Exceptional stay!
Pros:

Location was perfect for a first time visit! Close walk to fab dining and cocktails. Right across the street from Waterfront park.No onsite bar/dining but at the hotel itself they offered great options for breakfast; wine & charcuterie @ 5! Iced tea, lemonade and infused water available all day as well as bottled water. Even a M&M and Skittles bar. Staff were wonderful and always friendly. Highly recommend tho you may pay a bit more, it’s worth it for location and the property itself💜

Cons:

Nothing that comes to mind
Unfortunate that a new hotel went up right across the street blocking former waterfront views

Beautiful place but lacking in cleaning room
Pros:

Its location to every place you wanted to go

Cons:

The cleaning lady never cleaned the floor in bathroom, never cleaned the tub (I put something on the edge of tub) she never saw it and it was there when we got back later that day. Never changed our bed sheets and never vacuumed the room.

Excellent location and lovely extras make the stay very enjoyable
Pros:

Excellent location, extras on offer such as free breakfast, wine and nibbles happy hour, free bottle water

Cons:

Would have been nice to have a proper bar! You can order drinks to your room or communal areas but a bar would have been better and a restaurant if you didn’t want to eat out.

Great location. Really nice staff. It’s the actual facility that needs severe upgrade. Kind of felt like we were staying
Pros:

The staff was super friendly and helpful in the location was perfect

Cons:

The building is old. The front entryway had to be kind of guarded by security… Which would really just the valets. There is no open lobby inviting you in. Up a flight of stairs is where the main desk and very small lobby sitting area were. Not perfect if you would like some space from the other guests. It was also challenging to initially check in because those front doors are locked unless you have a room key which of course if you haven’t checked in yet, you will not have yet.

Great Experience
Pros:

Highly recommend the HarbourView Inn. We were there for four nights in April and were impressed with the accommodations and customer service. Our room was lean and very spacious with nice decor. We had two queen beds which were extremely comfortable. We like a firmer mattress and have found that nearly every hotel we stay in has very soft mattresses. Our back are usually killing us after a couple of nights. The mattresses at the HVI were firm but not hard. We were so happy! The room service breakfasts were brought on time and were delicious. We needed a driver for the day to take us to a couple of plantations. Kierra at the front desk did a great job of finding us a lovely man to be our driver. Everyone we spoke with at the hotel was friendly and helpful. Also, love the candy bar set up in the lounge and the freshly-baked cookies at the front desk. Highly recommend!!

Happy in Charleston
Pros:

We had the best experience last week at the Harbourview Inn. All because of Jodi, from the phone call to book the room to the wonderful service we received when we arrived. She is so kind and welcoming you feel right at home. The hotel is beautiful! Our room was spacious, clean and beautiful!! The hotel is in a great location for walking all over town. They have valet parking and Colin was the best!! So kind and helpful, he is an asset to the hotel. Can’t wait to return.

Charleston at its best!!
Pros:

Loved every minute of our stay at the HarbourView Inn. The location is perfect and walkable to shopping, dining and the beautiful neighborhoods South of Broad. Our room in the Historic Wing was lovely. The complimentary breakfast, wine & cheese and bedtime cookies were a treat. The rooftop terrace is a relaxing spot with stunning views. And the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special- especially Kierra. We will be back!
