Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel

Stayed three nights. Staff was very friendly. Loved proximity to downtown and all the amenities around. Pool is small but filled it’s need for the kid. Almost no water pressure in shower but that’s minor.

Our stay at the Lindy was less than optimal to say the least. Definitely not what you would expect from a Marriott and a $400/night hotel room. From the first night of arrival, the room smelled so bad from the chemicals that they use to clean it, that it affected our breathing. Secondly, if you are looking to get any rest, the rooms are so loud. You hear every door in the hallway that opens and shuts. There is no way to get any peaceful rest, In addition the housekeeping was awful. We specifically requested someone to clean our room and they came in and made the bed like a child would have with the sheets hanging off the side and the duvet cover completely missing. They didn’t bother to pick up any of our dirty dishes, or empty our trash we brought, all of these issues to the attention of the manager, and also had them look at the room the way it was left. The only caveat of our experience was that the manager did apologize and gave us some perks for our inconvenience.. One other important thing to note is that there is also construction going on all around the perimeter of the Hotel. So also be prepared to hear banging from the construction as well as slamming of all the hallway doors. Our air condition handler cover was also dismantled from the wall so every time the AC would turn on it would sound like a slamming of a door. The only positive is that the location of the hotel was good. Also, if you want to get a cocktail, you have to wait until 4 PM for the bar to open.

My children loved the bowl of suckers next to the elevator!
