Reviews and Ratings
Staying in the back building overlooking the pool felt like a tropical oasis, offering a relaxing atmosphere. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet, allowing for serene walks through the beautiful grounds to reach the lobby, pool, and breakfast area. Recommended for budget travelers without any issues during the stay.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was lovely and clean, though it was on the second floor with no elevator. The staff was incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to ensure our room was perfectly clean. The location was convenient, not too far from downtown, and offered a good base for exploring Charleston and its surroundings, although having a car is recommended. The dining experience was fantastic with a bright 'garden room' setting and great food choices. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor inconveniences.
Staying in the back building was a quiet and pleasant experience, allowing for walks through beautiful grounds and gardens. Access to the pool area and breakfast spot was easy from there. Although the room cost was a bit higher than expected, the rooms were well-maintained and included air conditioning.
The hotel was just what we needed - comfortable and welcoming with a few damp spots in the room. The service was fantastic, making us feel like VIPs from the moment we stepped onto the parking lot. The location was perfect for our needs, and although the dining was standard, it did the job. Overall, a great stay with good value for money.
The hotel rooms were extremely clean and smelled fresh upon entry, boasting great views. Despite the pristine condition, some renovation work would enhance the overall experience. The service was mixed, with instances of unhelpfulness and delight. The location offered convenient access for exploring downtown Charleston, although navigating the busy roads could be challenging. The dining options were limited, catering more towards convenience than variety. Overall, the hotel provides a clean and comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
