Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

Andrew Pinckney Inn

8/10 Good

"Love the delicious breakfast and wine/cheese reception in afternoon! Gracious hospitality and comfortable beds in heart of historic area. Used parking this visit too."

The Vendue

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our 4 night stay and visit to Charleston. The Vendue staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given Champagne during registration which was a fun touch. Familiar faces were always there to greet us as we came and went. In the evenings, sherry and a sweet treat were available in the lobby. Every morning we had a goody bag with croissant and fruit. The only problem we had was the first night we didn’t get our room in the Enclave, but the 2nd night they moved us over and everything was great. Walkable distance to many sights, art galleries, and restaurants. Fabulous!"

Mills House Charleston, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Favorite"

Indigo Inn

8/10 Good

"Our room was right across from reception, so very convenient for arrival, departure, breakfast and enquiries, but occasionally noisy from passing guests. It had no windows, so was a bit of a ‘cavern’, but it was well-lit, the a/c worked, (if noisily!), and the bathroom was also well-lit and spacious. The bed was king-size and clean but I found the rubber over-mattress a bit uncomfortable. Most of the staff were great and very helpful. The older guy on reception was a bit off-ish, we thought, but not a problem. Parking is $28 but probably as cheap as you’ll get anywhere. Buffet breakfast was fine, and there’s hot drinks etc available all day, and cheese and wine from 5pm. All in all it served our needs, and is very central for all the sights."

Elliott House Inn

8/10 Good

"Loved the courtyard with comfy couches! Was disappointed there were no coffee makers in rooms. You had to get dressed to go to the courtyard to get coffee."

The Spectator Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property with a very attentive staff."

HarbourView Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Harborview Inn is an excellent property! We loved everything about our stay. From the delicious morning breakfast, to the wine and charcuterie, to the milk and cookies, everything was wonderful. We used the rooftop daily and it has a beautiful view. I cannot say enough good things about the staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful. A special shout out to Sam who made our visit very special. Thank you Harborview Inn for an amazing 46th anniversary spent with our daughter and son in law. We would definitely return."

The Palmetto Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was fabulous. Best bartenders in town."
