Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The dining space is entirely too cramped and breakfast buffet was plain annoying to be at so not worth the cost. The rooms / beds are very comfortable and clean but I can get that at a Mario courtyard. The bright spot of this place is the roof top patio but had no service there. So bottom line lacked the value for the money spent.

This is a really nice hotel, but is lacking food service beyond a reasonable breakfast buffet. Charleston is, of course, an incredible restaurant town, so dinner is not an issue. But there's nothing nearby for a quick lunch. If they could address that, it'd be 5-stars. One tip: request a room that is NOT on the alley; the morning garbage collection reverberates loudly.

Choose this hotel, it’s a winner!

If you’re looking for a hotel in Charleston, stop scrolling, THIS is it! You’ll be pampered as soon as you arrive. There are snacks and cold drinks in your room for you, a manager’s happy hour, as well as a free cocktail/mocktail upon arrival. Turn down service comes with a complimentary treat, and there’s also a lovely free hot breakfast in the morning! The rooms are very clean, roomy, and quiet. The bathroom has everything you could possibly need with a large walk in shower and 2 sinks. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. There is a rooftop sitting area with couches and tables with a nice view of the city. There’s a small bar up there, but wasn’t open as we were there on an off time and it was cold. The bar in the lobby served a very nice mixed drink. The location was great for shopping at the market was right down the street, along with many different shops, pounds, and restaurants. I will definitely stay here any time I’m in the area, everyone who works there was so nice and helpful. Go ahead and book it, you won’t be sorry!
