We had a lovely room on the third floor. The room was clean with comfortable beds. My favorite part of the hotel was the rooftop pool. Quiet, relaxing, and delicious lunch. Classy hotel. Convenient to all the great shops and restaurants.

I loved the location, it was close to everything. The roof top pool and bar was very nice. The hotel reminded me of being in Paris. The coffee , juice and pastries were a nice touch each morning.

Nice staff but didn’t work for us

Staff was very nice and welcoming. They insist you valet and don’t tell you it ends up being $50 until you check out. The hotel has that antique smoke smell like your grandmother’s house. They said they had just replaced the mattresses but we found them uncomfortable and worn. Maybe we got a room without an updated bed. Didn’t work for us

Great property! The grand decor was lovely and very clean. Each floor had coffee and muffins every morning, and fruit during the day. That was a very convenient touch. The roof top pool was excellent and food was great. The lobby was very cool and I wish I had had time to dine at the steak restaurant. Very convenient to lots of cool restaurants and coffee shops. I am already booking another trip and will stay there again.

The hotel mistakenly charged me three times for almost $3000 coming out of my account. The room was not clean. It was not kept up my window overlooked a garage with cars coming in and out and parking right by the window was very noisy in the hallway, it was the worst experience for almost $900 a night. I’m disgusted.

Perfect stay

We had the perfect stay the location is excellent the staff very friendly and helpful. So many nice perks like bottled water in your room the coffee and pastries put out in the morning is very nice with real coffee cups not paper and the cookies put out in the afternoon were delicious. The beds are comfy and having a robe is a nice touch and the high end brand of toiletries was a super nice surprise ! We will definitely refer friends to stay here !

Amazing location and beautiful property. The staff was excellent as well. There was no room service menu in the room, so i had to ask for one. The food was excellent. Charleston in a great town and the hotel made it even better.
