It’s a perfectly located hotel. The folks working the desk are so helpful and chipper. The rooms are VERY clean (I’ve been in newer/“nicer” hotels who could take notes…). The building itself feels out of date but everything else is so good that I don’t care even a little bit. Just mentioning it for anyone who needs all the bells and whistles. If you’re looking for nice, clean, safe, centrally located, and reasonably priced, this hotel should be on your list.

Right in the middle of downtown it's a super easy walk to everything, price point is much better than many other hotels and the breakfast was decent, good amount of options rotated out during breakfast. Room was clean and front desk/cleaning staff were both helpful. On a 105° day the pool was stocked with towels and clean. Nice shade cover from the trees and sunny spots.

The Hampton Inn in downtown Charleston is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and conveniently located hotel in the heart of the city. Its location near the corner of John and Meeting Streets makes it easy to enjoy Charleston’s restaurants, shops, attractions, and historic areas. The property is welcoming, well maintained, and consistently provides the dependable experience you expect from a quality hotel. What truly elevates this hotel, however, is Carrie at the front desk. Carrie is one of the most helpful, thorough, thoughtful, and genuinely kind hospitality professionals I have encountered. She consistently goes out of her way to make sure every guest feels welcomed and properly cared for. I have personally watched her interact with many customers, and she treats each person with patience, warmth, professionalism, and close attention to detail. As a Charleston local, I regularly have friends, family members, and business contacts visiting from out of town. I have relied on Carrie many times to help make sure they are well taken care of, and she has handled every situation and request I have brought her way. Her reliability gives me peace of mind because I know I do not have to constantly worry about whether my guests will have a bad experience. Carrie always goes above and beyond to prevent that from happening. She does far more than simply work the front desk. She solves problems, anticipates needs, communicates clearly, and creates the kind of personal experience that guests remember long after they leave. Carrie is a tremendous asset to this Hampton Inn, and the hotel is fortunate to have someone who represents the property with such care and professionalism. The hotel itself deserves five stars, but Carrie is the reason the experience stands out.

The staff were VERY friendly. This is not a harsh review for the staff at all. But, yes my room had a sweaty shoe smell. Oddly specific but thats the only way to describe it. My biggest complaint was the next room over. Ive stayed in several hotels. I dont think Ive ever heard word for word conversations so clearly from the room next door. I felt like they were in the room with me. Which wasnt an issue until they were up at 1-3am. It woke me up both nights. But they weren't being extremely loud. The walls are just that thin. The hotel itself isnt filthy or terrible, just older.

The hotel for the most part was centrally located and the front desk staff was very helpful. We were a bit put off by the manager who got snarky with a front desk rep. The front desk rep is amazing. The hotel had coffee and tea 24/7 which was wonderful. The only problem we had was that we think there may have been bed bugs in one of the beds in the room we stayed in but we were unsure so we did not mention it.

This was a very nice hotel in downtown Charleston. Location was amazing. The only issue we did have as we arrived at 10:30 at night and the room was 64°. We had a six month old baby. When we woke up at 2 AM because she was crying the room was still at 64° even though we turned the thermostat to auto and 73. You could not open the windows even though it was 80° outside. Maintenance came up at 2:15 AM and determined the heater was broken and we ended up just turning off the air. They were looking for another room on the same floor to switch us too. They were very helpful and got the new room up to 72° and slipped the keys under the door so in the morning we switched rooms. The new room was nicer and larger and they were very helpful with this experience. Other than having to switch rooms everything was incredible the people were so friendly unhelpful. The food for the hot breakfast was really nice. They have Coffee 24 seven. Also they had a nice pool outdoors and our friends staying in the five star hotel in downtown Charleston, their pool and spa closed for renovation. So glad we had a nice outdoor pool here. Would recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Our visit was the simply the best of the best. The Hampton offers a superb location adjacent to the Charleston visitor center, a minute walk to King Street’s restaurant row, and in close proximity to various museums and historical sites such as the Aiken-Rhett house museum. The hotel, is equally well-located along Meeting Street, allowing for a leisurely five-minute walk to historic Marion Park and perhaps a twenty-minute walk to leafy Broad Street. We found the staff incredibly helpful before and during our five-day stay. Our first floor room, was quiet, of perfect size, and well-cleaned daily. My wife was very pleased. We enjoyed a peaceful breakfast on the veranda each morning where we were surrounded by leafy trees and an impressively large well-kept green space. We wished we had taken time to enjoy the pool. Planning to return May 2027.

What a wonderful place! Life isn't perfect - our stay got off to a bit of a rocky start - and that's usually when things go north or way south. The front desk staff & their support team put it in overdrive to get us back on track, and it was all delightfully uphill from there! As to reviews that you need to modernize your decor - please don't - we loved the traditional feel and good ol' fashioned service & attention to detail! Our room was lovely: large, well designed & quite comfortable. The view was splendid. Yes, the breakfast was technically "standard" fare - alas, no omelette chef - however, I actually ate the scrambled eggs, as they were better by far than the norm. The breads & cereal were fresh, the whole area well-staffed and sparkling clean, and through we usually were some of the last diners, everything was still readily available. The location was perfect for us - in the historic district, but with less congestion. The pool & courtyard were lovely - had the grankdkids been with us, they would have been in heaven. I don't usually remember staff by name, but this team did such a stellar job that names stuck with me; sincere thanks to Mitch (whose kindness went so far above & beyond!) Jazz, Gus, Kristy & Sam the driver, who whisked us from train station to hotel & upon checkout to our cruise embarkation! (I sent a detailed email to your GM with specifics and our sincere gratitude.) In short, this hotel is delightful, but it's their incredible staff that lodged it in our hearts as a highlight of our tour of the Southeast!

Solid hotel choice in historic Charleston. Staff was super friendly. Free breakfast was great and more than just continental options. 24 hour coffee available in the lobby. Great location close to many sights with a DASH/Carta stop across the street along with the Charleston visitor center and Charlotte Museum. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again if I come back to Charleston.

Nice, clean and great service. There is some good places around but can get crowded. Your typical breakfast bar, food was fresh, well stocked and kept clean. Waffle mix was really good and im not a big waffle eater. Would definitely stay again.
