"We are not a 5-star hotel," - On-site Manager

The valet was a nightmare. One evening we waited 25 minutes for our vehicle before the manager came out to say there was a problem and our car wouldn’t start. My fiancé walked to the garage and found the valet trying to start the wrong car. With one press of our key fob, our car lit right up—by then we had missed our engagement dinner. Another day, after exploring Charleston, we returned to find housekeeping had left our room door wide open. The front desk associate was kind and the Director of Housekeeping personally apologized and checked in afterward, but when I later mentioned it to the on-site manager, Teresan, she denied it ever happened—which left a bad taste. The bar was equally disappointing. We sat at an empty bar for 10 minutes while the older bartender ignored us and focused on cutting fruit. When he finally looked up, he said he needed to get more fruit and never took our order. This was especially disheartening as we had just gotten engaged and wanted to celebrate with a bottle of Veuve. Thankfully, Elisha, another bartender, was fabulous and truly the highlight of the hotel. At checkout, after multiple failed attempts to reach the GM, Teresan waived our valet fees but also told me that Pavilion Market “is not a 5-star hotel.” At $500 a night, that statement summed up the gap between what they promise and what they deliver.

The hotel is beautiful. Such character and charm! The bed was so comfy. The room was quiet with such dark window coverings for night that we slept like babies (and we usually cant in a hotel). Complimentary Coffee and fruit/pastries in the morning was a yummy start to the day. The rooftop pool was the perfect break during hot sightseeing days! All of the staff was so friendly (shout out to Devin and the other bartender). Everything is very walkable from the hotel. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was wonderful! We were right in the ❤️ of the city in close proximity to everything. Yet in the hotel it was very quiet.The hotel was imaculate. Beds were comfortable and every detail was well thought out from umbrellas , robes and slippers to breakfast to turn down service. It was such a treat to stay there and we hope to return

Love this property. Rooftop bar/restaurant is amazing. Only complaint is no key was needed to access the elevator, which posed safety concerns. However, the staff was amazing and extremely responsive and pleasant.

The day of check in (scheduled as 4pm) a member of the front desk staff called me at 1:30pm and asked if I was still coming to stay at the hotel. It was very odd. I have never had a hotel call before check in time and ask if I was still planning to come. It was very off-putting. Also, there was a constant smell of weed in our hallway. The cleaning staff was very polite and friendly and did a great job.
