Conveniently located downtown. We walked everywhere. The food in Grill 225 was amazing! Jimmy is a great server with a fun personality. Our room was immaculate. We had a nice balcony. Can't go wrong with free pastries and coffee in the morning, cookies in the afternoon and little biscuits with turn down service. Love the noon check out time. It was a great experience.

The hotel was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Did not eat at the 225 restaurant. The Pavilion Bar drinks were good pours, but the food is basically bar food. In my opinion not worth the cost. The bed linens were great, but the bed mattress sloped down on either side so it was hard to find a position where I didn’t feel like I was sliding off the bed. Needs a new mattress. At checkout I found a $36 charge for watching TV!! What a rip off. In all my travels I’ve never been charged for watching regular TV channels. It really is a lovely property, but if I return to Charleston I won’t be staying here.

Loved our stay at this Beautiful hotel. Every detail is planned for a wonderful stay. Loved the rom setup and the towels. Continental breakfast on the floor and cookies in the afternoon with fresh fruit all day was delightful. The rooftop bar was amazing. The lobby restaurant was incredible. Best steak and sides on our trip to the South lease eat there. You will not regret it. Staff was incredible.

Excellent location just across from the city market, a short walk to the carriage tours and surrounded by numerous restaurants. You can easily walk around old Charleston from here including along the waterfront. Staff is fantastic; very accommodating and extremely friendly. Hotel itself is beautiful and the rooftop pool/bar/restaurant has great views of the city and the waterfront.
