My Mom and I travelled to Charleston for a mom/daughter trip. We wanted to stay in a unique hotel in the French quarter area. We had a beautiful,huge room with 2 queen beds, an armoire with robes and slippers, and a sitting area. The location was ideal-right next door to the market! Yet it was very quiet in the hotel. Coffee, tea, fruit and pastries are available on each floor by the elevators in morning. Cookie plates are on each floor in the afternoon. Staff is polite, valet service is fast, and the food on the rooftop is delicious.

Nice staff but didn’t work for us

Staff was very nice and welcoming. They insist you valet and don’t tell you it ends up being $50 until you check out. The hotel has that antique smoke smell like your grandmother’s house. They said they had just replaced the mattresses but we found them uncomfortable and worn. Maybe we got a room without an updated bed. Didn’t work for us

Great property! The grand decor was lovely and very clean. Each floor had coffee and muffins every morning, and fruit during the day. That was a very convenient touch. The roof top pool was excellent and food was great. The lobby was very cool and I wish I had had time to dine at the steak restaurant. Very convenient to lots of cool restaurants and coffee shops. I am already booking another trip and will stay there again.

The hotel mistakenly charged me three times for almost $3000 coming out of my account. The room was not clean. It was not kept up my window overlooked a garage with cars coming in and out and parking right by the window was very noisy in the hallway, it was the worst experience for almost $900 a night. I’m disgusted.
