Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Check in was adequate and the room itself and bed were exceptionally comfortable. Over the top comfortable bed. The restaurant across the alley was bustling busy, but the hostess at the hotel assisted in making sure there was a reservation for us as hotel guests. We found a piece of metal wire in our burger from the restaurant. Besides that, the food was pretty good but not very impressive. In the morning, a small coffee area was available between the elevator and the lobby desk area. There were fresh quiche's available as well as other pastries and some yogurt. We also appreciated that the room had a built in luxury kitchenette which included silverware to enjoy our breakfast with as well as a fridge stocked with filtered water and cups to drink from. The room had a gigantic mini bar also with stocked snack items of all types. Also had a gas stove and a microwave. The quality of the room was absolutely above average as well as the comfortability. The shower in the bathroom did not have a nice shower head or good water pressure and it was tiny and poorly designed. They were willing to allow an 11:30 check out even though the normal time was 11. The girls at the front desk were very nice upon checking out. I would consider staying here again due to the convenient location, the above average restaurant close by, and most importantly, the amazingly comfortable bed (with great pillows).

A wonderful experience! I was kindly greeted upon arrival by the valet-he was so kind and brought my bags to my room. I was very impressed with the cleanliness, decor and style of not only my room, but the entire hotel, courtyard and adjacent bar and restaurant. Beautiful toiletries for use in the bathroom. The balcony was charming with French doors. My car was waiting for me upon checkout (I didn’t even need to ask for it to be brought around). Overall I was thrilled with my choice of hotel and I will be staying again. I also recommended to my parents for their next trip to Charleston as well. 5 stars!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Pinch. They provided us with a welcome cocktail and upgraded us to a 1 bedroom suite upon arrival. The customer service and hospitality was second to none. The room was spacious and gorgeous. The bathroom was well lit and exceptionally clean which was important to me. Housekeeping staff was very detailed and on point. The pastries for the complementary breakfast were delicious and this was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had.

This is truly a charming, historic, and beautiful hotel! Elegance in everything I experienced in our 1 bedroom premium suite! It felt like I was in a European apartment! You have absolutely everything you need and more! The location is perfect, King Street shopping right outside of the hotel, but tucked away in a beautiful alley where the Lowland restaurant (the hotel restaurant) is across the brick paved alley! The breakfast options are lovely! Pastry from a local bakery, and fruit, mini-quiche, homemade granola to go with the yogurt for personal parfait! Coffee is amazing!! Taylor was absolutely incredible! She accommodated me and my husband to extend our stay due to a last minute business meeting I had come up! She was so professional and made sure we were all set! The staff is lovely! I also enjoyed the delicious welcome cocktail, so much, that I got the recipe for a party. We cannot wait to return in December!
