Score breakdown
How the 76/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
85- “The bathroom feels regal and vogue, lined with polished Vermont marble and brass fixtures.” 7
Food
93- “Zero George's onsite restaurant is renowned for its culinary excellence-the pint-sized historic kitchen manages to produce some of the city's biggest flavors, making dinner reservations here (and a spot at The Caviar Bar) highly sought after.” 7
- “By night, the same space transforms into a destination-worthy upscale restaurant helmed by Executive Chef Marc Collins, who has enchanted palates here for more than two decades with his gorgeously plated, refined southern cuisine.” 7
Location
70Noise
92- “Rooms are crisp, minimal, and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows, double-paneled privacy sheers, and state-of-the-art soundproofing.” 7
- “Planters Inn sits on Market Street, where carriages queue by day and bars run late; the Francis Marion faces the King and Calhoun intersection and Marion Square's event schedule. Both are wonderful locations and both are loud ones.” 9

Value
77- “Overall, the property offers good value for money, with a decent free buffet breakfast included in the room rate and on-site amenities including a pool, fitness center, and mini market; however, the hotel is about a 20-minute drive from Charleston's main attractions and therefore it's best suited to guests with their own car.” 12
- “While rates are high, they aren't outrageous for a small, luxury venue with only a handful of spacious rooms.” 12

- “Overall, the property offers good value for money, with a decent free buffet breakfast included in the room rate and on-site amenities including a pool, fitness center, and mini market; however, the hotel is about a 20-minute drive from Charleston's main attractions and therefore it's best suited to guests with their own car.” 12
- “Indigo Inn is a quaint budget-friendly inn situated in the heart of historic Charleston. Its two biggest selling points are its location and reasonable prices, though the 40 small rooms are pleasant enough, with old-fashioned decor items such as four-poster beds, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs.” 12
- “While rates are high, they aren't outrageous for a small, luxury venue with only a handful of spacious rooms.” 12
- “The renovation is unfolding in carefully choreographed phases, allowing guests to experience their beloved hotel while watching its next chapter take shape. Familiar hallmarks remain-the soaring lobby, the iconic chandelier, the rooftop pool-but guest rooms, retail spaces, dining concepts, and wellness offerings are being thoughtfully refreshed.” 7
- “Zero George's onsite restaurant is renowned for its culinary excellence-the pint-sized historic kitchen manages to produce some of the city's biggest flavors, making dinner reservations here (and a spot at The Caviar Bar) highly sought after.” 7
- “By night, the same space transforms into a destination-worthy upscale restaurant helmed by Executive Chef Marc Collins, who has enchanted palates here for more than two decades with his gorgeously plated, refined southern cuisine.” 7
- “In morning light, guests stroll through the gardens to the hotel's carriage house restaurant for an ample, complimentary, cooked-to-order, full-service breakfast.” 7
- “The registration desk and parking valets are helpful (note: there is no self-parking).” 4
- “As for the service, guests say Hotel Bennett's staff is truly stellar.” 10
- “HGVC stays are amazing. 🤗❤️❤️ The rooms are fabulous, the kitchen is great and the service from the staff is great at all locations.” 6
- “Luxurious rooms, fantastic customer service and a great location - recent guests believe Hotel Bennett has it all.” 10
- “Be sure to stop by the concierge desk for thorough assistance planning your Charleston vacation. During our tour, it was clear they are passionate about sharing the city's history, making recommendations tailored to specific interests and pulling a few strings when possible.” 10
- “Welcoming Atmosphere The resort's cozy vibe and helpful staff make it feel like a home away from home for families.” 2
- “Housekeeping is sporadic. They are supposed to do a quick service for the first two days and a linen change on the third day. We never received the linen change, and the fast service is inconsistent.” 4
- “The canopy bed itself is feather soft with Irish linens-it's no wonder staff nicknamed it "the cloud."” 7
- “This quaint, 25-room bed-and-breakfast, housed within a Civil War-era private residence, has an excellent location within the Historic District and competitive rates.” 12
- “Planters Inn has the best location.” 9
- “Wentworth Mansion figures prominently in the elegant but bucolic Harleston neighborhood on the west side of Charleston's historic peninsula, pleasantly detached from the tourist fray.” 7
- “The basement fitness center and the quiet courtyard are nice features, and the historic downtown location is a highlight, but families may want to consider the nearby Embassy Suites, which has a pool and free Wi-Fi.” 12
- “Guests rave that it has the perfect mix of being in a bustling location with a very quiet patio area to retreat to for some reprieve.” 7
- “Luxurious rooms, fantastic customer service and a great location - recent guests believe Hotel Bennett has it all.” 10
- “Not only is Hotel Bennett smack on a park, but it fronts King Street, a major shopping artery. The hotel is within easy walking distance of many restaurants, including Hall's Chophouse, The Grocery, and The Ordinary, plus cocktail bars like Proof, The Belmont, The Cocktail Club, and Felix.” 7
- “This is a top notch, Marriott branded, completely refurbished hotel with all the technological perks you would expect. Better yet, it is situated on a lesser trafficked cross street downtown, so it feels hidden despite being in the center of everything.” 7
- “Prime Location Right in the heart of downtown Charleston, it's the perfect home base for exploring the city's charm.” 2
- “Rooms are crisp, minimal, and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows, double-paneled privacy sheers, and state-of-the-art soundproofing.” 7
- “Planters Inn sits on Market Street, where carriages queue by day and bars run late; the Francis Marion faces the King and Calhoun intersection and Marion Square's event schedule. Both are wonderful locations and both are loud ones.” 9
- “The hotel's 100 suites are neat and inviting, although the decor is quite bland.” 12
- “The hotel's decor is showing signs of wear, though, like nicks on the wood and some peeling paint.” 12
- “Some may find the decor somewhat dated and stuffy, but the hotel has a more luxurious feel than other chain hotels, especially in the lobby, which is bedecked with chandeliers and high archways.” 12
- “The Loutrel's "wow factor" is its rooftop terrace, cresting the mature treeline of Charleston's historic French Quarter.” 7
- “My wife and I stayed in a two-bedroom unit (her cousin had to cancel) that is spectacular.” 4
- “The 170 rooms of this former 19th-century railroad warehouse aren't ultra luxurious, but they're quaint, clean, and comfortable, with warm-colored walls, soft lighting, and mahogany furniture.” 12
- “The bathroom feels regal and vogue, lined with polished Vermont marble and brass fixtures.” 7
