Despite its name, there is no river view from this hotel being several miles from the Ashley River. However, it’s close to Charleston’s medical school and three hospitals, and about 1 ½ miles west of the historic district. Parking is free and guests will receive a permit at check-in. If guests don’t want to drive, a shuttle ($1.25) from a bus stop near the hotel gets into the heart of downtown Charleston in ten minutes. Although the hotel does not have a restaurant, there are several fast-food places within walking distance. This is a good choice for travelers on a budget.
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Visitors who don’t mind staying outside the historic Charleston area may find this hotel satisfactory, but it’s not in a location that encourages strolling around the city past sunset. Accommodations and amenities are fine, and its proximity works best for those coming to the city for medical treatment or just needing an inexpensive place to stay. Convenient bus service and free parking are good features.
