Lodging

Without question, lodging is expensive near COFC.  We don't have a central hotel we're staying at or anything.

As with any city, options get cheaper as you move away from downtown. Try google maps. 

 

We're staying with friends.

 

If you're visiting from out of town and really trying to save $$$ you may want to consider James Island County Park http://www.ccprc.com/index.aspx?NID=68

It has a waterpark, great camping sites, coffee in the morning.  It's about 10-15 minutes away.

  

We did get an email from a nice lady at Hilton Garden Inn North Charleston offering a contract free discount group rate of $94, but it's not near COFC and I know nothing about this Hotel -- use at your own risk.
