Restored my soul
Breakfast basket served every morning coffee shop downstairs. Happy hour on the rooftop and steps from Everything! Rooms were home away from home. They can drive you to your reservation. It’s the way to spend vacation

The Best on King St.
Absolutely perfect from start to finish, the only place I will stay when returning to Charleston. Front desk staff were kind and outgoing, with little details such as umbrellas for a rainy walk on King St. Rooms are spacious and luxurious, a large fridge with items stocked, breakfast treats delivered in the morning. Lovely rooftop pool and bar, quick and courteous valet. An absolute hidden gem with the perfect location.
