Pros:

Great location! Our room had a view of a beautiful water fountain with the Charleston Bay as a backdrop. Easy walking distance to many historic sites with plenty of nearby restaurants to choose from. Particularly liked the balcony off our room. Plus the hotel has a great rooftop terrace for a continental breakfast or some wine and cheese. We really liked the "room service" option of a large selection Continental breakfast, Stay here again? ABSOLUTELY!
(PS: Bonus- A block away from the East Bay Meeting House where you can have the best Berry Crepe that you will ever, ever eat!)

Cons:

It would be a good addition to furnish some outdoor chairs for the balcony and perhaps a mechanism to keep open the balcony doors ? (We improvised with the room chairs but it would be nice if the balcony had a couple of small chairs separately.)

Absolutely wonderful stay! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The complimentary breakfasts, wine and cheese hours, cookies, candy dispensers, drink carts, and bottled water were the chefs kiss! Loved the location! Close to everything and felt very safe. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful Inn
Pros:

Highly recommend HarbourView Inn for its location, cleanliness and professionalism of all staff. Had a king balconette room that overlooked harbor which was absolutely beautiful. Breakfast is ordered each evening and delivered to location and time of choice each morning. There is wine and cheese reception each afternoon at 5:00 followed by milk and fresh baked cookies at 9:00 each evening. Comfortable lounge area offers coffees, teas, waters, ice tea 24/7. We also enjoyed the rooftop terrace which was very relaxing. Lots of restaurants, shopping, site-seeing within walking distance so no car is needed. We taxied from airport then ubered back to airport. Cost about the same. Enjoyed carriage tour which provided a wealth of history plus dining at Magnolias and Griffins which were both around the corner. A wonderful place to stay!

Harbour View Inn
Pros:

This was my first visit to the Harbour View
Inn and I can’t recommend it enough! We were greeted by Kyle the valet who helped us with our luggage and welcomed us to the Inn. From the first moment you step into the Inn with its winding staircase and comfortable living room atmosphere you are hooked. We were greeted by a very funny and helpful front desk person Doug who went out of his way to get us the perfect room. Kaylee made sure we understood all of the amenities available in the Inn and was always there to answer questions. Wine and cheese were served every night at 5:00PM and the most delicious chocolate chip cookies at 7:00 made by Noah and served with ice cold milk! As coffee junkies we were happy with their coffee bar available all day long along with an assortment of flavored juices. They go out of their way to make you feel at home. My husband and I highly recommend it. You won’t be sorry!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Charleston Stay We'd Book Again
Pros:

We had such a wonderful stay at HarbourView Inn. The location couldn't have been better. We were able to walk to so many of Charleston's best restaurants, shops, and waterfront spots, which meant we parked the car and enjoyed the city on foot.

Our room was beautiful, comfortable, and incredibly quiet despite overlooking the waterfront fountain with lots of people. The bed was one of those that makes you want to hit snooze just one more time, and we loved starting the morning with breakfast in bed while reading an actual newspaper. It felt like such a simple luxury.

The room also included a Dohm white noise machine that we LOVED!

One of our favorite parts of the stay was all of the thoughtful extras. The afternoon wine and cheese reception was a nice way to unwind after exploring the city, and ending the evening with fresh milk and cookies was a fun touch that made the experience feel even more personal. The breakfast was delivered to our room, and the second morning, to the rooftop terrace- we loved both experiences! Let's not forget 24/7 m&ms and Skittles available on a sidebar in the main reception area! We felt like kids in the best way!

They also have bikes available to pedal around Charleston, see many of the historic locations, and enjoy the seabreeze while riding.

The staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. You can tell they care about making guests feel at home.

If you're looking for a hotel that's within walking distance of Charleston's historic district, offers thoughtful amenities, and makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the city, HarbourView Inn is an easy recommendation. We'd happily stay here again!

Exceptional hotel!! Outstanding staff!!
Pros:

Stay here!!!! I can’t say enough about this amazing hotel!! I have stayed at alot of beautiful grande luxury hotels but they don’t compare to this hotel. What sets this hotel apart is the exceptional service!! Every staff member we encountered was outstanding! We were taken care of and pampered the whole time. Breakfast was brought to our room every morning with a smile! Served on a gorgeous large tray and beautifully presented, we had breakfast in bed many mornings and on our balcony overlooking Charleston Harbor other mornings. You can also get it delivered to the rooftop terrace or the lounge. Early evenings we enjoyed wine and charcuterie in the gorgeous lounge. And headed down to the lobby for freshly baked cookies before bed. The room was clean, lovely, elegant, well appointed and very cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed getting cozy in front of the fireplace with our delicious cookies! Such a treat. The location was perfect! A close walk to everything! The view was gorgeous which we got to enjoy on our full balcony. Valet was wonderful. We never had to wait for our car! They were on the ball!! I don’t know why anyone would stay anywhere but here. I highly recommend the Premium King Balcony room!! Stay here! You will NOT be disappointed!!
