Hotels Near The Williams Mansion in Charleston

The welcome was friendly.. The ambience classy. Nice dining options. Rooms was immaculate and very comfortable. Not a great view, but a nice view, we could look out at the harbor if we stood near the window. We did not use the pool, but it did get a lot of use which we could see from our window. Less superb was the valet service. Efficient but not particularly friendly at $55 per night plus tips. The window in our room needed to be washed. The resort fee included an 8 am yoga class, but looking out at the pool we did not see yoga practitioners there. The wine reception is 3:30 - 4:30, which is an awkward time to get back to the hotel if you are touring. We got back at 4:45 - too late. The location is great. We like Hilton's Curio Collection and this added to our preference for this Hilton category. For a splurge, this hotel is fine. Pricey with the add-ons of the resort fee and the parking, but overall it provides a high-quality experience at the price.

Staff at the front desk was a bit dismissive and parking costs $20/night. Breakfast not included but there’s a restaurant on site. Pros: - great location, close to attractions, restaurants, shops - Wifi works well - rooms are relatively clean however I found a few hairs here and there - rooms are spacious enough - Check-in is at 4pm officially but our room was ready at 2pm so we could check in - mini fridge in room - the hotel is nicely furnished and decorated - 24-hour fitness center - 2 complimentary bottles of water - Coffee machine in the room Cons: - staff at the front desk could’ve been friendlier - bed too soft and pillows too thick - A/C didn’t work properly—the room was either ice cold or hot

This is an older property that clearly used to be majestic. Today the frame is there but a lack of maintenance shows. The staff were very good. They also have a 24 hour valet. My room had nice high quality furniture - not the cheap crap see in most hotels today. But the carpets were old and dirty, the paint is worn and cracked, and there was mold in the bathroom. The A/C was ok - not great but ok. The room felt humid. But it was very quiet with no street noise or hallway noise. They serve a decent breakfast. The location on Market St is close enough to the action to explain the rates. If this property was out by the airport it would be $59/night. Overall, if being on Market St is important then it's fine. But if a clean and shiny hotel is important this isn't the place. Bottom line, I'd stay here again if I needed to be in the area. Mostly because of location and staff. Without that I wouldn't return.

Friendly, helpful staff. Enjoyed our stay. Walkable to downtown.

The room was clean and in good shape. My problem was we were not able to close the black out curtains and a bright street light shone in. The room had no view except for the air conditioning units. This disturbed our sleep all night. The food was good but a bit pricey. The service was good and the staff that we met were friendly. Over all I probably would stay here again, but ask for a better room.

I was pleasantly surprised after reading the various reviews on this hotel. We attended a birthday party for a relative. The party was in one of their private rooms with a bartender. The plated food (chicken or salmon) was excellent.) The hotel rooms were clean and in good condition. And, the beds were extremely comfortable. I was really impressed with the handicapped accessible room that we needed for my husband. It was large with a really huge bathroom. The staff was the reason that I gave this hotel a four-star review. They were friendly and readily accessible when we needed information or support. A special thank you to one of the bell captains who brought a wheeled cart to take over forty gift bags down to the party room. Again, good service. Coming from a metropolitan area, I am comfortable giving tips for service. We also enjoyed the hotel restaurant. The menu was large enough with a great breakfast buffet. The food was very tasty and varied. There was made to order omelets included with the brunch. It was the first time that I saw smoked salmon and grits on a breakfast buffet, but it made me happy. We ate a number of lunches at the same restaurant. Their Nicoise salad was excellent, very well priced, with a piece of cooked-to-order tuna. It was beautifully plated and delicious. The drinks from the bar were not over-priced. The cocktails were excellent. We didn't have cars and quickly could have Ubers drive us to different sites. I'd return if in the area.

My family and I liked it very much after staying for one night, so we stayed for another night. The room is big enough, clean and comfortable, there are many guests with pets and children. Sometimes there are pets barking or children running around in the hallway, but overall it is quiet. The whole hotel is small and delicate, elegant everywhere, even the back stairs are clean, covered with thick carpets and perfumed. Simple breakfast buffet.

Based on all the good reviews, I was looking forward to my stay here. However, I was extremely disappointed with this hotel. I didn’t realize how old the hotel is. I thought I was at the wrong location when I pulled into the parking lot. The room assigned to me had a musty smell, the bathroom sink was cracked and both door handles were separating from the bathroom door. The front desk lady offered to move me to another room when I mentioned the issues with the sink and door handles. My main purpose for bringing these issues to the front desk’s attention was to make sure they were aware of preexisting damage to the room so I would not be charged. I found out that they were already aware of these issues, but they are still renting the room as is. The lady at check in was cordial. However, the young lady at checkout needs additional customer service training. She was very rude. She did not smile when I approached her. She simply said “How can I help you?” in a nasty manner. After turning in my keys, she asked me if I wanted a receipt. I said “Yes, please.” She handed me my receipt. I said “Thank you.” She said absolutely nothing. How rude was that? The proper thing would have been to ask me how my stay was, thank me for staying there and to ask me to come again.

This was no doubt at one time a wonderful Inn. Now unfortunately it is showing it’s age and has an air of neglect about it. There were several positives: very spacious accommodations, lovely grounds and easy walk ability to the formal Gardens of Middleton Place, view from our second floor room looked like we were in a tree house elevated along the canopy of the Oaks. This weekend trip was a belated birthday present from my husband and he bought a package. There was a huge, gorgeous flower arrangement in the room along with a cold bottle of Prosecco in the frig. The package included dinner at the Middleto Place restaurant which was lovely. Now for the reason for the 3 stars. This is a very expensive place to go for a weekend but I don’t mind the money if everything is appropriate for the cost. Our first impression when we entered the room was that it smelled strongly of bug spray. And that smell lingered all weekend. But even with that we had a couple infamous Palmetto bugs in various states of death throes and the little inch worms and flying bugs that seemed like fire flies didn’t seem phased by the spray. When we shared this with the desk the response was, well we are in the woods. The windows take up an entire wall and would be stunning if they were cleaned. Again the woods and humidity must make it challenging but for the price I would expect more. The paneling was showing its age as well and the sofa and overstuffed chair. The room was huge and we could have danced but it only had a queen sized bed which looked smaller because of the room size. The mattress sank terribly in the middle and every time one of us moved we ended back up in the middle. A breakfast buffet was included and it was also a bit neglected. On the bright side it looked like they were renovating the unit next to us so hopefully they will return this place to its original glory. I would try it again if I knew it was in an updated room, and during the off season when prices are better.
