The staff was great with the exception of one valet attendant. (Tip: text the valet for your car when you leave your room so the car is ready when you’re downstairs.)

Ryder is a cute, well-appointed boutique hotel close to King St, the Historic District and The French Quarter. Food and drinks from Little Palm was excellent and the Coffee Counter has the tastiest lattes and good quick breakfast options on-the-go. I would definitely stay at Ryder again and hope they have more sister properties across the US.

We had a good stay with the exception of the add-on amenity prices. We booked online and was told it would be $179 at check, but when we checked in, we were told it was $400 in amenitities. We had to pay for the pool, which we never got to get in bc there were no chairs available or it rained. We did walk out to the pool area and there were wads of hair floating in it. To rent a Cabana, which was two chair and an umbrella, it was $300 an hour. Yikes! We paid for a safe that was in our room, and never used it. The walls were very thin and we could hear our neighbors and people running around. The drinks at The Palm were rather pricey for one can of beer $12 and a small cup of margarita for $14. Plus we had to either pay for Valet parking for about $50 a day or park in the public parking lot 2 blocks over for $24 a day. Plus it stated on the website we were suppose to have Ryder Hotel robes, and we never seen them. We did not have a balcony and when we asked the front desk questions, they had no answer and had to wait to find someone who knew the answer. I like the decor and beds were comfy. So all in all, we would probably not come back due to the outrageous price! After paying for the online cost, the cost for parking everyday and the amenities it was almost $2500. We are OFFICIALLY broke now.

Hotel was clean and the staff were decent. The lobby staff were good but everyone else lacked. Paid $58 for parking and they wouldn’t even grab our bags or do anything but park your car. Plus $38 for the resort fee which they gave you a sheet of paper to explain 4 or 5 things you get with high speed WiFi being one of them which it was not high speed. People working the coffee bar were in terrible moods and bartenders by the pool were hard to find. When you finally got up to get a drink yourself, you find them all huddled behind the bar inside. Room was tiny for the price and then you add $100 per day in fees and this place is a terrible value. I will not stay here again. Pool was tiny and not enough chairs for how many rooms they have. You have to get out there by 8am to have a chance. There are so many better options in this town.

The online pictures make the hotel and its common spaces look better than it is in person. The upholstery on the dining benches is dirty, I had to move my seat. Also, it’s hard to find staff, or get anyone on the phone at the front desk and for room service. I saw many employees on their phones. For the room, the bed was comfortable, room was spacious, but it’s all hardwood with no rug and the shower couldn’t stay at one temperature for very long. Small fridge in the room, which is good if you need that. Overall, I felt like a bunch of distracted kids were running the place; I wouldn’t recommend when there are so many other places to stay. Leave this one to the kids.

Rooms were clean, picture of the pool is very deceiving online it’s not big at all. Pool lounge chairs are always taken by people putting their stuff on them in the morning and not returning until a hour or so later. The conversation sets at the pool are “reserved only” for $300/hr (were empty majority of the day) which does not leave a lot of room for the guests staying wanting to be by the pool. You’d think for as much as you pay to stay some of these amenities would be available for guest with no fee.

The room and property are clean and cute. Downfall: pool is extremely small and half the pool is book only with a $300 fee for two hours. You have a 2 hour limit on your pool chair and there are only 10 pool loungers. They should remove their reserved with a fee spot and add loungers for their guests. The air in the room goes off when you leave the room. Which then every time you come back to the room it is 80 degrees. When wanted a late checkout we had to pay. Never got a room upgrade which isn’t the end of the world but when wanting a late checkout having to pay. We paid for an hour and wanted to extend again for another hour which they did offer so said she has already done it once for us and is not extending again. I think the staff could be more friendly. The pool servers were hit and miss on being friendly. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfy. Room setup is nice.

It was a solid stay overall if you have reasonable expectations knowing this is a 3 star hotel. The room was large and comfortable and clean. The pool area was hit or miss - quite small and at times overcrowded and dirty, lots of cups piled up everywhere, other times not too crowded and cleaned up. Staff veered from friendly to indifferent and slow. Overall it was a decent price for the location and having a pool at times was nice.

We arrived to really kind and helpful valet and staff at check-in. I was truly expecting a perfect time! We had booked a Junior Suite...

The room was mediocre and the floors were filthy. The smell of damp mildew hit us when we walked through the door. The window sills looked like that had major leaks for years and maybe that's why the smell. Opened the fridge and nearly passed out as there was a fish odor so horrific emanating that whole area (my daughter has meds to go in the fridge..yikes). The overall suite, which btw is not really a suite, was underwhelming. We booked Ryder b/c it was one of the few hotels with a pool. Excited and sweating in the insane heat we went to the pool only to find no seats except a small crammed cocktail table. The pool was packed people on top of people, rap blaring on the speakers and no peace at all. If you like the more party-like pool scene this will be a blast. I was looking for clean, quiet and upscale. The staff was kind enough to move us to a sister property but we had to get all our luggage ourselves, no offer to help with the transfer at all. Not a good experience.

This property is in a great location. This is definitely not a place for families or couples over 40. The pool was packed every day with young adults, most having bought day passes, thus the accommodations around the pool were not accessible to the hotel guests. In the evening, the restaurant turns into more of a bar for young singles. This is not a bad thing, just something to be aware of when making plans. Also, the air conditioning is motion activated so if you leave your room for any length of time or at night when you are sleeping, it reverts to 78 degrees, which keeps the room over 80 degrees or higher. This is very uncomfortable in the heat of a Charleston summer. Again, a nice hotel in a great location and for the right customer would be a great fit.

I stayed in 2 different rooms while at the Ryder and had an interesting experience with each. The first room was the “budget” room and I don’t think I could have expected the level of budget this room really was. There was such little room that I could barely walk around the room without running into the furniture. There is not one drawer or closet in the room and has a desk an essentially a stool so if you are trying to work, this is less than ideal. The walls are so thin I could hear conversations from all directions. The room was clean and modern, but that is all the good I could say. The second queen suite room was much better but quite a trek to get to, needing to take 2 elevators to the room. Now let’s talk amenities, the fact they call this a resort is comical. If you are coming for the pool, think again. They rent this area out via resort pass and is quite literally always crowded so good luck getting a seat. We had a situation where we booked a cabana through the hotel and then they gave it away to someone via resort pass with no real resolution. This was my bachelorette trip and the entire day became a disaster because of this experience. The look of this hotel is super cute, but service and “amentites” are quite ridiculous. Be prepared to pay an astronomical retainer on top of the loaded nightly fee and resort fee when checking in. They try to get you to fully spend this retainer via the $60 per day parking garage, room service and restaurant.

The location is hard to beat and the staff was very helpful. The gear locker is great for a day at the beach - chairs and a cooler are included in the resort fee. However, for the rather large resort fee, the pool is so small for a building that size that it’s crowded all day, making it almost unusable, and their parking is more than twice the price of a city garage. Little touches of cleanliness were absent - the hallway had the same dirt piles for days and the water dispensers had filters in need of changing the entire time we were there. Rooms are smaller than our friends had staying in nearby boutique hotels. Overall, location is the selling point, but other than that, I wouldn’t stay there again.

We were first timers to Charleston, so take this review with that in mind. This hotel is in a good location and very walkable to everything. It's also one of the rare historic district hotels with a pool, although the pool is quite small and fills up VERY fast. The hotel also seemed to cater to a younger crowd with a DJ in the restaurant every night blasting music until 10pm outside our window. We saw a giant cockroach scurry across the pool area from the Little Palm restaurant, and we all know there isn't just one cockroach by itself! This made us wonder if that's why the Little Palm had wide open availability compared to most places nearby that were booked solid. The hotel in general is clearly going for like a California beach vibe, which it captured fairly well, but it needs some work. The carpet in the hallway was pretty dingy and beyond saving with a steam clean. Ceiling tiles in the hallway were drooping or fall off. The room was acceptable had we paid about 50%-60% of what it cost us to stay there. The shower had a bunch of mold in the grout and caulking. The mattress is not what you'd consider \"soft and comfortable\", but rather like sleeping on a pile of cardboard boxes folded up. I really don't like writing reviews like this, but we were so underwhelmed with this property that it felt appropriate to give others a heads up. We had very different expectations for the level of quality we'd be getting compared to the price that it cost us for this stay!

The hotel is clean and generally well maintained. We had some minor room issues with the door being poor fitting and letting in too much light/not being sealed well enough. The hotel pool is small but also well maintained. There is a party vibe and music is playing until 9p at the bars. We had a room over one of the bars and the room was very loud until 9p, perfect for a party crowd but not super relaxing. Would love to see them switch from the high packaging coffee creamer/sugar packets, one use coffee cups, etc to more eco friendly reusables.

The decor is beautiful in the lobby and common spaces, pool and restaurant were nice as well. However, the accommodations weren’t up to par with the price of the hotel. The lighting in the rooms was awful. We were on the 2nd floor and our room just had a dark window with an iron gate- no balcony even though there plenty of space so not sure why they put that there to not let natural light in. It felt like we were in a dungeon. Also took 3 phone calls and several Hours to bring up a steamer. Had to call multiple times because the shower drain was clogged and the room phone wasn’t working which still never got fixed. Furniture in the rooms felt very cheap and thrown together for the overall vibe of the hotel. Overall wasn’t impressed with the actual accommodations, just the decor in the common areas.

Great vibe and unbeatable location at the Ryder Hotel. We originally hoped to switch our king room to a double but were told the hotel was sold out. At check-in, the gentleman at the front desk let us know he had already placed a rollaway bed in our room for us — a great touch and much appreciated! The pool and bar scene were lively and fun, which really added to the experience. Only downside was the low water pressure in the shower. Other than that, it was a great stay!

The hotel itself had a great aesthetic, a beautiful pool area, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the actual room experience was very disappointing.

The room was extremely small for my husband, daughter, and myself. The space felt very cramped, including the bathroom, and it made the stay uncomfortable overall.

In addition, the TV in the room was broken and would not shut off unless it was unplugged. When I went behind the TV to unplug it, I discovered piles of dust built up behind it. Once the dust was disturbed, the air conditioning circulated it throughout the room, which unfortunately triggered an asthma flare-up.

To make matters worse, there was also hair left in the bathtub when I went to shower, which raised concerns about the cleanliness of the room.

While the property has a lot of potential aesthetically, the cleanliness, maintenance, and room size made this stay far below expectations.

Stayed one night and unfortunately had a disappointing experience, especially considering the price point. I already had a headache before arriving, and the first room had an extremely strong bleach odor that immediately made it worse. Even a staff member acknowledged how strong the smell was. I requested a room change, which the front desk accommodated, but later that evening I discovered dried blood stains on the bedding in the second room. At that point, since I was checking out early the next morning, I chose not to switch rooms again.

The staff was polite, and the location is great, but cleanliness and room quality are extremely important to me, especially at over $400/night. I expected a much better experience.

Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Valet was wonderful and fast. It was cold when we were there so we weren’t able to use most of the amenities. The coffee shop was delicious! Wish it was open the whole day! It’s very centrally located to downtown. Would stay here again!

The Ryder Hotel was amazing. The best part was the super comfortable mattress and pillows. The sheets were soft and high quality. I melted into the bed every night and had the best sleep of my life!!

The Hotel staff were very nice and engaging. Valet parking attendants very helpful. Great location. Standard room is adequate and has all of the amenities needed. The noise level from music at the pool level at night was intrusive. Bring a noise cancelling device. The coffee shop and morning restaurant openings need to be earlier. The room rate was $$$$ for graduation weekend. Overall, a good experience.

Spacious room with very comfortable beds and pillows. Pool and bar like an oasis. Definitely a relaxing vibe. Clean and furnished well. Coffee shop an added bonus too.

Onsite dining for all meals was a plus. Pool area was difficult to get limited seating that didn’t require a paid reservation. Very cute ambience. Some issues with the rooms. Left over contacts from previous guest on headboard. One cockroach in the room. Shower ran out of hot water by 3rd shower in a row. Tub didn’t drain well. Otherwise staff was very nice.

Gorgeous hotel in a prime location. But you should be aware that they charge a $38 amenity fee after your stay. (They advertise as all of these items included, no hidden fees, but then charge your card for this later)

The pool heater was broken. Water too cold for swimming. Coffee in room only made expresso. These two issues ruined my stay as I only book hotels with a pool and coffee. The coffee shop opened at 7am. I wake up at 5am. I really should have gotten a major discount. The hotel itself was fine. Good location.
