The hotel is located in the heart of everything, offering an immersive Charleston experience with excellent amenities. Rooms are new and nice, perfect for happy hour gatherings, but there is room for improvement in service efficiency. The Southern Hospitality feel adds charm to the stay, although dining options are average. Overall, a convenient and comfortable choice for those seeking a central location with a touch of Charleston spirit.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms felt incredibly inviting with exposed brick walls, a cozy gas fireplace, pine floors, and modern amenities. However, there were a few splattered paint spots on the floor that slightly detracted from the overall charm. The small loft room added a unique touch to the stay.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were uniquely designed with exposed brick walls and a cozy gas fireplace, but the layout with a spiral staircase to the loft made it a bit loud when the TV was on. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great eating suggestions. The location was ideal for shopping and dining, especially around the Market and King Street, providing an immersive Charleston experience. Despite the lack of detailed dining comments, I enjoyed chocolate croissants. The facilities were well-equipped to cater to all needs, earning a high rating for the overall value of the stay.

The hotel is wonderfully located in the heart of everything, perfect for shopping and dining, offering an immersive Charleston experience. The rooms, though open and somewhat loud with the television on, had a unique high rice bed up a spiral staircase in a loft, but had many splattered paint spots on the floor. The service was extremely helpful with sightseeing ideas and pleasantly friendly, even providing eating suggestions. The location is central to everything, making it ideal for exploring Charleston, with a charming view from the one window and being right across from SNOB and next to High Cotton. The dining experience, featuring some regional bread, and the facilities both add to the overall experience at the hotel. However, dining might have some room for improvement, and the high rice bed could be a bit loud when the TV is on.
