You will love it!
I love older properties, and from the time I was greeted by the valet, until i checked out, it was great. I had the deluxe king room; well appointed and very comfortable.

Photos looked good but!
Not so good. We went for our anniversary. Started with pulling up and going inside To valet but getting ignored by the staff. I grabbed my own cart loaded My own bags and parked my car. My room was in need of care. Wet carpet, rundown looking, shower had the lightest water pressure of any hotel I ever stayed at. Lastly the staff told me my dinner reservation was at a place that was within walking distance and it was actually about five miles in each direction. Not a future destination for us.

The one thing that could be better is that the Hotel should give you a voucher for parking for your stay.

A little noisy but otherwise great stay
So first off, the good: the hotel is beautiful and in a great location. We were very short walks from everything we came to Charleston to do, which was excellent for us . The staff were kind, prompt and very helpful. Valet parking was a nice touch and worth it rather than trying to find parking and worrying about your car in some random garage. The bed and room were very comfortable! Surprising to us was that there were two separate bathrooms in our king sized room. A heads up: Those could be a little tough to navigate for bigger folks. My only real issue was the noise. We could hear people on the street, in other rooms, talking and playing music til all hours of the morning. I brought earplugs which helped but if you’re a light sleeper it’s something to consider. That said I’d definitely book another stay here. Really enjoyed our first trip to Charleston.
