The Holiday Inn Charleston Riverview is a 14-story circular high-rise hotel on the banks of the Ashley River and two miles from downtown Charleston. The location is convenient for playing golf and enjoying the area's beaches, parks, and recreational facilities. Located on the hotel's top floor, the Harborview Restaurant and High Spirits Lounge boast panoramic views. The restaurant's lunch buffet and Sunday brunch are local favorites--Southern cuisine and Low Country specialties are the order of the day. Every Friday and Saturday night, a DJ spins dance music at the lounge. The hotel also offers a seasonal outdoor pool and sundeck, fitness room, guest laundry facilities, ample free parking, and a courtesy shuttle to downtown. Each comfortable and tastefully decorated guest room has a view of the Ashley River or Charleston. The room amenities include cable TV, Nintendo, hairdryers, irons and ironing boards, dataports, and coffeemakers.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable. And it was very easy to get where we were going in Charleston. Definately will stay here again.
The room was up-to-date and clean!! That and the cost are the BIGGEST things for me; there was Internet service, the customer service was excellent, etc. The only little thing was that the back top of the toilet bowl was very dirty from the previous guests. When I asked that it be cleaned, I know they tried, but they obviously didn't see the mess--we cleaned it ourselves. The other thing is that there were 4 of us in the room and they kept giving us only 3 towels. I had to ask for more each night. But it was worth the stay there because the location to all sides of Charleston was great and the hotel was nice. I would definitely stay there again! The other nice thing is that the hotel provided copies of directions addresses and phone numbers of local theaters and attractions. VERY helpful.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The free shuttle into town is such a perk but only runs every two hours. A shuttle every hour seems doable and would be more useful. We paid extra for the view but between the dirty windows and the parking lot floodlights aimed into our room, it was not worth the extra fee. Also, this hotel sits essentially on the median strip of US 17. If you are bothered by traffic noise, ask for a high floor although non-smoking rooms may all be on low floors.
I was hesitant to reserve this hotel based on many of the negative reviews but decided to try it because of its location right on route 17. Am I glad I did! Wonderful room, with a view of the harbor and city and the sunrise, very clean and fresh. Staff couldn't have been nicer, luckily we could get into the room a couple of hours earlier than usual. Bathrooms are small, but larger than a cruise ship's! Harbor View Restaurant was very good, with a pleasant staff and good service. Not as pricey as many of the restaurant's in Charleston. We took the complimentary bus into Historic Charleston and it was terrific. Dropped us off and picked us up on time. We didn't have to worry about looking for, or paying for, parking downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed the time and will definitely go there again. Maybe we just got very lucky, but worth every minute of my time. Thanks AARP and online travel for your suggestions!
Went with the family for a holiday trip and the hotel exceeded my expectations based on some of the reviews i had read before booking. It is a fairly old hotel but well maintained. Our room was very clean - no complaints here. Staff was courteous and helpful. Just across from Charleston and the historic district made it very convenient but pay attention to the road signs going to and returning from Charleston or you might be in for a longer ride than you expected.
Location is great. Views are not exactly that exciting unless you are at the restaraunt... we paid for view rooms but were put on the 3rd floor and facing the parking lot. Not much of a view there. Bathrooms are exceptionally small, but worse are the beds... when travelocity says 2 beds there is a reason they are not clarifying -- they offer 2 very small double beds. I should also mention that while it appears they are trying to keep the hotel clean, it is getting rather old so the tile in the bathroom is gross and the drapery in the rooms is falling apart, not to mention pretty gross just thinking about how long it has been there... The breakfast (not included in your stay) was prepared very well, great variety on the menu, but service could not have been slower. We at breakfast there 2 days and it took FOREVER so we opted out the 3rd day. Overall, I have stayed in Charleston 3 times and would not stay at this hotel again, I have stayed in better for about the same price. Sorry, but I really wish some of the other reviews were as blunt or I would not have booked here myself.
