I'm looking for an affordable but nice Charleston hotel to block off for my out of town guests.  The wedding is in June.  I'd like to find something around the $100 price point, Is this realistic for a June Charleston wedding?

    My wedding is on Memorial Day and we have a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn Express in Mt. Pleasant. It's right off the bridge so it's not far from downtown, and a bit more affordable than staying right in the city. Cabs aren't too expensive if you are going to be drinking downtown.

    I've contacted them.  It was a nice hotel, but the rate they quoted me (over $150 a night) was more than I'd like to make my guests pay.  Does anyone know of a decent hotel closer to $100?  I'd consider something a little further from downtown.

    Where is your reception?  I'm also using the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Mt. Pleasant, but might be able to make other suggestions if I knew more about your venues.

    Check out Comfort Suites West of the Ashley.  With minimal traffic, it is about a 15 min drive into downtown.  We had some family stay here for our wedding and it is convenient to the airport (right at the end of 526 at HWY 17) and it is a fairly new hotel.  They have some nice suites too if people would like more room to spread out.  Our family was very pleased with it.

    Try priceline! You go to group rates and name your price...hotels make bids and youre able to book the block with no obligation. Worked like a charm for me!
