The stay is amazing!!! Clean environment and nice staffs. First time South Carolina trip with great stay, next time I will recommend my friends to stay here! They have bottles in the room, sparkling water and water provided! I lived on the 2 nd floor, I was worried that it gonna be noise in the low level but it’s not.

For a high end hotel, they didn’t hire enough people to work the valet parking and no porter to help with luggage to the front desk or room. The coffee machine in our floor wasn’t working for our two nights stay. The room and closet space are tiny for the price.

Beautiful and Thoughtful Hotel
Such a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful hotel and such thoughtful detailed amenities. Details like the water bottles and each floor having a water dispenser, coffee station on every floor and the complimentary drinks. We especially loved the complimentary bikes that we used to ride through Charleston. Would love to come back again

Cute and Cozy
Amazing boutique hotel right in the heart of all the downtown sights. Really cool mod centry modern decor. Great amenities with a restaurant and coffee shop in the building. Complementary coffee and water machine on every floor. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Lots of spaces to hang out and enjoy a coffee or drink from the bar, or work at the tables.
