We loved this place! Room was clean and lovely, with a comfy bed and pull out and nice pots and pans. The location was great and the parking was a little terrifying to get my car in and out but if you’re not planning on driving around it was convenient. The hotel felt very safe and the staff was lovely.

This place was fantastic. It’s right near a busy and vibrant area. It had tall ceilings and anything you could need. The parking was strange at first but then it’s really cool. Self check in means no hassle and if you need anything they’re always quick to respond via text. 5 stars I’ll be sure to stay again the next time I’m in Charleston.

Lovely stay
Wonderful apartment with great ammenities. Staff was very helpful with every aspect of our stay
Extremely clean and comfortable! The only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is I wish the website mentioned each room has a unique scent. I have a fragrance allergy and didn't see that about the scents until at the airport reading the check in material that was sent to me right before our stay (this material was well thought out and great!). You can buy candles in the scent of each room if you'd like, which is something that others probably really like. I called and they removed a diffuser or air freshener or something before we arrived, but of course the scents linger. It wasn't overpowering but there was definitely a scent. It was pleasant and not used to cover up other smells at all, but for someone with a fragrance allergy I wish it would have been known at booking. Staff was extremely responsive when I called, however, so that was much appreciated!
