Charleston hotel check-in age guide

18+ and 21+ check-in lists

Use the list that matches the question. The 18+ page is every reviewed hotel whose current minimum is 18 or lower, including a hotel that also publishes an extra condition. The check-in-at-21 page includes every reviewed hotel a 21-year-old meets on the listed minimum, including hotels that also allow 18 and hotels with an extra condition. Conflicting, unknown and expired age reviews stay on this city guide and off those two lists. A hotel that requires older than 21 is in the “21 or older” count and is not on the check-in-at-21 list.

Compare the exact address before booking

These reviewed properties are a starting sample, not every hotel in the city. The age-18 result below uses the current recorded policy; ID and payment still need their own checks.

Three separate checks to make with the hotel

1. Age: give your age on arrival and the exact property address. Ask about any accompanying-adult requirement. Do not infer an exception from a prepaid booking.
2. ID: ask which current documents the arriving guest must show. An unstated requirement is not permission to arrive without ID.
3. Payment: ask about physical and debit cards, the cardholder's presence, and the incidental authorization amount, currency, basis and release timing. General cash or credit-card acceptance does not answer these questions.

Keep the property's written reply with your reservation. See our ID checklist and evidence method.
