Very cute mid century decor, easy vibe, walkable area, and close to lots of things to do. We enjoyed the hotel as a whole, but didn’t appreciate being out in a smaller room with a smaller bed when we reserved a certain style king room. The staff was kind and very helpful. The pool was a nice and cozy (but still trendy) surprise.

The location was excellent and the facility was in excellent condition and very clean. Our room was very good and no complaints. However, the resort charge for older people is a ripoff as we did not participate in any of the activities or facilities. There should be an option for this. The complimentary coffee was okay if you are a coffee drinker but we are not and the pastries were not first class as I would have expected better pastries in a facility like the Ryder.

Ryder informed us at check in that we were moved to another property. No advance notice. However, the property we were moved to is excellent— Charleston Place.

Good Afternoon Darla, I would like to sincerely apologize for having to move you to another hotel, unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we did not have a room available to you. I am grateful you were able to enjoy your night at The Charleston Place due to this. Please reach out to any member of our Leadership Team when you are ready to visit Charleston again so we can take care of you.
