What guests think

Hampton Inn Charleston-Historic District earns consistent praise for its walkable, central location by the Visitor Center and Music Hall, and for friendly, accommodating staff, while feedback on room condition, odors, and HVAC performance is more mixed.

Guests often enjoy the included breakfast, the pool and courtyard, and pet-friendly policies. Common drawbacks include dated furnishings, occasional musty smells, inconsistent housekeeping, a lack of refrigerators or microwaves in many rooms, and extra-cost parking. Expect a convenient base with warm service and basic, aging rooms.

Parking is expensive-41$ per day. The fridge in our room was right next to the door and only opened half way. The pool was really chlorinated so you could not really swim and open your eyes. Not enough lounge chairs.

Hotel is in an old building but it well kept. Staff on hand 24 hours a day to assist with anything you need and they respond within minutes. Parking garage is extra but really convenient. Great location for just about everything. The only downside for our visit was a huge tour bus/trailer was parked in the very tight "parking lot" and they yelled at hotel guests as though we were the ones in their way. Otherwise we recommend this hotel.

Hotel is in good walkable location near King street and we enjoyed Charleston very much! The hotel itself looks and smells like carpets should be updated a while ago. There was a stale smell in our room and no refrigerator to keep our drinks cold. Also breakfast, in comparison to other hotels, wasn’t great. Getting in and out from the hotel garage was confusing if you are handicapped, we have received three different informations and still got stuck at the gate. As a long time member of this hotel chain, this one was the worse.

Our room smells like Mold and musty. We tried to be transferred to a different room but was told no availability and front desk lady is not friendly at all. We stayed 3 nights but they were not able to even accommodate us to transfer to a different room the next day. My BF is highly allergic to mold and he had hard time breathing and we discussed that with them but they didn't seem to care.

The continental breakfast was good, the eggs on the first day we were there were not good at all, by the 3rd day, they got a little better, but not as good as they should be! Overall, I would stay there again, if they have refrigerators in the rooms!

Love the location. Friendly staff. Bed was comfortable. Only problem is that the HVAC system needed maintenance as it would not warm the room (61 degrees) when we first arrived. The maintenance man was prompt and in a few minutes fixed the problem. However, it seems the system is old as it took much longer than usual for the system to reach minor setting changes. Yet, we'll be back.

The hotel was a rather typical Hampton Inn but the location is superb if your intention is to be near King Street, the transit center, restaurants, sights, etc. Breakfast was good and there were plenty of items to choose from. The front desk personnel as well as the travel desk person(s) were all top notch. Where it fell down a little was in several areas. First, the hotel is a bit shopworn and in need of some sprucing up: carpeting, elevators, paint. Next the bed was okay but not great. Next, the HVAC in our room was of an older model and had to be switched to heat by Hampton staff. This is after a night of cooler room temperatures. And finally, there was no refrigerator in our room which was somewhat out of the ordinary for Hampton. This was an inconvenience but we managed because there was an ice maker just down the hall and we brought our own cooler. Still...

We stayed here one night while passing through Charleston. Location was perfect for exploring the city, walkable to restaurants, shops, and waterfront area. Family enjoyed the included breakfast. Air conditioning in room was not functioning properly, huge difference in temperature between hallways and room. No matter what we set the thermostat, it wouldn’t cool. Made for a miserable night’s sleep. Be aware this is a pet friendly hotel. I think because the room was so warm it made the dog smell in our room worse, we even considered going to a local store for air freshener. Overall OK spot for one night, couldn’t have stayed any more though.

Then tech decides to turn off the a/c as a fix. Couldnt sleep the 2nd to final night and decided ti check out early rather than spens another night in a room with a faulty a/c unit

And right in the free trolley path, so easy to get around town. Hotel was clean and well appointed, we enjoyed free breakfast and the pool & outdoor seating area. The staff was amazingly helpful and friendly! Note- parking in Charleston is difficult but there is a garage adjacent to hotel for $41/night, even after checking out at 11am we left car all day while we saw sights.

Shower curtain ripped, and there were small holes in the ceiling.
