Andrew Pinckney Inn

"The room was excellent; staff was very helpful.
Location was fantastic.
Great Value."
Hyatt Place Charleston/Historic District
10/10 Excellent
"We liked staying at the Hyatt Place Charleston/Historic District for many reasons. Parking was literally right across the courtyard! The hot breakfast each morning started each day well & we enjoyed the hot coffee too. The hotel is located right off King Street which has restaurants, shops & many retail stores to browse. We also were located close to the CARTA shuttle bus stop which is a free service offered to all. Most times we walked; however sometimes you need to ride so we used the shuttle bus when our bodies yelled "rest"!"
