay. We ended up paying it (remember...tired, grubby and wanting a refresh), but felt manipulated and unwelcome. Fortunately, our stay turned out to be very nice and I still would recommend the Emeline. I would, however, ask the Emeline to rethink their money-making early entrance fee."

The Palmetto Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for a romantic weekend away in Charleston! Short walk to all the best dining, or strolling along the battery. Included breakfast was just what we needed to start our day, and the staff were all so lovely. Hotel bar is really charming for a pre-dinner drink, and the espresso martinis are so unique and yummy!"
