Great view at the Riverview

Plusy: Great view. The set up of the hotel was unique. The restaurant on the top floor has the best view of the river and waterfront.

Minusy: The location was difficult to enter and exit because it is right between two highways with no entry or exit ramp.

Friendly, attentive staff

Plusy: Friendly staff, great view of the marina, river and city. Free shuttle into charleston 5 minutes to downtown. Restaurant was actually quite good, large portion ' s , nightly specials, friendly staff and good service and great view. Clean, but basis hotel. Good value for the money. I would stay again.

Minusy: Traffic across bridge to charleston at rush hour. All of the bridges at rush hour.

Plusy: The location in proximity to Charleston. The view from the top floor restaurant was very nice. The waiters, hostess, desk people and assistant manager, all, very pleasant and accommodating. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Minusy: Upon arriving in the afternoon on a Sunday, I found that only one elevator of the two was working. Thus, on Monday morning, I had to wait with my luggage 20 min., yes, 20 min. before there was room in this one elevator for me to ride to the lobby to check out. It stopped three times on my floor filled to the max with folks from a bus tour-The cable TV was out also Monday morning thus no news. I inquired about a courtesy reduction on my bill for these two inconveniences and the Assistant Manager could not have been NICER. She was very pleasant and apologetic and acted on my request-Thanks again!

Great stay at a great price
