Wished the weather was better so we could’ve enjoyed the gorgeous outdoor space. The room was beautiful and the coffee shop was a great perk. Will definitely return in the future!
The service level in this hotel was notable and amenities were FUN. The pool and pool bar with outdoor space was exceptional. Location perfect right downtown.
Beautiful hotel with great staff, everyone was warm and welcoming. Had a room on the fourth floor which you have to take a second elevator which is quite a walk around the 2nd and 3rd floor, it was a pain taking all our luggage up there. Rooms have no microwave or coffee pot, the frozen iced coffee in the coffee counter is delicious though. The daily amenity fee is $40 and valet parking is about $59 which is an extra $100 a day if you think about it on top of your daily rate. I would consider staying again but not on the fourth floor.
Great location, friendly staff. Lacking in some basic amenities ie, most hotels offer a refrigerator in the room and coffee pot. These were not offered. I tend to be an early bird, coffee shop didn’t open until 7 am. Parking is also $53.00 night. Probably will not stay there again.
This hotel was pretty run down and bordering on 2.5 stars as opposed to 3. The halls smell terrible, our room had missing items (was supposed to have a steamer/iron and had neither), the toilet paper holder fell off the wall, etc.
This is overpriced and targeting an "instagram audience"- i wouldn't stay here again.
We liked getting a $10 discount per day at the coffee shop for food and, or beverages. It allowed for quick breakfast or an afternoon coffee if we didn't use the discount that morning. We enjoyed the Little Palm cafe/bar that served the pool and great courtyard bar as well. The thoughful glasses and carafe for filtered water along with ice was also a nice touch in the rooms.
Location is great. Pool is tiny and freezing. Several cute places to sit or take pics but service and amenities have taken a major back seat to aesthetics.
This hotel was absolutely perfect for our girls trip! It is in walking distance of absolutely everything. The restaurant/bar and coffee shop on site were so convenient. Would definitely stay here again.
Great experience at the Ryder. First time in Charleston and you could not beat the location. We could walk to everything we wanted to see. The property is so cute and the staff were friendly and accommodating.
