Disappointed
If you happened to be over 40, forget this hotel. Our room faced a wall, no toiletries, robes, Qtips, etc. When we called to see if they provided these things, they said no to everything. They called back and addressed my husband with “hey” do you still want robes? I guess they found some eventually. When I mentioned that we paid close to $500 for this room, and they were posting the same room for $100 less, no adjustment was offered. Overall the place was lacking in most departments. Think twice before booking.

4/10 Fair

The bed didn’t even have a fitted sheet. Just a top sheet laid over the mattress. I was double charged. Slow valet. Bathroom wasn’t clean. No mini fridge. About the equivalent to a holiday inn but still not even that decent. Over priced for what you get

The location of the Ryder is it exceptional. There is 24/7 front desk staff that are able to advise about dining, tours, beaches, shopping. Everything is walkable. This was the best of being in the city and also having relaxing pool vacation.

I love this hotel and have stayed 3 times. The condition is getting increasingly more worn in but they redid the patio area which was nice. Carpet may need to be replaced soon and some of the furniture needs reupholstering in the common areas.

The Ryder hotel is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. From the welcoming front desk to super clean room with all amenities. The decor is exquisite!! The pool area and bar are so inviting and beautifully decorated. The restaurant is a 5-star, the chef's creations are delicious. Would highly recommend this hotel over all others when visiting Charleston.

Gorgeous, boutique-sized hotel right in the heart of the city. We loved the cafe, the staff, and the pool! Friendly & helpful staff made the stay even better than imagined! While the rooms weren’t super quiet(due to other guests always talking in the hallways), we found that putting on white noise on (from our phones) worked like a charm!

We would go out all day and come back to an unmade up room, which is annoying. The pool is tiny so if you’re here on a weekend don’t expect to get in it! Room service is very overpriced.
