Great chic hotel in one of the most desirable areas downtown Charleston. The hotel has changed over the years and the most recent remodeling effort has taken away all of the historic features of this property which we found disappointing. That said, it does have a modern, chic vibe so if you're into that, this hotel is a great option. We are did have a problem with unpleasant odors in the halls and coming from the stairwell that made its way into our room during part of one of the days during our stay.

Excellent staff, services, and a very cool looking place. Rooftop bar was great, and location of hotel was perfect. Rooms need some TLC though, as the building is old and converted. Overall, a great stay and would definitely consider staying again if in Charleston.
