This property was great! Beautiful historic building and a wonderful light filled corner suite. The space was clean and the king bed was super comfortable. Located in the French quarter of Charleston made everything very accessible and easily walkable.... Close to restaurants, rainbow row, the market, the waterfront, etc. Be aware that parking is scarce in Charleston and the fee for non-owner valet parking is 50 daily. I would definitely stay here again.

We did not stay there. We booked through VRBO a unit of a Blue Green owner(we found out they are not supposed to do this). The owner canceled our res. but neglected to inform VRBO. We showed up to find we had no reservation a very awkward situation! Fortunately, concierge employees Dawn and Kendall were very kind and helpful and located another very nice hotel for us and our stay in Charleston was Plesant.

The place was a rundown dump and not very accommodating. To my surprise, there was no where to park my car with out paying a fortion that I was not made aware of in advance, and the floors in the room were slpoped like a funhouse and the floor had a trp hazard that the rtyed to cover up that caused me to trip on and twist my knee causing me pain.I will never use your services again and will tell everyone I know to avoid using you. your photos are misleading.

Very noisy, not because of the French quarter location, but the restaurant attached to the hotel. Music was tolerable, but the staff dragging furniture across the floor at 4am was ridiculous. The front desk staff was superb, all the employees were so friendly and simply wonderful to be around. We will return, just not during peak season.

We had a studio on the 3rd flood. It was the perfect size with a queen bed and a separate living area with a couch and fireplace. The room was clean and quiet with no street noise. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The best part was the location. Quick walk to the market, the waterfront and French Quarter. We would definitely stay here again.
