Hospitality at its best.
Pros:

This is not your typical Residence Inn. The décor is so inviting and restful. There was artwork all over the resort. The cleanliness was the best I have ever seen in a Residence Inn. The staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also better than standard Residence Inn including Mimosas. What a great place to stay!!! They know how to do first class hospitality!

Great location on Kiawah. Centrally located near the beach, shopping and some good restaurants
Pros:

Beautiful small bouquet hotel located at Kiawah Island. Nice but smallish heated pool. No restaurants on site to speak of but there are 3-4 good restaurants within 3 minutes walk that are great to good. Can’t tell this is a Marriott property from the signage which is actually a good thing. A great place to relax and enjoy the sea islands: Kiawah, Seabrook, John’s Island. I think you will be pleased.

Barely dog friendly
Pros:

My husband had to be in Charleston for a meeting, so we decided to make a trip of it and come to Kiawah as it has been a destination we’ve wanted to visit for a while. It was important for us that the hotel was dog friendly as we had to travel with our Boston Terrier.

The location of the hotel is ideal and the hotel itself is beautiful. The price was expensive at over $500 per night, but we splurged because it was dog friendly.

However, we were disappointed to learn that although they’ve advertised themselves as dog friendly, only the hotel room is dog friendly. We were not allowed to bring our dog anywhere else on the property, so we missed out on getting to experience the hotel amenities, which was why we booked this hotel. We were told that dogs weren’t allowed on the beach shuttle, nor in the pool area, the lobby or patio.

A little jewel on Kiawah Island
Pros:

We were incredibly pleased with our stay at the Andell Inn. The service was impeccable, the room well-appointed and the location awesome. The little town is like a Hallmark movie at night! The staff truly embody what you would hope for in terms of southern hospitality. They were all so kind and accommodating. The morning breakfasts were lovely and the Porch bar was a great place to wind down the evening with a glass of wine and an alligator search. Great small gym onsite as well. Highly recommend this place - it even smells really amazing!

It's the entire package!
Pros:

This is simply a phenomenal hotel. The pictures online do not do this property justice because it's a whole vibe. Yes, it is absolutely gorgeous from the furnishings, accessories, artwork, common areas. They are all amazingly comfortable and welcoming. However, it is the people working there that complete the "feel good" vibe. William, the district manager and Marissa, the general manager are very good at keeping the clientele happy, and the entire staff are wonderfully friendly and cheerful. Everyone goes above and beyond to make you stay memorable. I will recommend this hotel to everyone and hope to be back soon!

Stellar Stay
Pros:

When you travel a lot you just know…you walk through those double doors and are transported into a stunning and serene setting. Your check in is flawless and your beautiful and ultra comfy room with a private balcony overlooking the pool sets the scene for the ultimate in relaxation. Everything is spotless and ready.
The hotel is beautifully decorated, the breakfast is like none other at a hotel chain! Every member of staff your encounter are beyond friendly and professional. They are all going beyond their job!
Step across the street to Freshfields Village where the Harris Teeter and restaurants have just what you need.
All you have to do is relax, take a drive to the beach or go for a walk or bike ride. Enjoy your stay - you will wish you were staying longer!

Nice, stylish property - would return
Pros:

Stylish and nice property a short walk from shops and restaurants at Freshfields Village. Room and hotel was clean and nice but my room had some signs of wear and tear. I was not there long, less than 24 hours, but came away impressed and would return. Super cool photos throughout the property.

Anniversary Hotel
Pros:

We were generally impressed with the Andell Inn, especially being a Residence Inn. The service was very good, the location really good and the accommodations excellent, but we stayed in the Presidential Suite. Remember: Anniversary... :)
We had a very nice time, we'd stay again next time in Charleston!
