I'm planning on moving with wife and child to the Charleston area come May. For now, I'm planning a brief trip to the area to get a PO Box address for job applications. I'm going to swing through Asheville to get my 28 year old brother, then head down. We'd love to have a great time and because he's an Ashevillian, of course you know he's into the cultural aspect of locales.
I've searched for the good bars and I think I can trust some online reviews, but having trouble trying to match things up for a decent price. Comfort Inn on the peninsula and walking to King and East Bay? Staying in Mt. Pleasant or North Charleston and taxiing?
Any recommendations for where to stay for a few nights and if it's better to be within walking distance vs. taxi?
Meeting and Calhoun streets, there is a hotel there used to be a Holiday Inn, now I think it is a Marriot chain but that is a real nice walkable location and it isn't real expensive...
So I'm getting the sense that it's better to stay downtown and not even bother with a cheaper hotel in the Islands with a taxi...
Well that would be the funnest and most convenient since you're looking for bars. I don't see that many taxi's downtown... but maybe someone else can speak to that.

Correct. And I second the Best Western downtown. Very walkable location.
