Parking garage directly across the street is very convenient and public transportation is at both ends of the street. Daily wine and cheese reception is very nice. The room was very comfortable, my only wish was for a microwave oven and an in room coffee maker. Coffee is available daily in the courtyard which is nice unless it’s raining, and it did.

This is in a great area with loads of restaurants and shopping on the doorstep. Staff were friendly and helpful. Happy Hour was a nice touch. The property could use a bit of a refresh and I heard other guests complaining about the in-room AC units being loud or not working efficiently. We might stay again, but it’s an expensive area of Charleston for lodging and I wouldn’t call this a bargain. For us it was worth not having to drive around all weekend.

Choose a Remodeled Room!

We’ve stayed here before in one of the remodeled rooms and it was lovely. It was definitely nicer than the older one we stayed in this time. The walls were dirty with scuff marks, the bed was warped and overall the furnishings were dingy. I can’t say we’ll return.
