waterbug123 Posted May 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I live in the Charleston area so don't have specific hotel recommendations as I have no need to stay in area hotels. What I can tell you though, is that while the cruise terminal is downtown by the historic district, you generally will not find hotels downtown that allow you to leave your car (park and cruise) if that's what you were planning, and the the downtown hotels will usually be pricier. You'll find better options looking in either Mt. Pleasant or West Ashley. Mt. P is a separate town, but just over the Ravenel Bridge from downtown so quite convenient, and there are a slew of hotels near the base of the bridge on the Mt.P side. West Ashley is an area of Charleston, west of downtown and across the Ashley River. There are a slew of hotels along Hwy 17/Savannah Hwy. West Ashley hotel rates are probably better than Mt.P, but Mt.P may be closer to downtown, and some consider the area to be nicer than the Savannah Hwy area. (West Ashley itself is fine, but the part of Savannah Hwy where hotels are is an endless commercial chain of shopping centers, car dealers, chain hotels/motels etc.) Ultimately either area is fine for a single night pre-cruise hotel stay.

carguy Posted May 12, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Thanks for the reply. We definitely need a place where we can leave our car for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcvtmom Posted May 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2019 We did a Park and Cruise package from Sleep Inn (Savannah Hwy.). It was excellent! They use Charleston Limo to shuttle back and forth. It was clean, upkept, reasonably priced, and had a delicious breakfast included. We have 2 more cruises from Charleston booked, and plan to stay with them again.

cc75 Posted May 15, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Mr. Pleasant just across the bridge last year. If you're a Hilton Honors member (free to join) you can park for free up to 8-days. Uber ride each way was less than $15.00.

Was it easy to get an Uber and was it pretty simple getting dropped off by Uber at the terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc75 Posted May 19, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Extremely easy. Got an Uber XL both ways no issue. Suggest crossing road from port to get picked up to go back to the hotel. Much quicker that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted May 20, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 20, 2019 We like the Springhill Suites in Mt. P. It's about $20 for an UberXL to port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
