Charleston place to stay...

I have a new interest in my life (a guy I graduated HS with).  So far things are going wonderful.  HE lives in Prosperity where I will be moving in a few months.  He is taking off a couple of day of my spring break and we are wanting to visit Charleston.  Looking online the prices are rather high during that time of the year.  April 3-5.  Anyone have a place we could rent or a less expensive place.  As much as I would love to stay downtown, don't think we could afford it.  We both love to party so having somewhere to walk might be a good idea.  ALthough, he would get me anywhere I wanted to go.....I know....awwwww......I am so happy.  He just feels right....nothing has felt this right in years......Just looking for some suggestions.

I actually started looking at different websites also, and I think the cheapest I found was about $68/night. I'm not sure if you would find anything cheaper than that with out having to stay so far away from downtown. There aren't too many in the downtown area that aren't expensive. The only suggestion I have is to either stay further north or stay with a friend. Good Luck with the search!! Misha

Hi Rachel....glad you are doing good and found a new sweetheart.  Just know that you have to find yourself and know you would be okay by yourself befoe jumping into anything.....you can say yes mamma now...lol.  Seriously, even though I have had a bit of a whirlwind romance, I was by myself for a year and 1/2 before I met Jerry.  I was quite content being by myself and really wasn't looking for a relationship...it just kinda happened.  Okay, you can say yes mamma now...lol As for a place to stay, DT Charleston is pricey any way you look at it.  I will ask around and see if anyone has some ideas....take care!

Yes mom.....thanks for the advice.  I appreciate it.  We are taking things a bit slower....he is scared to death of commitment and quite frankly I guess I should be too. Rachel

I stayed at a Ramada Inn is summerville when I went to charleston for my b-day last year.  It was pretty nice, they had an indoor and outdoor pool.  It was about a 15 min drive to downtown but for the price I think it was worth it.  I think we paid $80/night.  Hope this helps!
