    Great location! Nice hot tub with big porch that overlooks the water. Warm fire pit available for cooler nights. Clean quiet rooms with comfortable beds and pillows.

    First time in Charleston or South Carolina. Came here on a business trip with a group of colleagues and we all started in different hotels Don't ask why... we just did... and I think Ingot the BEST of the lot. The staff was hospitable from the get go! From check in to turn down service to checkout. There is a great view of the river, with tons of boats moored/parked just out side the back courtyard. There is a decent pool, weight room (I should have used it more with all this delicious food this town offers), a bistro cafe and a bar. My room was comfortable. The king bed was very comfy. The view I had was great overlooking the pool and the water. I'd recommend this place for any occasion from vacationing to business.... Close to the Historic Downtown district and the Market. You do have to pay nightly for the parking garage (which came out to $8 a night), or you can park in one of two of their outdoor lots. Whether pleasure or business, as always... Enjoy and Happy Sight Seeing!

    This is an older Marriott that needs a little TLC. The views are spectacular, the lobby and bar area are updated and really fun. The outside area is beautiful. The thing with an older Marriott you may hear your neighbors and it might not be as shiny as new ones, but the locations are almost always a win. And the beds are good and you NEVER have to worry about hot water or water pressure. Spring for the room with a water view. Maybe not the balcony, bc it isn't big enough to sit on, but nice to open the door and watch the sunset. The lobby is a great place to work if you need to get out of the room for a bit or if late check out it not an option. The staff is super friendly and the coffee down stairs is very good.

    Went there on a spare of the moment. Room was clean, we slept well. Rooms are small, stayed in room 423. No Continental breakfast. Security was lacking. We can go from the parking lot to our room without a key.

    Great location but needs A LOT of work. The whole place smells like a dirty washcloth. This is likely in part due to being right on the water and the humidity. But there are ways to mitigate that (e.g., types of flooring, cleaning carpets more often, etc). Everything that had been done was so poorly executed it's insane. It looks like there are problem dozens of layers of paint. Paint is splattered everywhere (e.g., shower wall, floor, tub, handrails, etc). And things are just halfway completed. I'll be finding a different Marriott property when I'm there for work.

    Room 340 Average hotel. The room was clean and tidy The card reader on the door worked once on entry. Each day we returned the card did not work. No big deal we just trotted downstairs and a new card was given. We did not complain as we knew something was wrong with the door and would be fixed. To compensate we were given vouchers for breakfast. Totally unexpected The best part of the stay are the shuttle drivers. Eddie and Scott are excellent ambassadors for the hotel. They were both informative and gave great tips on events, happenings, history and restaurants

    It's Marriott, so it has the typical Marriott look and feel - with a comfy off-lobby lounge area -,with a view. It's on the water, so there are some nice views. Request a water view when booking your reservation. It''s adjacent to the hospital district, but waking to the hospitals looked like it would not be optimal because of the layout of the roads. It's just a 10 minute drive to historic downtown Charleston and some of the best restaurants anywhere. I didn't see any restaurants in walking distance, so everything will be a drive. Again, it's Marriott, so it has the typical Marriott look and feel. Other data points: -Good parking with some covered -Lobby on the second floor -Coffee, drinks, and minimal food options -Covid sensitive

    They dumped clean towels outside our bedroom door while we were away.

    OMG... The laziest staff of people of any Marriott I've ever experienced . They don't answer the phone... They don't service the rooms... The only people worth a damn are the shuttle drivers... I can't believe this is really a Marriott BonVoy associated establishment.

    At a first glance The Schoolhouse appears to be an unassuming business space with rented out…read moreoffices. Once within you see it's not just local vendors but a healing space featuring wellness studios, esthetician services, and meeting places where folks gather for events from yoga to presentations. There's a water refill station inside and a great restroom with sinks available indoor and out of the actual restroom. I noticed some meeting places as well with transparent walls good for community gatherings. Some notable places I've seen are The Sanctuary, DandiLion wax studio, and the Charleston Wellness Studio. Upon reading another Yelp review I loved they offer a venue space as well which would be great for showers or weddings perhaps! Something to look into. Another wonderful addition to the Schoolhouse is the picturesque garden next door. Enjoyed the flowers and greenery before embarking on my next task. Very peaceful space.

    The Schoolhouse is a fairly new event center, I believe it has been about a year? More or less,…read morecould be wrong. At any rate, we were looking for a spot to hold our mom's 70th birthday surprise party. We were struggling with finding availability on a Saturday afternoon - church reception halls were booked, other venues were booked, and then other venues just wanted to charge too much for a birthday party (charging us Charleston wedding prices!!). The Schoolhouse actually did not come up in our search, but was recommended to my sister. My sister immediately contacted the Schoolhouse to check availability. They have a couple different rooms that are rentable, depending on size. We didn't need anything too big, so we were able to rent out the Music Room. Small room good for 30-40 people. They supply the chairs/tables with the rental. On the day of, Heather was there to meet us, and gave me her number in case we had any questions. I will say, the only issue was that there was another group that had a function going on in the next room and they had come in and taken one of our tables. So we had to take it back! Not a big issue, since Heather took charge, but it just seems like people don't understand that multiple events can go on. That is the biggest issue that I see with this space, is that people don't understand that multiple events can go on. Obviously, if you are the one renting it, then you know it, but your guests do not. So as we were setting up, we had the doors open so that we could bring stuff in from the cars. Well there were some random people that just walked into and through our room. Do you not see us setting up? Then eventually two people came in and were on the floor giving massages (what in the world??) - not sure if they were tenants or from the other party. Again, do you not see us setting up? We told them we had this space reserved, and they were willing to leave. Then I guess the party next door did not bring enough supplies, coming in and asking us for cups. No, we bought these for our party. I wouldn't say this is a fault to the event center, but a fault to guests/other people renting, to give other people common courtesy. We did end up closing all doors once we got everything inside from all of the cars, and had no other issues. My only suggestion would be to maybe have signs in place by the rental facility showing that "this room is privately reserved today, please do not enter". During the actual party with the room filled, it did get very warm. It was at least a cool night so that we opened the door to the outside to let cool air in. I'm not sure if we knew how to adjust the temperature or if we could adjust it, but that was our means of just letting the building be and letting cool air in. Also, there is ample parking in front and in back of the building. So your guests do not have to worry about having to park and walk or to pay for parking. Overall, I would definitely recommend this space for a party - reasonably priced, with a great setup on how much space you actually need.

I purchased the Tea Service ahead of time. Everyone was very friendly but I will say, overly cautious. I had indicated that I have a tree nut allergy on the notes when I booked our reservation and I have never had an establishment refuse me service because of my allergy , but they did. For the life of me I couldn't understand why a slight adjustment couldn't be made to remove almonds from one tiny dish. They also refused to serve one of my daughters for a lactose intolerance note. I assured them it was ok and I had a lactaid for her to take, she'd be fine. I had only included that note because SOME places will offer alternatives. Ultimately, they served us but I had to sign a waiver, never have I ever until now. Most of the tea service items were very good with the exception of the tiny lemon chess pie which was curdled and tasted of rotten eggs, awful. The tea was excellent and the scones and curd and cream were great too. The area where the dining room is, is nothing fancy at all. It was decent but I was truly disappointed as I was hoping for something more extravagant for tea service. The plantation home, while nice was also truly underwhelming. Great history, good tour guide who was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller, but the house was not anywhere near as fancy as others I have visited. I think what was the biggest let down was that this was the first time my daughters were visiting any plantation home and it was not at all what I was hoping for them to see and experience. If I had known what it looked like more ahead of time, I would have chosen another location in the area. Pictures inside the home are not allowed.

I've been to baseball games across the country. I've been lucky enough to be in luxury suites at every type of sporting event as well. So my first visit to this luxury suite at the Riverdogs stadium and I was sold. It's fantastic! After picking up our tickets at will call you head to the stairs or the elevator and go to floor 3. Douglas meet us at the entrance to check our tickets, give us wrist bands and explain about the free beer and food. The room is from home plate all the way down past the first base line so it's huge. The bathroom was nice and super clean (I thought of our dear friend Mike M when I saw how nice it was). For free beer they had on draft Bud, Michelob Ultra, an Amber, Fat Tire and an IPA. Both the Fat Tire and the IPA ran out before the end of the game so I switched to Bud! And the food. Soooo much! Burgers, dogs, bbq and brisket with all the sides and fixings you could ask for. From the suite you don't have to stay inside you can go out and join the crowd in a whole section of seats as well. I could keep going on about how great of a time I had, but I think you have caught my drift by now. I hope to get spoiled again and get to go back!

    Technically, this review is for the Savannah, GA location--but since they don't have a Yelp page…read moreyet, I'm posting it here because everyone needs to know how amazing Switchyard is! We had something similar in Savannah a few years ago, but it closed, and I've missed having a work club ever since. So when I found out Switchyard was opening here, I literally jumped up and down with excitement! As a remote worker, I know how hard it can be to spend hours in a coffee shop without feeling guilty for taking up space. Switchyard solves that problem beautifully. I had the chance to preview the new Savannah location before it opened, and the atmosphere is absolutely perfect. I was worried it might feel too bright or overwhelming, but it's the exact opposite: warm, inviting lighting, plenty of seating options (from cozy nooks to larger tables), and enough space for everyone to feel comfortable and focused. Plus, they've partnered with some of the best local coffee spots--Origin and PERC--so you can enjoy amazing coffee while you work. And the coolest part? THEY'RE OPEN 24 HOURS! I can't wait to experience the Savannah location once it officially opens. I'm beyond excited to have a space like this in our city!

This workspace cooperative is great for all types of individuals looking for a place to work or network even! The areas are well laid out, organized and clean. Great effort went into the detail of planning this space! The staff are friendly and you can't be at 24/7 access. Especially for those 3am crunch work sessions or moments when you can't sleep and want to be productive but everything around you is distracting! Plus with the membership you can visit ANY of the other 25 Switchyard locations! What a steal!
