Overlooking the harbor, this historic district inn is beautifully decorated in a contemporary style. More than half of the rooms offer water views, some have balconies and operational fireplaces. Refreshments are provided all day, with cookies and milk capping off the nighttime snack.
Smoke free premises. 52 units. 4 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).
Pros: Location, location, location. This place has it! Really enjoyed breakfast on the rooftop and the great views.
Cons: I think I would bring my own pillow next time.

Pros: We loved the flexibility of having breakfast in our room or the Atrium or Roof. The front desk was very helpful with tour information. I liked the valet service which was very prompt and they took good care of our vehicle.
Cons: When we finished a tour because of the heat wanted to return to our room for a nap. On one occasion it was before 3 PM and we were hoping housekeeping had finished with our room so we could take an un-interrupted nap.

Pros: personnel were friendly and willing to help
with directions or suggestions.
Cons: the showers were strictly HOT once the small
amount of cold water that was in the pipes had been used. With 95+ temps, a HOT
shower is not very refreshing. The options for breakfast did not change day by day, after 5 mornings of the same options.......
The smell of sewage on the street. Was told by Inn personnel, that it was common due to heavy rain and high tide, that the sewers back up.

Cons: There were two queen-size beds. One of them squeaked HORRIBLY so that everyone in the room was unable to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, watching television from the beds was frustrating since the posts of the 4-posters blocked the view.

Pros: Enjoyed that they brought the breakfast to your door. Location was nice.
Cons: The mold in the bathroom ceiling was disgusting and unexpected. The water spout's lever didn't lift easily, thought it might break off. They came into our room for a turn down service but we were unaware they did that. Which made us feel like our privacy was violated because we had our clothes and such out and the room and they moved it. No view. And it doesn't look like any room opens to a balcony although one is represented in the booking review. The website made it look like something it wasn't.

Cons: My husband and I both like firm mattresses so the memory foam was a little soft for us. Also we had a smell of mildew in our room which seemed to be coming from the shower. My husband has had an allergic reaction to it and now feels terrible. I am disappointed because I planned a special trip for his 60th birthday.

Pros: The room was beautiful and very well cleaned. Bedding was very nice and comfortable.
Cons: There are not many amenities to be a hotel in the same price category as say a Belmond hotel. No spa, pool, restaurants, bar, or any shops on site. On our first night our AC stopped working. Granted this is Charleston in June. Very hot! We were basically offered a fan because there is not a maintenance person on staff 24/7. We were expected to wait until 10am the following day to have our AC repaired. I know things happen but I expected more from a $400 per night hotel. Fortunately after my boyfriend expressed how unacceptable that was, it was later discovered that the AC breaker tripped and was an easy fix. Had he not made a fuss, we would've sat in a hot room all night over a tripped breaker. If I pay almost $1000 for a 2 night stay (including taxes and valet) I just expect more. Staff was somewhat rude, not very warm or inviting, and very uninformative. If you are looking for stellar service and an abundance of amenities do not stay here.

Pros: The staff Michael W. and Ashley were fantastic! For whatever reason my reservation on Booking.com didn't interface with Harborview's reservation system. So we arrived with a booking.com confirmation but no room to be in. When I showed Michael W. my reservation confirmation from Booking.com for two nights in a King harborview room and that it was our 25th anniverary celebration, he quickly went to work to see what he could do. We spent our first night in a King bed, not harbor view but a beautiful room, and the next day they took care of moving us to the King Harborview Suite which was a step above what our original reservation was for. We also were given a gift certificate to a fantastic restaurant, High Cotton, and waived our valet parking fee. We also received bottle of champagne. Michael W. and Ashley and the valet staff were fantastic and showed how much they and Harborview values customer service!! We would recommend Harborview Inn and definitely will return at some time in the near future!

Pros: Hotel very clean, staff very friendly and personable. Stayed for my anniversary and staff surprised us with a free bottle of wine in our room while we were out. Nice touch. Great views and quiet.
Cons: There was a lack of attention to detail in the room – half the lights didn't work; the door handle to the bathroom kept falling off; all the paintings on the wall were crooked. All this stuff should be right for the money you are paying at this place. The room was also a bit grubby and the furniture looked old and worn and a little dirty – the chairs need upholstery cleaned and the carpet needs steam cleaning.

We replied yes. The lady had a eastern Europe accent. Well after breakfast we returned around 10:00 and the same lady had cleaned our room and threw out our desert we had saved and some of my wife toiletry. So we had planned to just relax to noon before leaving. However we didn't.
