We loved this hotel and its location to king street. That bikes were so fun to ride around town and that is mainly how we got around was using their bikes or walking. Thank you for the drinks and breakfast foods provided! This was such a lovely stay we will be back.

Breakfast was convenient and great for me, but many people might find it minimal. The overall place was nice. The room had a nice size bed (king) but the mattress needs to be replaced. Great access to an upstairs shared porch. The bathroom was nice but small. It was difficult to adjust the heat. Parking was great for small cars. Overall good experience in a historic building.

Great location, minimal breakfast items. We had "basic" room downstairs and it was not very quiet both from folks coming and going inside the property and external noise from vehicles and construction equipment. Met our needs and price points. Parking on property is a plus and proximity to MUSC Hospital is great. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom.

Why are you even sending me this review? Your service is so horrible. I could not get into my room and was left out in the freezing cold at midnight. I called your damn service number multiple times and no one answered or called me back. I woke up other guests at your property and no one could help me. Your directions were not clear to where my room was and I kept trying to enter the 4 digit code onto the locks on the wall to get my room key. I walked up the sketchy metal stairs i saw when I came up from the parking lot "on the left" but there were no doors that had key code entry. I tried the door code on another door into what looked like a lobby area and it did not work. I called multiple times and NO ONE would answer your damn service line and I had no car so I walked, dragging my luggage a half mile at midnight, in 33 degree weather, freezing, to a Comfort Inn. I requested a full refund and still have not received it!! If you would have just answered your phone to HELP me this all could have been avoided. This made my trip to Charleston HORRIBLE, and I never want to come back! You are in the SERVICE industry. If no one is ON PROPERTY, you should at least answer your damn phone!!

Stayed in room 7 on top floor and it was lovely. Beautiful new bathroom. It was a good walk to the French Quarter but we don't mind exercise. There were plenty of options for grab and go breakfast and a nice sitting area. The air conditioner was so loud that we needed to switch turn the cooling off at night. The internet was terrible and did not allow us to watch TV or stream anything for more than a few minutes without buffering. And it usually buffered for 2-10 minutes. So don't plan on working online without your own hotspot. Other than that, the staff person was very friendly and the room was well-appointed.

Room was clean and comfortable. Off-street parking was a big bonus. BEWARE: I missed any mention in the reservation process that there was no elevator. Our room turned out to be on the third floor and the stairs from 2nd to 3rd floor is quite steep and narrow.
