Welcome College of Charleston Visitors

The Fairfield Inn & Suites Charleston Downtown, located at 144 Bee St, opened in November 2025 as the only Fairfield property in downtown Charleston. The hotel offers convenient proximity to MUSC, the VA Hospital, and The Citadel, and sits just a few blocks from the Historic Downtown district. The College of Charleston campus is approximately 1.1 to 1.6 miles away, a manageable distance depending on which part of campus you’re heading to making it a practical base for university visitors, prospective students, and faculty travelers.
Getting between the hotel and campus is straightforward. The downtown DASH trolley has a stop directly in front of the hotel, providing an easy, low-cost connection into the heart of downtown and toward campus. The area also earns a high walkability score, and the relatively flat terrain of the Charleston peninsula makes cycling a viable option as well. Rideshares like Uber and Lyft are widely available throughout downtown for those who prefer a direct door-to-door option.
The hotel’s amenities are well-suited to the budget-conscious university traveler. Guests enjoy a complimentary hot breakfast featuring eggs, sausage, make-your-own waffles, fruit, yogurt, and whole grain options, along with a seasonal outdoor pool, fitness center, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The 129-room property offers a reliable and comfortable stay at a moderate price point, which is a plus for anyone traveling on a university reimbursement budget.
