The hotel is very nice. Our room view was of the outside courtyard. All lit up in Christmas decor. Unfortunately we did not get to enjoy much of the property amenities as we just needed a place to stay after a work holiday party downtown. The only complaint is the parking. Valet is $55/night. On street is free only until 5am. Was not going to get up that early to move my car. And the parking garage a block away was not operating so we parked in another garage three blocks away.

Typical “instagram” hotel. Average at best
Average stay. Beware if you are allergic to animals. The property is very pet friendly (they’re everywhere), but I didn’t realize. Itchy red eyes throughout. They offered to move into another room, but could guarantee it would be any better. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Free coffee is great. Loved the free bike rentals and coffee shop downstairs. Outdoor patio with the winter tents was cool until a rat walked right up to us then ran into the bushes, ahh!! Overall, pictures make it look much better than it really was. I’d look elsewhere in the future.

This hotel is pretty nice, but they don’t tell you that they have daily large parties and events steps outside your room. Events with hundreds of people until late at night, outside of your room. There is also no benefit to the VIP package AT ALL, so do not pay for that! It’s impossible to get into the restaurant on site, and when we ordered in our room, they didn’t even bring plates for our food. The water bottle fillers are in another building and very tricky to access. Overall, this hotel is overpriced for the service, and having to deal with parties when you’re trying to have a vacation.

Loved this property and would absolutely stay again.. great location near City Market and short walk to the water and park and the Pineapple Fountain. Staff was perfect. You hardly noticed they were there but always right there when we needed anything. We never saw the staff cleaning the rooms and were never disturbed, but rooms were always cleaned when we were out, even though at different times of the day. All furnishings updated and stylish, bathrooms and toiletries luxurious and bedding and robes high quality. Turntable in the room a fun treat, Tall glass bottles in the room fillable with fresh filtered water from the hallway taps, and coffee, tea and treats in the hallway as well. Lovely outdoor restaurant/courtyard for relaxing with fireplace. Wish we took advantage of loaner bicycles.

The staff was fantastic and very accommodating and the property is modern and beautiful. Walkable to so many restaurants and bars we never took the car out during our trip. Thanks to the staff, (especially Christopher) for taking such great care of us. Great work place for a sweethearts getaway. Would love to stay again if we make it back to Charleston.
