HOLIDAY INN CHARLESTON-RIVERVIEW BY IHG, Charleston

All rooms feature a private bathroom, air conditioning, heating, ironing facilities, a desk, and a flat-screen TV. Room options include King Rooms with accessible bathtubs and Double Rooms with roll-in showers, available upon request. Higher floors offer the best river or city views, with suites on the 14th floor facing historic downtown. Rooms are generally spacious with comfortable beds, though some furnishings and carpets show wear. Known issues include noise from the roof restaurant above the 14th floor between 8 PM and 11 PM, occasional traffic noise from the adjacent highways, and thin walls. Bathrooms are dated with small tub-shower combos; the shower curtain may not contain water. The temperature can be inconsistent, with some rooms having drafty windows.

The 15th-floor restaurant offers a breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, eggs, and made-to-order omelets for a charge. The dinner menu includes options like ribeye, fish and chips, and a kids' buffet. A bar and snack bar serve wine, champagne, and cocktails. Weekend brunch is available on Sundays. The dining experience is praised for the exceptional views and friendly staff, but food quality and menu variety have been noted as inconsistent, with some items occasionally unavailable. Several restaurants and bars are within a short drive, including California Dreaming Restaurant & Bar (3 km).

The seasonal outdoor swimming pool is open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM, located on the third floor. It features a shallow end, a fence around the pool, and towels are provided. The fitness centre is free and well-equipped. There is no spa on site. The pool area has generally been well-received, though some report that it can be crowded during peak times.
