Charleston Hotels with a Balcony

The hotel is in a great location, so we could walk everywhere, which was what we wanted, but I was pretty disappointed in the hotel as a whole. It's old, and not just old as in historic. This hotel is in dire need of a remodel top to bottom. The furniture looks like it came straight out of my great grandmothers home, stains and all. The carpet is old, worn, and stained in many places, and it just feels kind of junky instead of classically reflective of the period. The worst part was that our bedroom did not have a window. It was a cave. We didn't really settle in until late in the day, so I didn't think about this until day two, which I thought was too late to request a room change. Again, I understand the building is old, but I very much doubt Charleston building codes don't require a secondary egress for a bedroom/hotel suite. Needless to say, other than sleeping, I spent every moment at the hotel outside, by the pool, which was a comfortable place to be.

I loved my stay here. Joey at the front concierge desk was so helpful, especially as I had a few bags with me. He also provided me with great advice on local restaurants. My room was amazing and I had a view of the park!

I almost don’t want to share this hidden gem. Even though this hotel is small, it has everything you need for a great stay at affordable price. Our room was clean and spacious. Our shower broke and they immediately replaced a new shower head. Beautiful courtyard where my husband watched a game while we sat having drinks by the fireplace and listening to a live steel drum singer. The staff was polite and location couldn’t have been better. We will definitely be staying again. The only con is the small size of the pool which felt like bath water. Otherwise, we had a perfect stay at the Ryder Hotel.
