United States, May 2024

8.0/10

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room was quite large with 2 queen beds, a desk, and a sitting area, but it was smaller than expected for the price. It was directly below where breakfast was served, which was a bit inconvenient. However, the room itself was clean and comfortable.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms good for families but in a tired condition. The service is helpful and responsive, though noise during breakfast preparation was an issue. The outstanding location near Charleston's historic district is a major highlight, while the dining experience didn't meet expectations. Overall, a convenient stay with some room for improvement.

8.6/10

I couldn't have asked for a better location - right in the heart of Charleston next to the old market and carriage ride barns. The rooms were comfortable, but the lack of exterior windows was a bit disappointing. The service was exceptional, making me feel welcome and accommodated. Overall, a great stay with a few minor room-related drawbacks.
