Not worth it.
If you're going for the pool, it's great, otherwise the room had a view of a brick wall and the HVAC was so loud. The fitness center was at a hotel down the street. The resort fee or whatever was highway robbery.

Charleston - Southern Charm with a modern twist
A great hotel with access to food, history, and shopping all within walking distance. Every staff member I interacted with was kind, and friendly, and went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of. Wonderful vibe to the hotel.

Clean, good location, lots of bass
Hotel was clean and location was good. My room was facing the pool/patio area and my room sounded like a nightclub until 11PM every night. It was not relaxing or comfortable.

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.

Very nice stay. We enjoyed everything this hotel had to offer. Only one issue with noise because our room was facing the courtyard. The bar was playing music that was very audible when trying to sleep.

The Ryder is a fantastic hotel! The location is perfect - walkable to many things in Charleston. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the sitting area off the pool is serene, the pool is such a wonderful place to relax and have a cocktail or breakfast, the food is delicious, and the rooms are comfortable. One unique feature is the shop where bikes, coolers, cameras, etc are for guest use! Definitely aplace to stay in Charleston and we will be back!

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was close enough to all the attractions around Charleston but when you are in your room or lounging in the pool area you feel that insulation from the outside to allow for relaxation. The hotel is clean, comfortable and modern. The theme is beach but there’s no sand and grit. This is a perfect place to stay for a long weekend get away for couples or friends. There is a fantastic patio bar that has knowledgeable and competent mixologists and it has that nice lounge feel without the creepy hotel bar feel. I would definitely stay here again. Funny enough our trip originally had us staying one night and then changing hotels to stay in another part of the city. When we checked into our next hotel we found it so disappointing and sad that I went online and booked the rest of our stay at the Ryder. We check out of sad hotel and went back to the haven where we enjoyed the rest of our trip.
