Hampton Inn Charleston-Downtown

8/10 Good

"Our stay at this Hampton Inn was just an overnight as we were traveling. As always, we enjoyed our complimentary breakfast. Our room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Upgrades were being made at this location as we were there, but other than some areas that needed attending, there was no inconvenience. What really stood out was the welcoming and helpful nature of the staff! They were wonderful and treated us as if we were family. Specifically, because of that, if we're ever in the area again, we will certainly stay there."

Mardi Gras Casino & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and staff were very friendly and helpful. We had issues with the AC, and they were unable to correct it due maintenance being gone for the day, so we were relocated to another room. That rooms electric shade went up but wouldn't go down. When we checked out we made the front desk aware of the problem. We were very pleased with the hotel and the casino."
