Birthday Celebration
Amazing. Favorite hotel, daily breakfast delivered to the room, bikes, butler service included. Bed is so comfortable and the bathroom is beautiful. Highly recommend. The location in the middle of downtown is perfect, buts still in a quiet location. We stayed with our 1 year old, the property had a pack and play with a crib sheet all set up and ready for us. Refrigerator was also perfect for our family.

A Welcome Island in Charleston
As close to the ideal hotel room and service to go with it as there is in Charleston. The butlers that attend to your needs are a unique feature that matters to the overall stay. The room is well appointed, quiet and dark yet with a view over the busy parts of the city. A welcome island in Charleston.

A must stay! A fairy tale experience.
Excellent! The best hotel experience we’ve ever had. The hotel was beautiful & immaculate. All the staff were very friendly & helpful, especially the butlers on staff. The butler Jim was especially helpful with restaurants & activities to go/see. Room was beautiful & came with complimentary breakfast, beverages in the mini fridge, & snacks (which were all excellent.) We were well taken care of & catered to. The butler team even went out of their way to offer a special treat to celebrate our baby moon vacation with a baby book, onesie, bottle of sparkling juice, & thoughtful note. This will be the hotel we stay at every time we come to visit Charleston.

Great hotel, excellent staff, very nice room and an excellent location. Valet parking good but a little pricey. Included breakfast good but selection could be improved with maybe a breakfast sandwich or hot cereal addition. Overall rating five stars!!!

Chipped furniture, stains on the bathroom floor, tattered rug, stains on the furniture in the room. Definitely not one of the better hotels that we stayed at.

Beautiful property and room. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was a bit small for the price per night.
