  good location.

• Friendly, and accommodating staff.
• Rooms wall need painting.

“Downtown-like location, with a nearby parking garage with $12.00 self-park in and out Privileges. Extra friendly, staff couldn’t be more helpful. Room OK, needs some painting for marks and scratches on wall. Bathroom was way too small for adults. Old fashioned tub with shower and toilet was in an uncomfortable position. Reasonable walking distances to nearby attractions, but could have been 4 blocks closer for our handicapped person in the group.”

• Great staff!! They were very helpful and made our stay excellent.
• The room and bathroom in the room are very small.

“This hotel had a nice public area. The room was nice but very small. The bathroom was also small. The Starbucks attached to the hotel was a plus!”

• Gorgeous, luxurious main lobby.
• No swimming pool in 96 degree heat.

“Tries hard for 4 stars and almost makes it. Valet/bellboy staff works hard but understaffed. Rooms were quiet and noise proof, poor views, great beds. Inconvenient self-parking.”

• Centrally located, walked everywhere in the city.
• Some of the fixtures needed upgraded.

• Location.
• Thin walls.

“Staff was very friendly, excellent location in downtown Charleston. Older hotel and bathrooms reflect that. Could hear every word spoken in the room next to us - extremely thin walls.”

• Beautiful bedding, very clean, friendly and perfect location.
• Air conditioning was hard to regulate. Halls were freezing, but not a big issue.

“We were thoroughly pleased.”

• Very historic.
• AC was broken and never got fixed until 4:30 am on the last day of our stay.

“Very small room, only queen bed, cramped and
AC was broken and very outdated.”

• When problems occurred, staff responded quickly and appropriately.
• Felt old, but not elegant. Had to change rooms twice.

“Despite having to change rooms twice because of a check-in problem and an air conditioning failure, I felt the staff responded quickly and appropriately. The rooms are good sized with updated furniture, beds, televisions, etc. However, those expecting a renovated and updated environment will likely be disappointed. Although clean, the hotel clearly feels dated.”

• Ambiance and staff and location.
• Carpet could use upgrading in publice spaces.

“Absolutely loved this historical hotel. Rooms have been redone and are very comfortable with a tranquil cozy feel. Had a problem with the heat and a maintains person arrived within five minutes of my call to front desk even though it was after 10 pm and quickly fixed the issue. Service very good and location can not be beat. Fellow guests were friendly and I enjoyed talking with several in lobby while I waited on my family.”
