Facility well appointed. Rooms neat and clean. Staff warm, welcoming, and responsive - had a TV and phone challenges quickly resolved. Highly recommend a stay.
Very nice high end, old school hotel with very polite service all around. Spacious rooms and hallways have a high end hotel feel. Nice upscale lobby restaurant. Great hotel location (It was too cold to use the outdoor roof bar and deck, but I’m sure it’s great in warm weather. ) My favorite feature was the abundant coffee service on our floor that was available all morning long. A great high end amenity.
We would come back again. This trip we got a good rate too.
Excellent location just across from the city market, a short walk to the carriage tours and surrounded by numerous restaurants. You can easily walk around old Charleston from here including along the waterfront. Staff is fantastic; very accommodating and extremely friendly. Hotel itself is beautiful and the rooftop pool/bar/restaurant has great views of the city and the waterfront.
Staff was very courteous! Although lots of changes since I was there last. No doorman or valet at arrival. And we were given a room that overlooks the parking garage. ☹️The hotel did not appear to be busy or fully booked, so the view was very disappointing!
There was a doorman on check out! Very nice and helpful with my luggage.
Conveniently located downtown. We walked everywhere. The food in Grill 225 was amazing! Jimmy is a great server with a fun personality. Our room was immaculate. We had a nice balcony. Can't go wrong with free pastries and coffee in the morning, cookies in the afternoon and little biscuits with turn down service. Love the noon check out time. It was a great experience.
Loved our stay at this Beautiful hotel. Every detail is planned for a wonderful stay. Loved the rom setup and the towels. Continental breakfast on the floor and cookies in the afternoon with fresh fruit all day was delightful.
The rooftop bar was amazing. The lobby restaurant was incredible. Best steak and sides on our trip to the South lease eat there. You will not regret it.
Staff was incredible.
