Very few signs making it difficult to use the valet when driving in. It was also difficult to find the parking- which was not connected with hotel.

Hi KP, thank you for choosing to stay with us during your recent visit to Charleston. We apologize that finding our valet lane was difficult when coming into town. This is something that will be brought to the attention of management. Thank you so much for you feedback.

Clean beautiful hotel, comfortable beds, pleasant staff and conveniently located parking next door. There’s also a wonderful restaurant/bar, and Starbucks located near the entrance of the hotel. There’s a small gym, as well as a truly amazing day spa, located on the lower level. If you’re looking to relax after a long day of sightseeing, visit the spa for a massage, I highly recommend it!!
