RED street names indicate where hotels offer

(click on

| Be
prepared to walk. Market Street (lots of shops), the various
historical points/museums, Battery Park and East Battery Street, are
somewhat scattered. Forget about driving your car - there is almost no
legal parking except at your motel and, if you're very lucky, along E.
Battery Street. Actually, everything is within easy walking range but,
CAUTION! Wear thick-soled shoes. Charleston's coble stones will get to you
very quickly. And watch your step; it is very easy to trip. All the motels
are conveniently located. No matter where you choose to stay, you will
have to do some walking. But it is well worth it. |

About Charleston
March, April,
May and early June - and again in the late autumn, are the great months to
visit Charleston. Flowers burst forth in the early spring and, if your
residence is in a northern climate, you will really appreciate the way
Charleston's moist sea air cuddles you and does a complete thaw. (Of
course, in the late summers, that is the last thing you want.) Downtown is
splattered with all kinds of historic highlights (you'll have to do some
walking) and the Battery is a must see: a lovely park, benches to sit on,
trees for ample shade, and a view of the harbor which is constantly
changing. Bring a bag lunch - most everyone (who is in the know) does.
The famous ante-bellum plantations are out SC-61 (Ashley River
Road) except Boone Hall which is out past Mount Pleasant just off US-17.
Charleston has several memorials (reminders) of various wars the
United States has survived: The Revolutionary War, Civil Way and WW-II are
primarily represented. A collection of World War II ships across the river
from Charleston is a sobering reminder of what it took to preserve our
freedom. Charleston is an education but it is also a lot of fun. Please
enjoy!
Reserving a room in a fine hotel in the Charleston area is very easy here on Reserv-Net.net. Just select the community with a left-click of your
mouse and then select the hotel of your choice. You can even request
desired amenities. |
