Would stay again
Location was great, close to all the fun stuff without being in the party zone. Rooms were clean and plenty of space for luggage. Loved the steamer for pressing clothes and seriously the best hair dryer ever at a hotel!

Pros: Great location in Charleston within walking distances to all the major downtown spots. Updated hotel. Loved the coffee shop. Cons: not the cleanest room, beds were alright, but I’ve definitely had better in more affordable hotels. A lot of extra fees added on at the end of our stay, basically have to use valet if you have a car.

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.

Average accommodations. The best part of the hotel is merely the location otherwise very average hotel. Loud music plays all night at the bar downstairs. Desk staff not very helpful. Valet were the most competent staffers. Hotel charges a daily “amenities” fee for rentable bikes, the hotel restaurant and bar even if you use none of the “amenities.” Would stay somewhere else the next time we are in town.

Good but a little odd
My stay at the Ryder was nice, though the building layout is a bit odd. First for the good; my room was clean and seemed to have been recently refurnished, the staff was friendly and the location is hard to beat. My room was located on the 4th floor, for which there is no good way to reach from the lobby. The front of the building is only three stories, so to reach the 4th floor one has to either walk all the way around the second of third floor or cut through the garage. I would suggest to hotel management to make improvements to the garage finishes, lighting and signage to make this rout more appealing.

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.

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.
