My stay at The Lindy Renaissance Charleston Hotel was pretty enjoyable, with a prime location and friendly staff. However, I was disappointed with the breakfast options and some minor service hiccups. Despite these issues, the accommodations were clean and well-kept, contributing to a pleasant overall experience. 😊

Rooms

The room was nicely decorated but on the smaller side, which I expected given the hotel's age. The walk-in shower was a highlight, though I did struggle with the handheld shower wand spraying everywhere! The room's lack of carpeting and modern amenities were nice touches.

While the convenience of the attached restaurant was great, the breakfast left much to be desired. The food quality was poor; the pancakes were inedible and the bacon was rubbery. I recommend seeking breakfast elsewhere for a better experience.

The hotel's facilities were decent, but I wished for more meeting spaces as the restaurant wasn't open during the day. The coffee shop had good biscuits, but the food options were somewhat limited.
