Book a hotel near Rainbow Row, Charleston Historic District

"The resort fee is pretty ridiculous. But, using the fancy pools next door was a treat. Seems priced a little high, given how empty it was."

"great elegant historical hotel in top shape with all you would need across from Marion Square. Staff professional, helpful and thoughtful. "

"I almost don’t want to share this hidden gem. Even though this hotel is small, it has everything you need for a great stay at affordable price. Our room was clean and spacious. Our shower broke and they immediately replaced a new shower head. Beautiful courtyard where my husband watched a game while we sat having drinks by the fireplace and listening to a live steel drum singer. The staff was polite and location couldn’t have been better. We will definitely be staying again. The only con is the small size of the pool which felt like bath water. Otherwise, we had a perfect stay at the Ryder Hotel."

"The hotel is in need of some uplifts - the paint is chipped in the rooms, the carpet is shabby, there were some marks on the wall behind the toilet, etc. The breakfast was great - the evening receptions was great, the staff we met were great but the property is a bit off. "

"My husband and I stayed here our wedding weekend. The hotel itself was beautiful and in a great location. I’m an interior designer so I loved the design. However, the only part that wasn’t particularly great was the staff. I expected that staff would be more friendly and willing to help but the overall vibe we got from the front desk staff was “meh.” It was a little disappointing especially since we tried to be kind to them (we even gave the front desk a few extra meals and leftover wedding cake from our wedding night) and told them we had just gotten married. No one was particularly rude but overall the staff fell short of our expectations. Unfortunately it feels like kindness and happiness aren’t valued as highly or seen as part of doing a good job in the service industry anymore."

"One of the best places we have ever stayed and the staff was wonderful. The room was immaculate and surrounding area was gorgeous!"
