The elevator in the parking deck was broken. $20 to self parking and depending on the time of day we had to park 5 flights up. Completely irresponsible to make customers do that. And they still have the nerve to charge extra for valet.

The staff were wonderful. Bellhops were so helpful with the bridal party. The food in the restaurant was amazing which can be unusual for hotel food. The rooms were clean the bathrooms a little small. We were there the graduation weekend for Charleston college around the corner so the street was busy and a little noisy in the evening.
