Our room was gross. Dirty carpet,paint peeling off a furniture and the doors in the bathroom. The bathtub had mold and rust in different areas. The curtain was torn off the rod, and if you looked up and in the corners of the room, it looked like there was mold growing. I also ordered a room that cost extra to have your snacks and water refilled every day. They never did. I went down to the desk. They apologized and said they’ll be sure that it would be done. the next day it never happened. The staff is very nice, but that embassy suites needs a big renovation!

The property is in need of some upkeep. They were reapplying plaster to the exterior of the building just outside our room, which sounded like a small jackhammer for the entire day of Friday. The room showed signs of aging, old carpet, some peeling baseboard, paint and some peeling wallpaper. Otherwise, the room was very comfortable and generally pretty clean. It was dusty, but maybe that was because of the jackhammering of the old plaster on the exterior. Vallet parking was excellent. The two hour free, cocktails, and snacks was also wonderful! It’s close walking distance to many good restaurants and sites. There’s also a free municipal bus service down to the historic district and other parts of the city.

We had a lovely stay at the Embassy in the Historic District. Excellent location between Meeting and King Streets where most everything is or accessible to. We felt safe walking and so many great dining options within a short distance. The hotel is older and certain parts were under construction, but it has a beautiful charm.

Does not always have parking

We arrived around 9:00 at night and the check in clerk says their valet parking is full so I will have to find my own parking. A Friday night, in Charleston, in town.... I said well that is something you should let people know ahead of time, that your "free parking" may not be available. She hands me a preprinted card with parking garage name and address, so apparently this is common. I asked if they would validate the charges she said nope and sent me on my way.

Should be embarrassed!!!

First...let me say the staff was very friendly and professional. That's the good news. The facility and our room was terrible. The hotel in general is badly in need of a complete overhaul. Public spaces are very dark, badly decorated and unclean. The room was a disaster. See the pictures...wall paper is peeling, hand rails pulling out of the wall, painted walls badly stained and the decor, which looks to be years old, is badly scratched and dated. Bottom line for as room that we paid $300+...there was not one thing about the room that was satisfactory. Owners should be embarrassed! The staff said that a major update is planned...until that occurs, my advice is to avoid this hotel.

I am a Hilton honors member and someone who travels for both business and leisure frequently and was incredibly disappointed with the Charleston Embassy Suites. It is in desperate need of a refresh - the atrium smelled of mildew, the breakfast area needed a cleaning, and the finishing were worn and outdated. I understand it is a historic building but it looked like it felt rundown. I have never written review before but thought it was important for Hilton and customers to know. I paid - with taxes - over $400 a night and felt taken advantage of

This hotel was the previous citadel. We visited during December and the park next door was lit up each evening and during the day had a couple events. King street is behind the hotel, just a diagonal walk across the park. We took uber to the market, carriage ride starting point, and the waterfront. Cheap ubers, and centrally located without breaking the bank! I'd stay here again.

From the moment I stepped out of my car . .

The tone for my entire stay was set when the friendly hotel valet (Shelton) said “Welcome to Charleston” the moment I stepped out of my car! The entire staff was helpful and friendly! The building is amazing and beautiful with so much history and the hotel is located within walking distance of so many great places to eat, shop, and sight see in historic Charleston. The other valet (Don) wished me safe travels as I departed from the hotel. Top notch employees! I really enjoyed my stay from arrival until departure!
