“Old Charm in the historic section”

This is an old historical hotel located adjacent to a park where there is a farmer's market. I was intrigued from the get go- I wanted to avoid a corperate or modern hotel. It is pink. The workers are professional, personal and helpful. They all like each other (seemingly) and work well together. There is a fountian in the middle. The breakfast is like no other complimentary breakfast- omlettes made ot order- fresh fruit, sausage and grits. There is a courtyard to eat in- the pool is surrounded by cedar and pine trees. The rooms are older dark green carpet, slightly worn furniture- but excellent old drawings of Native Americans, Colonists, and enslaved people, with old maps deliniating historical changes- sale of land, people, etc. They have an apertivo hour with 2 complimentary drink coupons and light snacks. Everyone there is friendly. not for people that don't like old character of older designed buildings. They give away bottles of water. It is old school- in a way that is lost in corperate culture- I realize this is a Hilton, but behaves like a privately run hotel.

Embassy Suites in the Historic District is spacious, historic and well located. Our room had a bedroom with two double beds, a small kitchen area with a microwave, refrigerator and sink. The building formerly served as the campus for The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina with guest rooms surrounding the former parade ground. Do not miss the building history cards in the lobby. It is situated a short walk from parks, restaurants, shopping and the Visitors’ Center at which the staff provides information and sells tickets to tourists’ venues. The hotel staff is helpful and personable. Valet parking attendants, especially Will, remembered us and did all they could to make our stay enjoyable. The nightly Happy Hours generated a sense f community among the guests whose paths crossed during our journey. Embassy Suites is our first choice for any return to Charleston.

“Good location, comfortable stay”

Very convenient location, walking distance to most of the city historical attractions; very friendly and attentive personnel; clean; free breakfast and afternoon 'happy hour'; the only downside - as most travelers put in their comments - rooms are dated. But not bad and if you care about not spending a fortune on stay and location is the matter - it is a good choice. Beds are comfortable, rooms spacious, no complaints here. We had a very comfortable and nice stay.

We love the Embassy suites brand. We always prioritize staying at their locations. Nothing beats the breakfast. Comfortable beds, great facilities, well appointed public spaces. As nice as the folks were who worked at the Embassy suites in Charleston, the physical hotel fell far short of our expectations. From the outside, it is a pretty cool spot. It originally served as the South Carolina State Arsenal and later became the original home of The Citadel Military. Unfortunately, it looks like very little, was changed between its initial purpose and today. The rugs are very tired and stained and paint is chipping. They can do a really neat thing with it by praying the history of the building forward into the lobby with pictures and documents that would make people quite happy to be staying there. The biggest disappointment was that we went up in a room that had no windows in one of the bedrooms as well as in the living room area. The hotel would do right to make sure upon reservation is explained to para Windows. Many people also said that it was haunted. Not such a problem for us, but we were very disappointed in General by the hotel. I did make a complaint and felt I was not heard in the way I thought I should have been heard. To upper management with Hilton, keep doing your thing. Every other location has been terrific for many years for us. Maybe invest some money in this Charleston location.
