  • Location.
  • Concierge service was unfriendly.

“Wonderful city. Nice location. However, the concierge was very rude and short with us when we inquired about many things. A smile was never offered and her whole attitude was distasteful. Everything would have been wonderful if she had not been a point of contact.”

  • The staff was very helpful when it came to activities and restaurant/bar recommendations.
  • The room amenities aren't the best.

“We stayed at this hotel because of its location and staff helpfulness. As 5 guys doing a college reunion thing, we were less concerned about the size of the room or the amenities, which was good, because the rooms are plain. For me, personally, I am ok with a hotel as long as it is clean, safe and comfortable which this hotel definitely was. Since we had done very little planning for the trip it was really great that the staff had so much information like driving directions to the beach, restaurant menus and general knowledge of nightlife. We really enjoyed our stay and the hotel was definitely a factor in our enjoyment!”

  • The staff is friendly and responsive.
  • The room was excessively damp, and the furnishings and bath need updating.

“The friendly staff and location are the two things that the hotel has going for them. Our room was very damp and musty; the room needs to be updated and refreshed.”

  • Our concierge was so helpful during our weekend stay. Helped us get dinner reservations when we arrived late due to the airline arrival.

“Great location, an easy walk to many attractions. charming lobby with fireplace, pleasant to sit and have a drink. Pleasant staff upon arrival, and a fabulous concierge, with great suggestions on how best to enjoy your visit to Charleston.”

  • Room was extremely well decorated and spacious for the price range.
  • Neighborhood was a bit questionable, with a lot of people walking about late at night.

“Overall, an excellent value for the room rate. Hotel was located in a good location in the Historic District. Room reminded me of a very upscale hotel, even though the room rate was reasonable for the geographic location. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Only complaint was that the hotel ran out of parking locations, and we had to park across the street at a church. Thankfully, the church loaned the parking lot to the hotel at no charge; therefore, no difficulty was experienced in parking.”

  • Concierge - was extremely helpful.
  • Room could use some updating - wall paper was peeling and loose fixtures in bathroom.

“Overall - we had a pleasant experience. For the price I thought it was a good value. Not the best location for exploring old Charleston - but not bad if you like to walk. The staff was excellent - including the concierge who was almost over the top with enthusiasm for his city.”

  • I loved the view of the city.
  • The location could have been better.

“Overall the stay was awesome. The only problem that my spouse and I encountered was a little bit of drug trafficking less than one block from the hotel. With saying that, I do have to commend the Police department for keeping a close eye on the area.”

  • The hotel was within walking distance of the historic district.

“The room was very clean and had a microwave and small cooler. You feel welcome from the time you walk in the front door, for example they offered apples at the check in desk. They had a person on staff that could tell you about the different shops and areas to eat. Everyone was friendly. I enjoyed drinking mixed drinks while I was setting in a rocking chair outside of the front entrance. The pool area was small but that is not why you could come to Charleston.”

  • That the staff was so friendly & helpful with every question we had.
  • The extra price we had to pay to park each day in hotel parking lot.

“The staff was very friendly and helpful in deciding what to do on our trip. Very clean and pretty. I believe that more could be done with maintenance. In the room we stayed in the bathroom sink needed to be caulked inside was a big gap, and the phone next to bed would not stay plugged in. A/c unit needed to be cleaned & the windows would be better if they had screens on them.”
