Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
Staying at this hotel was simply amazing! The rooms were very clean and tastefully decorated, making my experience fantastic. The top floor Penthouse Suite with a wonderful, wrap-around balcony was a dream come true. The staff was delightful, helpful, and accommodating, always taking a keen interest in my comfort and enjoyment. The location is perfect, right in the Historic District, overlooking the Charleston Market. Although the dining experience was excellent, it's important to note that dining is not included in the rate. Overall, a great stay with top-notch service and unbeatable views!
The hotel offers average rooms that need some updating but are large and comfortable. The service is excellent, with friendly staff who go above and beyond. The location is perfect for exploring Downtown Charleston Historic District and French Quarter. The dining options are good, although some dishes can be bland. The facilities are well-maintained and provide a pleasant stay.
The hotel exudes an elegant charm and provides a cozy ambiance with its classic sitting room featuring a fireplace and tasteful artwork that instantly makes you feel at home. While the stately rooms offer luxurious over-stuffed beds and lovely linens, the disappointment arises from the expectation of a personal balcony, only to find chairs outside the front door.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The location was excellent, right in the heart of Charleston with easy access to shopping and restaurants. The room, although not as luxurious as expected, had thoughtful touches like coffee and shutters. The service was top-notch, with the staff being attentive and efficient. However, the dining options were limited, and extra charges applied.
