Axel's take: 8.2/10
A comfortable airport base with welcoming staff, but not a walkable Charleston getaway. a full-service, mid-range airport and business hotel, scored for what it is.
North Charleston Marriott is a full-service, mid-range airport hotel, and we'd pick it for business trips or a comfortable stop before flying. Recent Tripadvisor and Hotels.com guests repeatedly praise the welcoming staff, comfortable beds and generally clean rooms. The free airport shuttle, outdoor pool, round-the-clock gym and on-site restaurant make it a practical base without needing downtown surroundings to justify the stay.
The trade-off is location: this is car-oriented North Charleston, not the historic district outside your door. Parking and breakfast cost extra unless included in your booking. Some recent Tripadvisor guests describe room wear and housekeeping or lounge-service lapses, although those don't dominate the broader feedback. We'd skip it for a car-free sightseeing weekend; for airport access and full-service conveniences, it's a strong pick.
