Charleston, Historic District, Mount Pleasant or else where?

[Brent pigeon]

We are coming to Charleston in late October and we wondered whether we should stay in the Historic District or Mount Pleasant. There is a bigger choice of hotels in Mount Pleasant, in fact the historic district is expensive but then, perhaps it is the best place to be for a visitor (we do not drive). Are there enough attractions elsewhere in Charleston for us to stay somewher other than the Historic District?

This website is called answerbank.co.uk.

So UK means it is a UK (United Kingdom) based web site.

As your question relates, it seems, to the USA you may be better asking on a USA based web site.

Can you suggest one? I thought this one was used by people on both sides of the pond.

It is. We stayed in a Days Inn

within walking distance of the historic district. Nothing fancy, it's just a motel, but it was fairly cheap (this was about 5 years ago, you'd have to check again) and very convenient. There aren't really many attractions elsewhere in town - the further you get from the waterfront the more ordinary it is - but the historic district is wonderful and easily seen without driving. Have a good time.

that link seems to work ok despite the asterisks but if you're wondering, the missing letters are property ID - closed up they turn into an offensive word.
