Charleston is an AMAZING town with countless of historic places to stay. We have two room blocks at two different hotels.
These options will either be in the city - about 30 minuets away (traffic dependent), or in Mount Pleasant (closer to the venue).
Each hotel is setting aside 10 rooms each, so please book early if you are planning to stay with them.
