Ratings and Reviews of Hilton Garden Inn Charleston Waterfront/downtown

8.2 user rating
  • Beautiful hotel from lobby to the spacious room. Bar/restaurant atria w/adjoining veranda; dinner was very good. Our room (double queen w/balcony) was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Lovely location on Ashley River - exceeded our expectations!
  • The location is incredible: right on the water for gorgeous views, and within walking distance of downtown/historic Charleston. The breakfast buffet was the best we've had at a hotel! And the staff was very nice about letting us use the omelet fixings for our scrambled eggs. The coffee was good too, and we are picky! The whole hotel is clean, light, and visually appealing. The only minor comment I would make is to jazz up the rooftop bar (another GREAT selling point for the hotel!), but I understand that will be taken care of in the upcoming renovation. Can't wait to see it next time we come visit from Massachusetts!
  • Great view, staff very professional and friendly! Everything was great, a little pricey but no complaints here. I would stay again! Waterfront is beautiful!
