What guests think

At DoubleTree by Hilton Charleston Riverview, travelers often find a convenient base a short drive from downtown, with free parking and a shuttle at times, making it an appealing alternative to staying in the historic center.

Rooms are typically spacious and comfortable with contemporary layouts, though road noise and limited “riverviews,” doorless showers that splash, and occasional humidity or AC quirks are noted. Service is frequently praised as friendly and helpful, though some guests report slow or confusing breakfast/bar service and occasional front-desk indifference. Recurring downsides include intermittent or slow-to-arrive hot water, housekeeping that is often by request, and sporadic maintenance issues alongside technology glitches and a cold, shaded pool. Expect a convenient, good-value stay if you prioritize space and location over flawless upkeep.

Great location for what we needed. Only draw back was the pool area did not receive sun at really any part of the day and it was freezing cold water so not able to use. Staff was extremely friendly and service was great.

All the staff was great during our stay. We had about 10 rooms for a family reunion. Some had issues with a/c and lack of hot water. These issues were never addressed by management. The facility offered our group of 40+ to use the conference room several nights which was great. The breakfast server, Vine, was super sweet. The bar had no frozen ice drinks but was good overall. Accessibility to downtown via driving was convenient. Parking lot was very spacious. Pool was small but adequate for quick dips. There was a fitness room but I didn’t use it. Check in and out was a breeze. Shout out to Sam at the guest desk as well, real nice to deal with. Decent stay but would overall rate 3.5 to 4

Back entry door by our room was out of order. Heat didn't work in the room woke up freezing. Pool closed for season and no hot tub. Coffee was always out in the lobby. The location was nice and close to downtown and the hotel overall was nice and clean. Staff was friendly. Rating is poor due to the fact we didn't have heat during a very cold night and the broken entry door.

Our stay was disappointing. This Cambria doesn’t have the rooftop bar that others have. But the real issue was all the little stuff. Most of the parking was around back, but we found out in the rain, that an entry door was out of order, so we had to find another. In the room, a USB port didn’t work. The lights at the top of the bathroom mirror didn’t work. The tub was clogged so it filled while running the shower. Staff fixed the light the third day and the clog was taken care of the same day, so that’s good. However, the Smart TV was dumb. There was no internet signal, so we couldn’t log into our own streaming accounts. We asked for it to be fixed, but we were told it wasn’t a smart tv—strange since it turns on saying Samsung Smart. It was raining so much, so not having decent TV in the evening was frustrating. However, it was really annoying that when we were checking out, another manager confirmed that we should have been able to cast from a phone and that nobody else complained about not being able to. With so many little things on top of other little things at another Cambria last year, my husband and I are done with Cambria.

We arrived late the evening we checked in. We were all tired from work and driving to our destination. We checked in and the lady checking us in didn’t have the best personality. I asked her was the front the best way to get to our room for we had to unload all of our luggage, etc. She replied that we could come in the front door or backdoor. Well, I didn’t know where the back door was but we drove around to the back. One would have thought to tell a customer that if they had luggage, etc that maybe the front was the best choice since it had a rolling cart and the back didn’t. Anyway, we finally figured out how to get in the back with no help to the girl and we headed to our room. We got in and my husband had to use the restroom so he went to the bathroom and lifted the seat. He come out of bathroom and asked me how much I spent on the room and I told him. He said, it was not worth it if they aren’t going to do their jobs and called me to come to the bathroom to look. I looked and under the toilet, it was disgusting. We called down to the front desk and she said she could move us. We took our keys back downstairs and showed her the picture we took and she just looked at it and shrugged her shoulders like she could care less - no apology or nothing. There was also no continental breakfast of any sort either. Just a few things they need to work on for the price that they charge here. Hopefully they can get them resolved. Other than that, our stay was overall good.

The Black lady that checked us in wasn’t nasty but she wasn’t polite either. The bartender was so wonderful. Beautiful well spoken and cordial Black lady. She needs to check guests in and be the face of the hotel. Her presence was absolutely beautiful and so inviting. She was the only staff member that made us feel welcomed. The room was okay I guess. It had a musty smell, stains on the bedding, and hairs in the shower. We dealt with it as the lady that checked us in wasn’t that nice so we didn’t want confrontation with her. Common areas were well organized and clean. Although the bartender was so amazing I won’t book with them again.

Overall the hotel is very nice and staff friendly. It felt like the A/C wasn’t enough to de-humidify the air in the room. In literally smelled like ocean water in the room and clothes were a tad damp though unworn.

The room door wouldn't latch completely by itself, and you had to fight and lift it to latch for the key card lock to activate also. The room itself was ok and clean. The bathroom door wouldn't close correctly, and would slide past the stopping point and leave a big gap. The shower water would leak out onto the floor every time, but we had extra towels to handle it. The smell in the room would sometimes get really bad and seemed to be coming from the plumbing, but this seemed to be an issue around the city and not just the building though. The front desk staff was nice, but it appeared other staff were afraid to talk or answer questions. The breakfast was not free, but the staff didn't approach you to ask you for your room number, and didn't explain how you were supposed to pay for it. Even with the inconveniences, it wasnt a bad place and it was a good location for seeing things around town.

The hot water seemed to have an issue. It took about 30 min to get warm enough to get in. Also, it’s pretty close to the highway. If you are a light sleeper it’s an issue. Bring your noise machine.

While staying at this property, my car (and multiple other cars) were broken into in the middle of the night. Someone smashed all our windows in an attempt to steal. This property has no cameras in their parking lot, nor has security so it is the perfect environment for this type of crime. The property took no steps in ensuring the safety of their patrons, and offered no recourse as this all took place on their property. The staff was extremely nonchalant about the entire ordeal which led me to leave a day earlier than planned as I no longer felt safe staying at this hotel. Horrible experience and I caution anyone who is driving their car to stay here.

The service in the restaurant was absolutely ridiculous. Over 40 minutes waiting for 2 burgers, plus people who came after us got their food before we did. Then it took nearly 10 minutes to get my bill, AFTER I had to ask for it. At least 15 minutes from the time we ordered water to get the water. I also had a salad, didn't get silverware for over 10 minutes after telling her when she put it on the table.

This booking clearly stated the it included free parking - one of the prior reasons we choose this location. During check in despite telling the clerk these were the terms of the booking, she repeatedly said we needed to pay for parking. I told the clerk this was our 4 th staff at this hotel this month and we have never paid for parking. Other than this, the hotel, location were good.

Staff was not the friendliest, but not completely rude. When I arrived it was not busy, I was just asked for my name and ID. I was then given my room key but had to ask what room I was in and how to get to it. Oh, i was asked for my license plate number but never directed to where i could and couldn't park. Not very personable or interested in the guest. Nice hotel but was lacking the staff to match. Felt like they use to be TSA employees. I had some minor issues with the room like the the sink was slow draining, given the short time I stayed i didnt ask about getting it fixed, but if they cleaned the sink and let the water run for 10 seconds it should have been noticed before releasing the room.
