Harbourview Inn

Nice sized room with good view and 2 queen beds. Seeing dolphins swimming in harbour from room. Excellent location. Enjoyed the afternoon wine and cheese and evening cookies.

The lift was out of order.

The construction project across the street is ongoing on the harbor side of the building. If you upgrade to a harbor view you will be watching construction 24-7. This went on all night for 2 nights and all day each day including Sunday. Sleep was difficult and we spent as much time as possible out of the room. We were told by the staff before arrival that the project was done and was only happening internally at the new hotel but that was not the case. The noise also affects the rooftop which would have been lovely to enjoy without the deafening noise.

As a solo traveler, I arrived into Charleston (a new city for me) in the evening and it was wonderful to walk into the warm and welcoming lobby. There were guests lingering over the wine and cheese that the hotel serves which added to the nice atmosphere. The front desk staff was efficient and friendly, making sure that I knew about the amenities and local spots for dinner while getting me to my room quickly. The bed was incredibly comfortable with quality linens, the room and bathroom spacious, and it was pleasantly quiet. They even had a white noise machine which was a nice touch. They serve a solid breakfast with warm pastries and good coffee -- and the kitchen crew is very attentive too! Pro tip: As breakfast is served in an atrium on the first floor, I think you'd want to request a room away from that spot for more privacy / quiet. I'd definitely stay there again and recommend it to my friends. All in all, the hospitality felt generous and genuine. Now I just wish that I could recreate that bed experience at my house!

We stayed here just for a night to check out College of Charleston. Staff were extremely attentive, we appreciated the wine and cheese hour and my son loved the cookies! The room was spacious with beautiful linens and the towels were amazing. The attention to detail was top notch. And the location was perfect. We will be back!

We were so well-taken care of here we called it Home. The personnel provided impeccable service at all turns. The valet, the evening wine and cheese, the cookies….all perks. The room was beautiful, cozy, elegant, well-stocked. The location cannot be beat. We will return. Despite the rainy winter photo, the view is outstanding.

Location!

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Staff was amazing both welcoming and informative. Lots of great extra happy hour, story teller, milk and cookies, umbrellas and bicycles.

The location was perfect for walking, staff was efficient and friendly, the wine reception in the cozy lobby was fun, and the bedtime cookies were a nice touch. The breakfast, brought to the room, was very good, as was the coffee, which was always fresh and available.

There were no negatives.

The Harbourview Inn is a highly decorated hotel located on Vendue Range, just off E Bay Street in one of the nicest and most convenient areas of the Charleston French Quarter just a few blocks from Charleston Market and plenty of great restaurants. The hotel is small, but lovely. The hotel is on the corner with a view of the Cooper River from some areas of the hotel. construction. Room was large and lovely. Staff of every kind was courteous and helpful. The hotel provides lots of food included in the proice of one's room. An upscale breakfast is available every morning in the common areas. The breakfast was quite good and adequate for all but the hardiest of diners. In addition, wine, cheese and snacks are available by the fireplace in the lobby for an hour each late afternoon, and milk and cookies are available for an hour each evening. Coffee, tea, flavored water, games, bikes, etc are available pretty much all the time. The worst experience was local construction that blocked off the local roads to our vehicle and made for some road noise outside of our room. Overall, a terrific hotel. Would certainly stay here again.
