The hotel was better than expected! Very cute interior and I like how there was so much parking. The only thing is I wish there was a door near the parking with more security since anyone could basically get in and that’s not safe. But overall, would stay again!

The property is gorgeous with fantastic amenities such as a bar, pool, restaurant, and hot tub. The staff could not be friendlier -- everyone from the front desk to restaurant staff. The property is a quick walk to downtown SC, which is convenient. The rooms were clean and well-appointed; my only feedback was that they feel a bit small and I wish there was a private balcony. But would definitely stay again!
