Amazing get away

A beautiful spot of quiet right in the midst of everything! The staff were and so very helpful! Our room is everything I hoped for and more! I had a business trip right after our anniversary trip and the Pinch has in room washer and dryers! I was able to get my laundry done quickly and efficiently in my own time! Our room had a small little terrace that we were able to enjoy our coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening! When we go back to Charleston the Pinch will be the first place we book!

Absolutely a superb (5-Star) experience; from check-in to my one night’s stay to my check-out, The Pinch property has cornered the market on Par Excellence! I eagerly anticipate my next stay there … Highest Recommendation for The Pinch as a first-choice while staying in Charleston.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved our dinner next door and the room was beautiful, albeit no view or balcony. The only real negative feedback we have was that, despite the noise machine they provide for you, we did not sleep at all. The traffic noise was horrible all night and there was screaming, loud motorcycles, and loud traffic noise coming at all hours of the night. Perhaps Friday night on and around King Street is too rowdy but we never had this problem at other hotels on the same road. We could hear EVERYTHING and was jolted out of bed multiple times with loud banging and motorcycles/motorbikes. Perhaps better insulted windows would solve this problem.
