HarbourView Inn

If you're thinking of staying downtown Charleston, I would be surprised that you could find a better place. As all the hotels are pricey in the historic district, we found the HarbourView Inn worth every dollar. The service staff were very friendly, helpful, and absolutely superior at their jobs. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best. One of the front desk people even ran down some batteries and delivered them to me at breakfast after I inquired if they had any for my mouse. Their rooftop area was such a great place to eat breakfast and enjoy a glass of wine at dusk while gazing out into the water of Charleston harbor. Location was perfect and accommodations very comfortable. I also never experience such an efficient valet service. We drove a couple days and never had to wait more than a few minutes to receive our car, again excellent service. So, their service and accommodations along with the beauty and FOOD of Charleston made it a perfect stay!

This is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in! The rooms are huge and the beds are very comfortable. The staff is friendly and ready to assist you with your plans. The location is excellent; right by the free shuttle stop and the Waterfront Park. Breakfast is delivered to your room or the rooftop. There is a wonderful social hour at 5:00 with wine and many delicious charcuterie treats. Later, there are four or five kinds of warms cookies and milk for bedtime!

We stayed three nights at the HarbourView Inn and found it to be a wonderful experience. The entire staff was extremely accommodating and pleasant. The room was spacious and comfortable and the location near numerous restaurants and attractions was excellent. Our room was on the fourth floor and there is a terrific rooftop terrace where you can bring wine and goodies from the daily wine and cheese hour each evening. There is a continental breakfast included each day and you can choose to have it brought to the rooftop, the atrium or your room. If you do choose the rooftop be aware that the birds that hang out near there will hover around and will attempt to join you. The atrium has coffee and fruit available a good part of the day and in the afternoon there is tea and lemonade available as well. Each night at 9 there are cookies and milk available in the lobby. I loved most of the features of our room save one...the Wi-Fi was extremely slow. I thought this might be due to my devices but connections at other accommodations on our trip convinced me otherwise. I suspect that this may have been something unique to the room as sometimes the routers do not always reach the rooms evenly.

Great location, clean and comfortable lodgings, friendly and helpful staff. Also, the rooftop has a beautiful view. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful experience in this quiet boutique hotel. The staff and customer service are top notch, from the valets to the front desk to the room service. Nightly happy hours are fun with a selection of wine and a whiskey punch, and nice charcuterie spread. You can get your wine and cheese and enjoy it in the lobby, on the terrace or in your room. There is no restaurant on site, but breakfast is included which you order the night before, specifying the time you would like it delivered and the place...your room, the lobby, or the terrace. The location is great, within walking distance of many restaurants and the City Market.
