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.

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.
