Great Location
Pros:

Wonderful location, and management does a great job doing what the can for guests.
They also offer umbrellas for daily use for those rainy days in Charleston.
The location is ideal, so centrally located with easy access to so many restaurants and shops. The rooms are on the smaller side, but location makes it worth it.

Friendly and Helpful
Pros:

All staff has been super helpful. The most notable have been the valet guys out front that go beyond pulling up the cars. Seamus and Mark are superb. They have made several item runs for me to and from car and are fast! Bellman was also fantastic.

The Renaissance
Pros:

Our family had the most wonderful experience at The Renaissance hotel for our spring break. The hotel was beautiful and clean. The staff (shoutout to Richard at the front door!) was so kind and helpful. The location of the hotel is centrally located and walking distance to shopping, food, historical sites, etc. We will definitely return.

Pampered and relaxed
Pros:

I recently stayed at the The Lindy Renaissance Charleston Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect for exploring historic Charleston — everything is within easy walking distance.

What really made the stay special were the staff. Richard the bellman gave us a warm welcome and was incredibly helpful with luggage and local tips. Dana the Navigator/concierge was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great recommendations that made our trip even better.

Comfortable rooms, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. I’d absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful location, FANTASTIC STAFF
Pros:

Staff here is fabulous! I’m a former Marriott employee and we have been Marriott vacation club owners for over 20 years. We were very impressed with the people at this property! Navigator Dana Good contacted us before the visit and provided a wealth of information and got our requests for room type, location, and events logged. Tommy in the restaurant gave his insights on itinerary plans and helped pick perfect Charleston breakfasts every morning

Bed was great, room was clean. I did notice that the maintenance lags a little below usual Marriott standards. The shower tile in 503 needs to be re-tiled and whoever touched up the paint left paint chips and debris under the vanity. Toilet seat is crooked. These are not things that materially impacted our stay, but they are signs that standards have slipped since change of ownership.

I had a wonderful experience at The Lindy Hotel - amazing customer service!
Pros:

I had a wonderful experience at The Lindy Hotel. The facility is exceptionally clean and well maintained, which immediately made a great impression. I also loved the thoughtful touches—especially the Starbucks coffee in the rooms, the wide range of food options in the café, and the inviting atmosphere of the bar area.

What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the customer service. I’m in town for an important work conference and unfortunately left my packet of assessments and preparation materials at home. Eddie at the front desk went above and beyond—he quickly made copies of everything I needed and even printed a second set “just in case.” That level of attentiveness and care is rare these days.

I highly recommend The Lindy Hotel and would absolutely stay here again.

Brent and Brian
Pros:

We stayed at the lindy last minute after our flight home from Boston was canceled. We arrived after a 6 hour drive from Florida and were immediately greeted by two amazing guys at valet, Brian and Brent. They were so courteous and helpful both upon our arrival and departure. They both went above and beyond for us, between helping with luggage and offering suggestions for dinner and things to do with kids in the area.

A wonderful time at the Lindy Renaissancel
Pros:

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Mark, the valet was extremely nice and helpful getting our car and getting our bags moved around. Dana, the concierge, had excellent suggestions for meals and sites - 167Raw and The Charleston Museum, fyi - very helpful. Would definitely go back.

Choose another Brand and Hotel
Pros:

We are Titanium Marriott members- which means we have stayed at a lot of Marriotts. I do believe the brand itself is going downhill. I'll start with the positive. The lobby of the hotel is beautiful and the location was perfect! Restaurant was nice and the small cafe was very nice. That's where it positive begins and ends.
Horrible Service: It started off with a bait and switch with our room. We had paid for 1 room type (one of the highest room types if not highest) and I have requested in my app high floor and got a completely different one- a much less expensive one. The front desk did not mention at check in nor was the difference refunded. As one of the brands top status members I do have certain expectations. I get the room I paid for and I am not put in one of the worst rooms in the building- that is right next to a conference room where at 6:30am food service, employees, guests, etc are congregating outside my room. We arrived late due to a late flight and an early college tour the next morning so arguing with the front desk at 11pm was not happening. When I did approach the front desk the next morning I was given points for my troubles.
The Room- Needs updating! It is extremely dark. Being on the second floor there was no natural light due to buildings all around. The lamps were on a permanent dim setting. There are no working outlets near the bed so charging devices near the bed was not an option. The room felt like a holiday inn room with a boutique Marriott lobby and price. Choose one of the many other boutique hotels in the area and skip this one!

Hip, Tasty, Convenient!
Pros:

The Lindy was a great home while we visited Charleston. Dana was a fabulous concierge and really made our stay with her smiles, freebies and interactions with our baby! Having a taste of chef Vivian Howard right there was also extra special! The location is close to city market and king street shopping which made it even better!!! The daily protein bombs were a fantastic addition!

We will definitely be back!
Pros:

Great location in the heart of the shopping district of lower King Street. Our room was well stocked and clean. Everyone made us feel welcome from the moment we pulled up. Staff went out of their way to great my daughter and make her feel welcome from the beginning. Upon finding out we were celebrating her 5th birthday, they showered her with attention, treats, and special recommendations for how to spend her birthday. The bellhop, Mark, even delivered her a bouquet of suckers. The restaurant on location is superb!

Perfect location
Pros:

We only stayed a night because of some winter weather, but I wish we could have stayed longer. The room was so quiet, even a block off King St, but also right in the middle of everything. Room service was the best I've had in recent memory. We even received a complimentary upgrade, unasked for (we'd booked two doubles, so it wasn't super exciting, but still very much appreciated). Looking forward to another chance to stay!
