The room was very fresh and modern. The pool area and bar were lively and well maintained. The pool area, front desk and restaurant/bar staff were really pleasant. The cafe was overpriced for what was served and the cafe morning staff didn’t have much personality. But there are other coffee options nearby!

This hotel was perfect! The staff, particularly Ryan at the front desk, were knowledgeable and so friendly! The amenities in the Gear Garage were perfect for bike rides and beach days. The food onsite was excellent and the bar so fun. Pool was a great way to spend a day. Loved it so much!

Everything was great!! We went to the bar twice and breakfast once and had a wonderful experience each time. The only thing that could've been a little better was the A/C. We were there during a heat wave and the A/C never got as cold as the temperature that we set (I think the lowest possible selection was around 70-72, nothing crazy).

We really enjoyed our stay at The Ryder Hotel! The location is fantastic and perfect for exploring Charleston, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The amenities were also great and the overall atmosphere was fun and welcoming. That said, our room was very small, and being located directly next to the elevator made it a bit less comfortable than we would have liked. Overall, though, the great location, friendly service, and amenities made for a nice stay.

We were made to feel welcome when we arrived. Very nice 2 Queen bed room. There is a nice pool and breakfast was perfect and they offer a $10 credit for breakfast. It is a perfect location to see down town, we were able to walk to many venues. Check out was easy and again staff were very nice.
