“Absolutely the best”

CAP1953

Stowe, Vermont

Aug 31, 2008

There are few phrases to adequately describe the Harbourview Inn, other than "perfect in every way." Our four-night stay could not have been more pleasant. This is a property that truly pays attention to every detail. Let me list the positives: (1) a gorgeous setting right on the waterfront; (2) beautiful, spacious rooms with every amenity; (3) gracious hospitality from... more

Having read the other reviews of the Harbourview Inn I thought that I knew what to expect from my stay, but suspected that some of the reviews were 'exaggerated' - I had often found this to be the case with other hotel reviews. Imagine my delight, then, when I found that the service and comfort levels actually exceeded my expectations!... more

This little secret in Charleston is just wonderful. Harbourview Inn is Right on the harbor and about one block from East Bay St. Not a full service hotel but who needs one with all of the great restaurants in Charleston within walking distance. Desk associates were wonderful concierge's and were very knowledgeable and friendly. Bert especially went out of his... more

I was extremely excited before our trip started to stay at this hotel based on all the positive reviews I read on TA.

My husband and I happened to be in Charleston, SC in August, 2008 and someone recommended we stay at the Harbourview Inn.

We arrived there with the idea of spending in Charleston just one night, at the end we decided to stay four nights. The hotel is very nice, the location is excellent, the staff is reliable (althought it is composed by young college students, who are working there temporarily, they are actually very professional). The hotel offers wine and cheese to... more

The Harbourview is a delightful hotel! I’ve stayed there on two occasions and both times it was wonderful. The location is ideal for walking around downtown Charleston. Try to get a room with a view of the harbor. The staff are warm and welcoming. The rooms are nicely appointed and very comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the afternoon wine tasting and... more

I booked this hotel based on the reviews I read here. It was our first trip to Charleston and I was so glad we picked the HVI. It was THE best located hotel in my opinion. We were able to walk everywhere on this trip and the street that it is on is just beautiful (Vendue Range) as well as... more

We are so glad that you decided to stay at the HarbourView Inn on your first visit to Charleston. It sounds like you did a lot of walking around in the historic district. Walking is definitely the best way to get around Charleston and then come back to the HarbourView Inn to one of the historic rooms. We hope it...
