What guests think

At Harborside at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina, guests praise the scenic harbor views, family‑friendly pools and fire pits, and relaxing marina setting, while reviews also note dated rooms and inconsistent housekeeping.

Many highlight friendly, accommodating staff and a free shuttle or nearby water taxi, though service and communication can be uneven during busy events or repairs. Several reviews cite low water pressure or hot water issues, noisy or aging HVAC, and small, awkward bathrooms with sliding doors; balconies and harbor views are a standout when booked. Facilities impress when open, but off-season or maintenance closures (elevators, a pool) and add-on fees surprise some, and on-site dining and breakfast value feel limited. Expect striking harbor scenery and amenities, with room quality and operations that can vary.

Not as nice as their property next door that we have stayed at before. Pool was under construction not that we would’ve used it during this time of year however, our harbor and pool view was a view of a drained pool partially tiled. One of the elevators was out of work and the second one was very jerky. The property itself needs some renovations in the rooms.

This resort had several well maintained pools, an outdoor area, and a hot tub that we enjoyed. They also offered free transportation to downtown Charleston. The decor and furnishings were very nice. They also have an above average self serve coffee bar. The only negative thing I can say is that our “inland view” was a view of an unsightly, uncovered work/storage area with a bunch of junk sitting out.

Fantastic resort for a family and dog friendly!

Very short walk to the USS Yorktown. Fish House restaurant was fabulous. My family can't wait to come back!!

We booked 3 nights on hotels.com for a "total" of $710, the final bill came out to be over $900 (pet fee + misc.). This extraordinary pet fee ($175) wasn't spelled out in details during booking process, if they did we would have stayed somewhere else. The hotel's pool/hot tub were under constructions, one of the two elevators wasn't working our entire trip but they still charged full Resort fee. Feel a little cheated! Don't think we will come back again!

Multiple requests for clean towels unmet for hours. Room wasn’t restocked daily with toilet paper. Bathroom condition was poor. No ventilation fan. Walls beat up. Paint peeling off the door. Tub caulking falling off. TV service was down for multiple days and then when it came back on, it was a snowshow. Party at the point parking situation needs to be addressed. If you don’t have a resort key, you shouldn’t be allowed to park at the hotel.

Both elevators did not work. Pool was empty even though charged $40 resort fee. Safe did not work. Room 234 is more of a garden view. Paid for a view of the harbor. On the plus side. Shuttle to historic district a real plus. Easy beautiful walk to Yorktown. Easy drive to Sullivan Island and the beach.

The hotel location and view is incredible! The cleanliness was sub-par and you can tell the property needs a refresh. Our shower would leak like crazy and almost flood the bathroom, bed frame was bent and sticking out from the bed skirt & there were several hairs found in our sheets (looking like long hair & beard or pubic hair). There’s a lot of wear and tear on the property and it really needs a good update/fresh paint.

Resort is beautiful and at a great location. The architect should have won some kind of award with the colors and decorations. However, the facility is not being maintained properly to substantiate the cost. All the rugs (room & common areas) are in desperate need of shampooing, walls and woodwork are all scuffed up and just re-painted at some point with no repairs being made. When we arrived at the room, there was a big clump of someone's hair at the sliding glass door near the dirty curtains and the freezer was frozen solid with ice. All the floors needed to be cleaned. We reported everything to the front desk (except dirty curtains) and when we returned from our outing, the hair was removed, and the floors were clean. However, someone just turned off the refrigerator so there was water all over the floor! We reported and the maintenance person cleaned up the mess and replaced the refrigerator so the other one could defrost properly and without damaging the floor.

Dirty doors sticky substance seems like haven’t been cleaned in years. Sliding door difficult to lock and the screen door closes automatically and shouldn’t. Neighbors smoked the entire time cigarette smoke coming in through the vents. Loud banging noises all nights. The AC unit cutting on and off makes a popping noise every single time, difficult to sleep.

Maintenace was called and he fixed the bathroom door, but could not resolve the other issues. Our room was run down, bedding was good and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Just needs some loving care to details.The staff was excellent., pool area could have used pressure washed.

Beautiful location on the harbor. You have access to the pool next door at the Beach Club, which is very nice and has great views. The place itself is clean, with a friendly staff, but the Harbor Resort is in desperate need of a paint job and some upkeep. It's one thing for the rooms to look dated, but it seems lazy to have AC vents falling off and paint chipping everywhere. That said, we would go back again because we got a nice deal.

I love this place and we stay here 3-4 times a year. The reason for the low rating is because I tried to extend my stay 1 more night and they told me it was sold out but I could stay at the main hotel next door for well over 200.00 more per night. I passed on that, and left to find another hotel for the night. I got to my car and looked up rooms in the area on Orbitz and found multiple rooms still available there for the same rate as the previous 3 nights.. I booked the room and when I checked in I told the manager what had happened. Her response was, “we must have had a cancellation”… Nothing else. Not good enough for me. Gotta get your act together. I will be looking for another option to stay at next time here.

Dinner at the Fish House restaurant was excellent. However, the breakfast buffet was not worth $22. We upgraded to a harbor view room and it was worth it! The rooms could use some updating and a comfort height toilet would be good for older guests. The bed was really comfortable. The best bed out of 3 hotels qe stayed at during our trip.
