"The TV in our room never worked properly. I told the front desk the first day and asked again. No one ever came to check the TV. It was out of focus. Also, the site advertised free breakfast and a pool; there was no breakfast at all… not even coffee in lobby and the pool was drained. The staff did not offer alternatives to breakfast even though there was a place attached to one part of the hotel. I thought it was closed. My room was clean but the stairs and outside was not swept and sloppy....

"My daughter and I came to Charleston for a long weekend and our stay at the Ryder was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean and the location was GREAT! It was convenient that they offer beach towels among other things for day trips. Also, we used the $10 daily credit to get some rice pudding dessert and it was delicious. I highly recommend the Ryder and would gladly stay here again."
