Charleston Kiawah Island/Andell Inn

Amazing family getaway! This beautiful 3-story hotel made us feel like we were in another country. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and we loved the live music and mimosas in the morning! ​The beach is pristine and very clean. We even got lucky and saw dolphins swimming right along the shore! Being so close to the shops at Freshfields Village made everything so easy. Highly recommend for a relaxing family trip near Charleston!

This is not your typical Residence Inn. The décor is so inviting and restful. There was artwork all over the resort. The cleanliness was the best I have ever seen in a Residence Inn. The staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also better than standard Residence Inn including Mimosas. What a great place to stay!!! They know how to do first class hospitality!

The hotel is located in a nice location - close to the beach and Charleston. I love the Fresh Field Village within proximity and there’re varieties of stores including grocery shopping. Lobby, decor and art are well thought out. It’s enjoyable to walk around the hotel. I also enjoyed sitting outside looking out the lake view. Complimentary breakfast was sufficient and fresh. I appreciated a new option each day. I hope one day there’ll be Andell Inn’s breakfast signature. Hotel staff were polite, very nice and attentive to detail. When I walked toward the front door, staff around there (if any) asked if I was going in and opened the door for me. When requested for bath amenities at front desk, I was also asked if I had enough fresh towel. As I was walking to the room, someone waited i

Easily one of the top 3 hotels I’ve stayed at in the past 20 years. This place perfects what an authentic Charleston experience should be—exceptional accommodations, curated boutique shopping, and seriously delicious food, all right there basically on the same property. But here’s what really sets it apart: the staff. We’ve stayed at a lot of hotels over the years, and the genuine southern hospitality here was next level. Every interaction felt thoughtful and personal, not scripted or robotic. They clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows. My wife and I are already planning our return trip. If you’re looking for the real Charleston experience without the tourist trap nonsense, this is it.

An exemplary hotel experience in all regards. Room is spacious, very clean, with updated furnishings and electronics. Mini kitchen with full size fridge, stove top, prep area and sink, with all dishes and Ute sips are very convenient. There were no surprises upon arrival with a pleasant and efficient check in and a room ready on time. All interactions with staff have been pleasant and helpful; over 5 days not a negative interaction but many very pleasant ones. Breakfast is most definitely in the top tier of all Marriott properties serving a free meal. Fresh, real eggs, a variety of meats, biscuits and gravy, a variety of fruits and veggies, and limited pastries and breads. If you’re diabetic or gluten free you’ll find a good meal here. Proximity to shops, eateries, and the beach is very ea
