It was nice and friendly staff.
Pros:

The breakfast was good and the staff was very friendly.

Cons:

We paid for a balcony room with a view but it was blocked off so there was no view at all.

Wouldn't stay here again.
Pros:

the location was great and in the center of everything.

Cons:

floors were dirty, sheets were super thin, no mattress protector, pillows were awful, shower head was broken, mattress was ok. When I asked them about the mattress protector I was told that it is standard for LUXURY hotels. If you are paying luxury prices, luxury items should be provided. I pulled the sheets back on the bed and you could see the sweat stains from previous guests. So gross!

Unreasonable and inconsistent policy
Pros:

Our flight from New York was canceled due to severe weather, with no alternative flights available for four days. The Ryder Hotel refused both a refund and the option to apply the stay to a future date, forcing us to lose one night. Meanwhile, another party we were traveling with—who contacted the hotel slightly earlier—was allowed to rebook without losing any money. The inconsistency and lack of flexibility were extremely disappointing.

10/10 Experience!
Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at the Ryder Hotel during our weekend trip to Charleston! From check in to check out, everything went completely smooth. Our room was clean and comfortable. The whole aesthetic of the hotel is unmatched! We loved getting food and drinks at the hotel’s restaurant “The Little Palm” - our server, Miranda, was extremely kind and attentive, and was more than accommodating to us. We could not recommend this hotel and restaurant more! Can’t wait to come back again!

Repeated customer!
Pros:

My fiancé and I stayed at the Ryder Hotel in Charleston. We had no plans for our few days here. We walked down to the hotel bar, The Little Palm, and we absolutely loved it. The vibes, atmosphere, and decor were absolutely amazing. Their drinks were soooooo good. Eric and Will made us incredible cocktails. We ordered espresso martinis and a few special cocktails. We came back every night during our stay here. 10/10 recommend!
