Property was beautiful, room was perfect just wish it came with a refrigerator and microwave only reason I can’t give 5 stars. Restaurant attached had really great food. Only other complaint is it can be loud during nights it’s open until midnight could hear the music loud from my room. Other than that i had a great stay and appreciate the room service very much

Has been one of our favorite places to stay. However the actual hotel basic functions have suffered a s the management and staff pay more and more attention to the bars, restaurant, and entertainment space. It’s become a very popular bar. The hotel rooms now seem to be a second property. We had major AC problems. And the rooms remain dark, in need of several more lamps, including a desk lamp for the desk. Appears to be a fair amount of staff turnover as well. We saw now familiar faces this time and we’ve stayed there 8-10 times since they opened.

The Ryder Hotel was amazing! The staff was delightful! The pool was great and the outdoor area was awesome, with the huge fireplace and fabulous outdoor bar. Felt like we were in a boutique resort. The decor was beach boho chic, I wanted everything off the wall! The coffee shop and The Little Palm restaurant in the hotel were both wonderful. I have nothing bad to say, we will definitely be back!!

We had a nice stay. Did not realize there was a $35 fee daily for amenities I guess we should have used those amenities more. They need to hand out little cards saying that you get $10 off of breakfast because we did forget when you come in Traveling and they rattle off a bunch of stuff we did not remember the $10 breakfast per room so we wasted that $30. $50 day parking. Nice pool to relax by, coffee shop. $8 muffin. I guess it is Charleston though everything is probably a little bit overpriced.

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.
