Heard it was a former citadel. The inside corridor was unique. Rooms were just ok. Carpet was dated throughout hotel and rooms- could probably be upgraded. Breakfast options were very good- excellent sausage links. Love how it was right next to Marion square to take a walk-although the grounds crew was running leaf blowers at 7 am. I would stay here again.

Property needs a total refresh of the main area for gatherings. Furniture old and I. The grand area, furnishings almost non-existent. What was there was very worn. Even the art work hanging in areas was very odd to say the least. Not attractive for the area we were in. Mostly strange monkeys that look like they belonged on another continent. Li sky historic building but again please refresh rooms and all decor.

It was a comfortable stay with you. The only thing I would say that’s not the best is that the Julie around the hot tub wasn’t clean. Otherwise a fantastic place to stay. I’ve already booked another stay there.

Not the best Embassy Suites.

Pros and Cons Pros The hotel is the former Citadel Military College from the 1800s. Lobby and Atrium is lovely. Good location. Walkable to many of the sites and restaurants. Good Water pressure in shower. Staff is friendly enough. Happy hour w/ 2 free drinks and light snacks. Breakfast included. Has a pool and patio. Cons The hotel is the former Citadel Military College from the 1800s. No windows in the rooms. Room was very worn. Stuffy. No vent in bathroom. Broken handles on nightstand. Sagging shower rod making the curtain not stay in place. Lighting and decor was awful. Felt like a badly decorated prison. Sheets and pillows were uncomfortable. Room temperature was too warm. Couldn't get it cooler. Unlike other Embassy Suites, the bar was only open for the 2 hour happy hour window. Felt awkward. Zero energy. No music. Just weird. Again, unlike other Embassy Suites, breakfast was just average. Parking is expensive. Valet only. But probably is expensive at every hotel in downtown Charleston. Will book a different hotel next time in Charleston.

This hotel has a very unique layout because it was once a Citadel - it is rich in history but can also feel a bit dated with its traditional interiors. It is a great central spot to access the nearby parks, museums, shopping, and dining, and the staff was incredibly friendly and hospitable.

Incredible historic hotel with top notch staff. We were greeting with sincere service. The Valet and personnel at the check-in area were fabulous. The bartender at the welcome reception was awesome. We loved the location and easy access to King's Street. Great Job on hiring people who know how to make a guest's stay incredible. Well Done!! MJ
