I stayed here with my two young boys and this hotel blew me away with their hospitality! I loved how they always had something going on in the lobby and it became a communal living space. They had tons of games we could play by the fire while we had complimentary cookies and milk at night. It’s also located in such a great area within walking distance of many iconic Charleston landmarks

We had a wonderful stay. The amenities are great, from free bike rentals, delicious breakfast, wine and cheese and milk and cookies. We will definitely stay here again and a shout out to Bob, who managed the bar during the wine and cheese and late night snacks. He was great to chat with and was very helpful with his suggestions. Thank you for a beautiful stay!

The staff was friendly and helpful. They were also very knowledgeable of the area. There was always a smile on everyone's face. The breakfast, the wine and cheese and the cookies and milk were the greatest. As a guest, you felt special almost like royalty. It was one of the best stays I've experienced.

Real nice hotel as we typically stay by the market French Quarter was very nice as soon as I checked in I suggested to the young girl with glasses working that did not want a room next to an elevator please quiet room soon as we got the room looked out the window across the street construction was being done lol no kidding! I’m not sure if young lady tried to be cute sassy or she was just confused..otherwise we ended up getting another room, the next morning, which was nice and quiet, would definitely return as it probably our favorite stay in that area!

I booked this hotel for my husband and daughter who were driving her car to her college in Florida and one of their overnight stops was in Charleston. Upon arriving, they called me, so excited about the hotel that I had booked them in! They loved all of the little extras and how beautiful everything was and how nice everybody was! Even though it was a trip to the college for them it was like a serious vacation! I proceeded to receive more calls throughout the evening and then in the morning where they went on and on about all the little amenities! They both agreed that this was the best hotel they have ever been in ever anywhere. And we’ve been to Hawaii five times.
