This is the perfect hotel-great location, helpful staff, delicious breakfast, large, clean rooms and convenient parking in private lot across the street.
First time in Charleston and we thoroughly enjoyed this first class hotel in the historic area
The service and accommodations exceeded our expectations! Large comfortable rooms and within walking distance to fantastic shops and restaurants
Highly recommend this iconic hotel!
We loved everything about our stay. The rooms are amazing with their high ceilings and historic decor. The location is very walkable to the historic district. Breakfast was excellent, and the staff courteous. Highly recommend!
A really neat property! Love the decor and the size of the rooms! Staff was friendly and greeted us each time we entered the lobby! Breakfast was good and coffee was excellent!!! Location was convenient to downtown restaurants and stores. Highly recommend!!

Such a special hotel in an amazing location. We had four of us so stayed in one of the loft rooms which was incredible.
This property was absolutely beautiful and so convenient to everything we wanted to do in and around the historic district. We had a rental car, which we needed for the weekend, but the location of the hotel was walking distance to everything including fine dining. Grocery store is conveniently across the street. Loved the free parking, loved our stay!
Good location and friendly staff. Very comfortable bed in large room with very large tv. Very nicely decorated and updated bathroom. Nice bar and breakfast. Everything I expected in a "boutique" hotel. Nice grocery store across the street to pick up a few things we needed.
