I revisited with a friend and walked the hotel in September. Nothing has changed...The hotel is located between two noisy highways, the lobby is old and outdated despite recent minor remodeling job, the rooms are dingy and small also old in design, the halls are narrow and old with old timey murals painted in them along side the elevator. Very unpleasant and no significant amenities. The restaurant is on the 3rd or 8th floor and the food is frozen microwaved repotted leftovers. Don't believe me, see for yourself...However, you will overpay!!!!!

We visited Charleston this October and enjoyed great food and weather. Our stay at the Holiday Inn Riverview was relaxing and stress free, We really liked the renovations and the rooms were very nice. The mattress was one of the most comfortable I slept on in a hotel. Others comment on the road noise but we have stayed at multiple hotels and Inns around Charleston and it is no different. The Resturant area was cleaner and the breakfast buffet was amazing. We also enjoy the complimentary van to the Market area.
