Breakfast excelente, only the pillows was very light . The hotel is wonderfull and the people That work there are very gentleman and very polity, the are amazing, everybody
Room were nice and clean. Most of the rooms don't have great views. The internet is very iffy. Staff are extremely nice. Restaurants in the hotel are very good and worth the price. Hotel location is fantastic and you can walk to most places. You will enjoy your stay in this place.
The Charleston Place was a delight from the minute we walked in the front door until we left. All staff members were friendly and accommodating. Our room was beautiful and very clean. The location was excellent, with many restaurants within walking distance. King street (great shopping area) was just a block away. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it as a premier hotel in this great city.
They really attended to all our needs, so pleasant and helpful - including bringing a microwave to our room so we could reheat leftovers! Beautiful hotel, food was amazing including the room service, central location, perfect southern hospitality experience in all ways!
