The staff welcomed us warmly and the room truly is stunning.
I have decided the Vendue is probably my favorite hotel in the continental US. The main reason is the service. From the welcome champagne, to the bottle in my room, to the breakfast hung our doors each morning and ice and macrons delivered at nite...its just a great stay. When you add the art work, rooftop bar and great staff that meet your every wish (along with another glass of champagne), I will try to stay here each time I return.
They booked us not in the main hotel but across the street so we had to change and of course there was a $49/night up charge and then $49 a night for the valet to park the car which we never moved for three days, so the charges were kind of not fun to be confronted as you you first arrive. The decor of the hotel is no longer a Charleston southern feel, but very art deco, which is not my style so that disappointed me however, the location, the staff and everybody were wonderful so although I probably won’t go back due to the decor I enjoyed every time I’ve stayed there so I wish them well.

My first room had old food items left over from previous guest that house cleaning must have missed. The manager on duty took care of it right away. No issues here- just making sure you are aware.
The valet guys were great, the male hotel "hosts" were unkempt, uniforms were a mess, and overall appearance was not what one would expect. The $100 i was charged for a 2 bottles of water and a k-cup seemed a bit excessive.
We enjoyed our 4 night stay at The Enclave. The room was very clean and the bathroom was quite large. The staff was very polite and accommodating. The amenities were appreciated, especially the sherry. The breakfast bag could use some variety.
Check-in was difficult. When we arrived no one was there to help us. We had to search for someone. Finally we found someone, and help was finally provided.
From the moment we arrived (and even before) the Vendue seemed very special. They reached out to connect on details, had champagne, cookies and milk at 4, croissants and muffins delivered to our door in the am. The artistic decor was so beautifully done and unique. Everything felt so thoughtfully designed and welcoming. We loved all the frenchies everywhere and the art tour! Incredible! We also enjoyed the rooftop bar. Would highly recommend!
