interesting stay recs

hi all! my gf and i are looking to do a weekend getaway to Charleston (originally this weekend but lodging prices look to be very expensive so we are thinking of doing sunday to tuesday instead) and are looking for interesting places to stay at!

we have a budget of about $200 a night (ideally less) and are looking in the downtown (historic?) area.

any recommendations would be highly appreciated! i understand locals do not usually stay at hotels so hopefully looking for recs from fellow tourists.
