Courtyard by Marriott – Mt Pleasant

One of the worst Marriott properties I have ever stayed in. Beautiful lobby and comfortable pillows but that’s about it. I could hear every step the people on the floor above me took, the television gets very few channels (no Disney, nick, bravo, E!), the bistro downstairs was closed at 9 in the morning, I found tissues at the foot of my bed under the covers, and the desk chair must just be for looks as it was almost painful to even sit in. I will absolutely not be back, and would advise anyone looking for a hotel in the area to look elsewhere.

As other reviews note, the lobby is beautiful and spacious. The rooms are a decent size and clean. The beds are just okay. Good pillows though.
The bathroom had some issues. The blowdryer was really old and there was no outlet in the bathroom. There was one near the floor by a mirror, but this isn’t comfortable/​logical if you are tall. We also had serious hot water issues. The shower was either ice cold or scalding hot, with no in between. We reported the issue… Nothing was done.
Only other complaint is that we could hear… Activities… In other rooms. I’ll let you use your imagination.
Overall, if you can priceline for a good deal like we did it is serviceable, but I wouldn’t pay top dollar for this place.

Nice rooms, nice lobby, just over the bridge from historic downtown. Not bad… a little pricier than id like, but it is the holidays.
Better than most courtyard’s…overall, very nice.

I expected a 3-​star hotel when I heard we booked at Marriott Courtyard, but I was pleasantly surprised that it is more of a 5-​star quality. The lobby has a lodge feel and our room has a spa sent. The room is spacious, clean and looks new. We usually don’t allow housekeeping into our room during our stay, so we leave the «Do Not Disturb» sign up ²⁴⁄₇. When we returned to our room, we saw that they left clean towels outside our door without our request.
There’s plenty of free parking and strong Wi-​Fi signal. It’s also conveniently next to freeway 17, but you don’t hear the cars when you’re inside. It takes about 20 – 25 mins to drive to downtown Charleston.
I suggest you request a room on the top floor. Our room was on the second floor and we had a heavy-​footed guy above us, so he woke me up early in the morning with his stomping.

I imagine this place could get loud as the doors and walls are a bit thin. We didn’t have any issues but I would hate to have loud neighbors here.
I thought this place was great for basically a place to crash when in Charleston and you don’t feel like driving home. We prefer Marriot hotels and collect their points. So we’ve been in quite a few of them. This is probably nicer than most Courtyards. But I think the next time we stay in Charleston my wife will want to try someplace different and closer to downtown. It took us about 10 – 15 min to get downtown. Then a half hour to find a place to park!

I just checked out of my room today. I staid here for two nights during my recent interview trip to SC. The location is superb, located right off the highway, and just minutes from the Charleston airport, with plenty of free parking. There are several stores and restaurants located just down the street a couple of minutes drive away. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The large lobby area is one of the most cosy and inviting I have seen, with a large fireplace, comfy chairs, and a small bar on the far right side. There is also a computer with a printer should you want to check in ahead of time and print your boarding passes. In the afternoon they offer a free coffee service and fresh baked cookies. They have a happy hour at the bar until 7pm. This is a «small bar» with limited selection. The breakfast is an additional charge depending on the type of booking you made with the hotel. They also have a small fitness room to use.
The rooms were clean, comfortable, quiet, and spacious. There was a small refrigerator, and coffee pot in the room.
Overall no complaints and very happy with my stay here.

Great hotel! Clean! Nice staff! Great location! Pool area, hot tub and fire pit looked very comfortable. I would stay here again. Only 10 minutes from Daniel Island (location of the Family Circle Cup)

Back to Charleston for the same customer as before, I spent three weeks here this time.
The first night, there was a problem with my room on the top floor. Some sort of mechanical equipment (water condenser? air conditioner?) was causing a massive vibration and loud noise all night. I woke up in the morning exhausted, having dreamed that I had spent the night chasing a vacuum cleaner that I couldn’t turn off no matter what. Disturbing.
I complained to the clerk at the check-​in desk and she said that they would have a new room for me that night. So I popped back to the hotel in the afternoon and moved my stuff from the old noisy room to the new one. All good.
What disappointed me is that there was no follow up or contact from anyone. I’m a Marriott Platinum level elite — as a valued customer, I should have at least gotten an email or a message asking me if everything was okay. Disappointing.
Otherwise, the stay was exactly the same as my previous one. See below.

My mother and I recently stayed at this Courtyard while in Charleston for a long weekend visiting family. I very much enjoyed the hotel; I found it quite comfortable and felt very safe. It is close to a major Chas freeway (which is convenient), but I did not overhear any freeway noise and slept very soundly. Staff was very friendly and helpful, the lobby area was lovely (pool appeared to be quite nice as well, although it wasn’t warm enough outside to swim). Our room/​bathroom was spacious and updated. The mattress was nice and firm (perfect for me — HATE overly soft beds).
Would definitely stay here again.

My brother’s baseball team played in a week-​long tournament in the Charleston area, and so my family, along with most of the other team’s families, spent a week at this hotel. I’m happy to say we had a lovely time, and I think we all treated the hotel well enough that they had a lovely time with us as well.
The staff was very friendly! There is a man at the front desk, I believe his name is James, who is ridiculously helpful and always went well out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, be it material or information. He gave us tons of excellent restaurant suggestions, from small diners to real BBQ joints to fancier fare, throughout the week. The other front desk staff were equally as helpful, and hooked us up with trolley/​shuttle schedules and coupons, among other things. The housekeeping staff did a great job as well, save one day when they seemingly decided not to show up to our room. A quick call to the front desk solved the problem, though they were slow in getting up to us even after that as well.
The rooms were clean and spacious with all the right amenities. It was really great to have a refrigerator, but ours made a lot of really strange sounds, especially at night, so it was sometimes difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep. We were also missing a lightbulb in one of the nooks, and even though we put in a maintenance order, no one ever showed up to fix it. It wasn’t a huge deal, though, as it wasn’t a bulb in one of the main lamps.
Every morning, there is an absolutely fantastic breakfast available from 6am to 10am (these hours may be a little different on the weekend, I’m not sure). Depending on your room package, this breakfast is either complimentary or available for a price (which is about $ 10 for the buffet/​already prepared bit and per item for the menu options). I believe that those with the complimentary option can order items from the menu and have them also be included, but I’m not sure on that one. Either way, it’s the best complimentary breakfast I’ve ever had. I think I spent an hour in the dining area every day, reading and eating as much as I possibly could. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, gravy, biscuits, make-​your-​own-​waffles, fruit salads, cottage cheese, several flavors of yogurt, grits, hard boiled eggs, bagels, pastries, juices, coffee, tea, and… my favorite… always two different kinds of quiche! Pour gravy on that and you’ll have to roll yourself out of there at the end of your stay.
The lobby area had a very spacious library/​living room/​bar thing going on. There was a large tv on one end, along with a couple of public use computers, and a bar (open everyday from like 4p-​10 or 11p) on the other end, with tons of armchairs and couches in between. Tea was available 24/​7, and I believe there were happy hour times during which food such as cheese platters were out. The bartenders were nice, and we were allowed to sit along the bar while it was closed. There are quite a few outlets down in this area, though they can be difficult to locate.
The pool was nice, as was the hot tub, and there were always plenty of towels available poolside. I spent a lot of time reading by the pool (compared to the time I spent in it), and found it to be a nice place to just chill and relax, with plenty of options for sitting in the shade. There are often children playing, so it’s not necessarily the quietest area in the hotel. And if you’re looking to use your electronic devices outdoors, be sure to come fully charged as most of the poolside outlets do not work!
The rest of the outdoor areas were also very nice. Lots of comfy chairs and coffee tables in covered areas, along with a firepit that was popular among our group. There was always somebody around the firepit, even though it was a bit warm for that.
All in all, a really great stay!

Very nice hotel. Beautiful lobby. The bartender was super friendly and helpful — she gave us some tips for our next day’s adventure: Low Country Oyster Festival.

Sophisticated Southern Charm combined with superior customer service — need I say more?

I think I paid to sleep in the noisiest hotel room in the country.
Aside from the fact that I noticed too late (read: after we’d unpacked) we were stationed across from the fitness center and all of its comings and goings, all of the lobby noise bounced through the walls, into my ears and boiled my brain. How ridiculous to even rent out a room in this location!
I don’t know if all the 1^st floor rooms have such high ceilings but it seemed like there was literally a plank between us an the 2^nd floor; I could hear a great deal of upstairs movement.
That aside, the hotel was very clean which is why this gets two stars instead of one. Being able to walk across the room in my bare feet without feeling as if I’ve contracted a disease is my first priority in a hotel.
The staff was friendly… when they were actually at the desk.
There is a little pantry near the entrance where they sell sodas and light snacks, our room had a clean fridge, and the wi-​fi is free if memory serves (my friends and I visited in Oct 2011).
Didn’t dine in the hotel facilities, but we did utilize the free tea/​coffee station located just off the lobby near the bar.
I would consider returning if there weren’t any other viable options in the area and I was on a higher floor.

Great hotel on the waterfront. Near the highway but did not disturb our stay in any way. No problem getting to downtown. Hotel clean as always. Lots of areas to sit privately. Great outside patio by the restaurant to sit and eat. Parking garage under hotel. Free. Breakfast Is not included but very, very reasonable.

huge plus is the staff — super friendly
an overpriced (399.00 ?) marriott for what they offer. decent lobby, courtyard area (smoking allowed in there is bad!), out door pool is not overly comfortable. restaurant/​bar is small but standard marriott style. small rooms and batrooms that seem outdated.
located
not a terrible experience, but seems like an outdated, over priced marriott.

Cozy little hotel tucked away right outside of Charleston in Mt. Pleasant. Reasonable nightly fee for staying here makes it a sweet deal. And once you walk in the lobby as well as take part in the daily happy hour, inclusive of chicken wings and BBQ, you will definitely be in positive territory for getting your money’s worth! Clean rooms and polite front desk round out a great experience and a great hotel. No worries!

What a super hotel! We stayed here when we were touring the Boone Plantation which is nearby. Not only is the lobby and bar stunning, the rooms are big and cozy. We happened upon Happy Hour which had free wings and pulled pork sandwiches — hit the spot after touring all day! Great coffee is available in the lobby in the morning with to-​go cups. Really sweet staff too. We had the good fortune (har har) of checking in with 100 teenage tennis players and I was mortified that we would be up all night hearing them giggling and running up and down the halls. We mentioned it to the manager on the way out for dinner (I told her I would expect we would have to be moved but we would wait and see how things turned out that night). But the rooms were solid and (ok I had earplugs in also) but I couldnt hear a thing. Super place and great sleep — thanks Marriott Mt Pleasant!

This was a fantastic hotel! A co-​worker and I were staying here for a few days and we didnt expect much from a Courtyard. We pulled up and were very surpised that the exterior was so invited, it looked like it was brand new or very well kept up. The lobby was gorgeuous and we spent some time just looking around.
The rooms were great, something I would expect at a higher end hotel. Grantie counter top, whirlpool tubs. It was a very comfortable stay!
The breakfast was not free but it was nice anyways.
