We had booked a room with water view and balcony. When we got there we were shown a room overlooking the AC units and told we rooms we booked with Expedia was not available but if it was it would be $900! Not so, I went to Hilton's website and found the view/balcony room available for $389. What's up??

Hotel lost internet connection thus no Wifi from one afternoon until check out the next day. All computers (even check in desk) were down. Ice machines were empty. Bathroom shower and ceiling had black mold.

The room was clean, a little dated; shower door leaked. The balcony waterfront view room had a wonderful view of Ashley River and was the best part of the stay there. Breakfast buffet a bit pricey for what it was and who needs a waiter to hand you a plate and put the bill on the table? But, yes a reason for a tip. This room was over $850 for two nights, can’t really say it was worth it.

I found everything to be great however I feel robed at paying such a high rate for a water view room with a balcony for one night during the week on a Tuesday. The room we got looked over a building with a messy back deck hidden from site at ground level but fully in view from our room . We had to look at the water from the side of the building and right next to highways that pass by the building previously mentioned . Whmyoayo g such a price we expect water view to be water view. A great location excellent parking but just too expensive for us to return.

There were no shuttles downtown, the garage parking leaked in the rain even though the car was underneath. Upon check-in staff took too long to resolve a mistake on the type of room I was given putting the blame on Expedia. We were highly disappointed after driving so many hours to get there and get a room with one bed instead of 2.

The front desk staff was most excellent. The only issue was on the 2nd day of our stay the door key wouldn't work. After several trips to the front desk, they had someone from maint. to trouble shoot the problem. He was able to get the door open and discovered the batteries were failing. He replaced them and the keys worked properly. We ended up waiting around 30 mins to get inside our room. The front desk gave us gift card to use at the restaurant. Other than that, there were no other issues.

Concierge staff was wonderful. They provided an early checkin several hours before the promised time… on our wedding day! Big win. Really helped relieve stress before the ceremony.
