Loved our stay at this Beautiful hotel. Every detail is planned for a wonderful stay. Loved the rom setup and the towels. Continental breakfast on the floor and cookies in the afternoon with fresh fruit all day was delightful. The rooftop bar was amazing. The lobby restaurant was incredible. Best steak and sides on our trip to the South lease eat there. You will not regret it. Staff was incredible.

Our stay was wonderful! We were right in the ❤️ of the city in close proximity to everything. Yet in the hotel it was very quiet.The hotel was imaculate. Beds were comfortable and every detail was well thought out from umbrellas , robes and slippers to breakfast to turn down service. It was such a treat to stay there and we hope to return

Judy

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Did not eat at the 225 restaurant. The Pavilion Bar drinks were good pours, but the food is basically bar food. In my opinion not worth the cost. The bed linens were great, but the bed mattress sloped down on either side so it was hard to find a position where I didn’t feel like I was sliding off the bed. Needs a new mattress. At checkout I found a $36 charge for watching TV!! What a rip off. In all my travels I’ve never been charged for watching regular TV channels. It really is a lovely property, but if I return to Charleston I won’t be staying here.
