Great location
The location was great and within walking distance to everything in the historic area. The staff was very nice and the rooms clean. They were currently going through renovations so they did not have a lounge or resteraunt area. But plenty of places nearby to eat at! The free parking was a good perk to have.

Clean, good location
My room was small, but it was very clean (even the TV remote!) and it's hard to beat the hotel's location. Plus, free off-street parking. You do, however, have to pay $5 to use the gym next door if you want to work out.

Lilian and me
A work in progress...
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, which is something I really appreciate when in unfamiliar territory. While our room was clean and well appointed, it was very small. There was only room for 1 suitcase stand, so I moved a table and positioned my suitcase on the floor, out of the way. I was also disappointed with the view of the roof!!! I would have rather looked out onto the street, or even a parking lot. I would have stayed elsewhere had I known the dining room was undergoing renovations, and therefore, food service was on hiatus. I would have stayed elsewhere. One other area needing some attention is the partially underground parking lot. I found it dark and cramped, considering the large vehicles people seem to favor. Also, after it rained, there was standing water everywhere that need to be negotiated with our luggage in tow.

Great trip
Very nice. Would have been better if there had been a restaurant so that we didn't have to go down the street and pay $80 for breakfast for 4 people. We enjoyed our short stay there and will come back.

Great shopping area!
This hotel is in a perfect location for the market area of Charleston. We had several restaurant selections and all of them (3) that we tried were excellent. We had 3 hotel rooms and they were all in one hallway that only had 3 rooms (4th floor), so very quiet. We felt quite safe walking around, even after dark, in the area. The room AC/Heater kicked on too often, but probably because I didn't know how to set it properly so that it wouldn't. The bed/pillow/bedding were nice.

Shopping tip:
Short walk from hotel
The market vendors are in at least 3 long bldgs that are open on the sides and there are a lot of choices of things for sale. The vendors close up before dark but the stores are open late and there is a wide variety of those. Wear comfy shoes! The shuttle service is free and has quite a few stops, runs about every 20 min.
