My recent stay at the Courtyard By Marriott Charleston Historic District was enjoyable overall, although there were a few drawbacks. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to downtown attractions (I loved being able to walk to places like the Aquarium!). While my room was clean and the bed was comfortable, not all aspects felt great. I did find the price a bit high considering the room's condition and some issues with cleanliness at check-in.

I was really looking forward to my stay at the Courtyard By Marriott Charleston Historic District, but it ended up being quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the location is super convenient for exploring historic attractions, but on the other, the check-in process was frustratingly slow, and my room fell short of what I expected for the price. While the staff tried their best to help, the overall experience just didn't hit the mark for me.

Rooms

Though I got the balcony I reserved, the room was smaller and had a cheap feel to it, especially with the handicap accessible features I never asked for. The noise level between rooms was noticeable, disrupting my sleep.

Service

The location of the hotel is definitely a win—just a short walk to King Street and other historical spots, making sightseeing pretty easy.

Dining

Dining options were a bit lackluster, especially since the cafe closed early and didn't offer complimentary coffee. I expected better breakfast options for the price.

Facilities

Facilities could use some upgrading too, like the elevators being slow and only one working during my stay made it quite inconvenient.
