Wonderful experience with great staff. Walls are a little thin so you could hear our neighbors snoring all night. Location was perfect!

The staff was welcoming and very helpful! When we asked where we get ice, the young man jumped up and said, I’ll go get ice for you! Wow!!
I wish I knew his name! Everyone was great!
Breakfast was good and the coffee was hot and tasty!
We will return!😀

Great boutique Hotel. Beautifully appointed. Well thought out rooms. Only thing I was left wanting was a luggage rack.
Was greeted with a friendly smile and a welcome drink 🍷 upon check-in. I was very lucky and was upgraded for my 1 night stay to a balcony room. It was only 2nd floor and a city view. If I am again in Charleston I will stay here and request a top floor balcony with a view 😜
From robes and slippers, in room mini bar, turn down service with chocolates, lobby craft cocktail bar, even an included light breakfast
So tell me not be for every business traveler. But it is definitely a stop for either a long weekend away or a romantic getaway for two. If the spa they were partnered with wasn't 10 minutes away I would have definitely wandered in for some pampering. Be amazing if it was accross the alley or even just a couple of converted rooms on-site!
Overall great hotel. Very agreeable staff and amazing location.

Nice hotel.
The least expensive room is very nice and upgrades are necessary. The breakfast is exceptional and it is free. Overall the people are very nice. The phone in my room didn't work otherwise all is well.

Lovely hotel in the french quarter of Charleston. Close to great restaurants, bars, art galleries, a great open air market and a beautiful seaside park. The staff was absolutely wonderful, showcasing Southern Hospitality and service. Will definitely stay here again
