Hotel Bella Grace

I only stayed one night, and the room worked perfectly for a short visit. It was a clean, well located Marriot residence inn, one block from King Street shopping and dining and Market Street. The room was efficient and functional, with plenty of storage, hangers, and a desk/vanity area. It was spacious, had a full kitchen with appliances, and a nice big shower. Short stays are welcome too, of course. Don’t forget to get your points. Hope to come back soon!

We stayed one night and were really disappointed with the room. It was tiny, like a “bird cage,” but we were charged extra because it was the “holiday season.” When we asked to change rooms, they said no and explained they were overbooked. We booked through Expedia, whose picture showed a much nicer, spacious room. Expedia said the hotel had supplied the pictures, so don’t be fooled by what you see. It seems to me Expedia has a deal with mediocre hotels to rate them too highly and draw in unsuspecting people like us. There was no lobby, and the elevator was dirty. I’d never come back.

Great location, but there’s really nowhere to work unless you stay in your room. There’s no lobby, and the one meeting room by the front desk is usually booked. I saw several offsite vendors giving presentations there. The hotel is a cute little boutique place, but has no services or amenities. There’s no way to order food, so be ready to use DoorDash or Uber eats for meals. There is a small snack bar by the front desk.

The rooms were clean, spacious, and well appointed, and the hotel is a nice boutique option close to King Street’s little shops and restaurants. There’s no restaurant in the hotel, but Delaney Oyster House is literally a 30 second walk next door. Charleston is very walkable, and this makes a great starting point for exploring the city. I highly recommend the Hotel Bella Grace in Charleston.
