Short drive to historic Charleston with great amenities, clean and nice overall.

Positives: Spacious, clean and I loved the strawberry water offered in the lobby!

Negatives: Had more of a business feel than a weekend getaway feel.

Enjoyed the stay though it was one night. There was a lack of parking but a large addition to the parking lot was under way. The staff was dressed professionally and performed the same. Large open sitting spaces inside and out for relaxing outside your room. The pool was small but well maintained and my children loved it. I will surely be staying again when I visit my son at college.

Positives: Very clean and attractive. Open areas inside & out.

Negatives: Not enough towels and the clock did not work right and the hairdryer needing cleaning.

Great hotel for what we paid. I would have been upset if I had paid the going rate. Rooms and bathroom were extremely small and hard to maneuver. Perfect for a single business traveler. But had to pay to use Internet even though we had our own laptop.

Positives: Nice atmosphere.

Negatives: Room too small. Too much furniture for such a small room.

Would definitely hope that if I use Priceline for Charleston again that I get this hotel. Positive: Very upscale, clean and nicely decorated. Got a good price via Priceline. Friendly staff. Negative:<BR/>Parking due to construction. They just switched to the single cup room coffee makers. Need to give you more than one of each type of coffee especially when there a two of us.

Positives: Well appointed and friendly staff.

Negatives: Parking due to construction.

Positives: The first impression upon entering the lobby.

Negatives: I can't believe they charge for Internet in the room.

Price, atmosphere, and memories; those were everything I could have hoped for but did not expect. I was blown away as soon as I walked into the lobby and saw how beautiful it was. You could see a long fountain in front of the windows as soon as you pulled. There was beautiful artwork displayed that it seemed I was entering into some sort of museum. The outdoor scene was also amazing. There were little personal fire pits blazing, patio furniture spaced comfortably about as well as couches for comfort. I haven't even started on the room. It was so beautiful I had to check my bill to make sure they didn't make a mistake. Overall, the best hotel I have personally ever experienced.

Positives: It was way over my expectations. I said 'Wow' as soon as I entered the lobby and when I got to my room.

Negatives: The only thing I didn't like was that the pool and hot tub were outside. I would have gone in.

Hotel is nice and comfortable, which is what you would expect of a Ramada Inn. Parking and lot was very tight with areas of inches deep water standing. There is ongoing construction. I'm not sure if this was for additional business center capacity. They need additional parking.

Positives: Lobby and hotel staff was very nice and accommodating.

Negatives: Parking was a mess due to construction at the hotel and standing water.

It was great - bright, well decorated, clean. Staff was most friendly. Especially liked the exercise room with towels, paper towels and bottled water. Food in restaurant was good. Gift shop had 2 good books on Revolutionary War and Civil War walking tours in Charleston.

Positives: It was great - better than a resort hotel I just visited.

Negatives: Lounge chair in room needed a pole lamp for reading. Seemed a bit short of parking spaces but it looked like a new parking lot is under construction.

11 out of 10! We would give the Marriott Charleston an 11 if we could. My wife and I spent a week in Charleston - our hotel was a wonderful aspect of our trip. The staff were professional, friendly, and uber-helpful. The room was wonderful - warm, inviting colors; material patterns that evoked the local area; and a comfortable bed and chairs. This hotel felt like a home, and we were always happy to return to the room after a day out sightseeing. Other Priceline users have denigrated the size of the bathroom - my wife and I had no problem with it and appreciated the granite top and multiple shelves in the vanity. The location on Lockwood at highway 17 made travel downtown, to Kiawah and the plantations in the west and to Sullivan's in the east a snap. Highly recommended!

Positives: Gorgeous room, excellent, accommodating staff.

Negatives: There was no microwave in the room.

We really enjoyed our stay. Hotel had nice decor and rooms were clean and bed was very comfortable. The pool was not very large and it was sometimes hard to find a lounge chair. We would stay here again.

Positives: Hotel was clean with nice decor. Staff friendly and helpful.

Negatives: Renovation of parking lot caused limited parking. Hard to find a space each time we came in and out.

Upon arrival, the hotel staff were courteous and very helpful with directions to local attractions. The room was spacious, the bed very comfortable (lots of feather pillows). I enjoyed the use of the mini-fridge, great for keeping beverages and other food items over a 5-day stay. The grounds were well-kept, the pool was crystal clear and the exercise room was fabulous! I highly recommend the Marriott for any stay, be it for leisure or business.

Positives: Loved the 3rd floor outdoor bar - has great view of the area.

Negatives: Lighting in bathroom was somewhat dim.
