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.

I feel as though I have been on a mini vacation at a fabulous resort. I was met with smiles and greetings from the wonderful staff at the Harbourview Inn. Robert met me at my car and delivered my luggage to my room. The front desk was friendly and made you feel that they had known you for years. I... more

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

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...
