The property is beautiful. However, the room was very musty and there was mold around the shower.

If you’re looking for southern hospitality or historic Charleston charm, the Vendu is not for you. If you’re looking for a concierge or even a front desk, keep looking. We found staff pleasant but not effective. There was zero info available about Charleston or knowledgeable advice for visitors. The Vendu is heavy on glitz but short on hospitality.

Linda, thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize if you felt we fell short on the Hospitality side. As you can probably see from other reviews, that is not representative of our standards and we hope to have another chance to impress you. Best Regards,
