The hotel was wonderful, I received a welcome cocktail at check-in, which was tasty. The food at the restaurant was pretty good. I ordered a pizza to the room and by time it arrived it was cold. The hotel did remove the charge at checkout. I also loved the record player in the room. The hotel was busy but also quiet. The only complaint I had, was being on the third floor near the gym, I could hear the weights being dropped on the floor. Other than that the hotel is near plenty of shops and eateries. Overall a great choice.

We had a great time at Emeline, it's a beautiful hotel in an excellent location. The only issue we had was that there was a very loud wedding on our last night until 2am in the bar/restaurant area which is open to the second floor. If you are staying on a weekend, I would avoid being on the second floor adjacent to the atrium. Otherwise would definitely recommend this hotel!

This property was beautiful and clean. People were friendly. The room air conditioning was our only issue. It ran non stop sounded like sleeping in a tunnel and we called maintenance they assured us it was new. It made room nosey. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom exceptional. Expresso machine hallway was always jammed so I was little disappointed. It’s perfect location for exploring Charleston. I would recommend this place the courtyard was also decorated fun and relaxing. It does not have free parking so make sure you either be prepared for valvet or parking somewhere else and walking.
