Very average to below average property for the price. Location was incredibly walkable and close to a lot of local attractions and restaurants, which was the biggest plus. Check-in was a pain, room carpeting was very stained, curtain falling off the track, loud staff and guests early in the morning, HVAC initially wasn't working (maintenance fixed upon complaint). Their systems weren't working at checkout either. Management did come up to check that A/C was working on Day 2 and offered a round of drinks for our troubles, which was a nice gesture.

The hotel was fabulous. Would have been nice to have some appetizer options at the bar. Lots of construction in the immediate area, but the hotel was very quiet during the night.

Great property. Recently updated & still seems to be working out a few kinks, but the staff was super attentive and fixed everything promptly. Rooms are a bit cramped, but with nice amenities. A bit "too" much furniture in them, but with a little rearranging you can make it work. Lovely lounge, fresh continental breakfast and friendly bartenders. The espresso martini IS, in fact, all it's cracked up to be.

Great Charleston weekend getaway. This hotel is in the perfect location. I definitely will return. The parking is a little pricey, that’s my only negative.

Classy hotel
We liked everything about the Palmetto: nice decor, friendly staff, comfortable and clean room, yummy complimentary drink and chocolate, and excellent breakfast options. We had dinner at the Ferry Landing, which was an easy minute walk toward the water. Will definitely consider staying here again.
