We really enjoyed having 2 king beds while traveling with our adult sons. Great location. We were surprised to see the eco friendly plates, flatware and glass bottles not separated from the regular trash. Good vibes.

Romance at the Emeline
Staff answered accommodations. Also, my now fiance proposed to me on NYE and a staff member went out of their way to take a video of the proposal, not just a photo, like we requested. This will be a memory we will always remember. Thank you Emeline!

4/10 Fair

Nice boutique hotel missing a basic amenity
Upon our arrival we were greeted and given a cocktail, then told we would receive a 20% discount on our first food purchase. We checked in on Monday. Tuesday morning as we were showering we experienced a loss of water. To be clear, while standing in the shower our room no longer had any water. No water in the shower where I was standing with conditioner in my hair, and soap on my face and body. No water came out of the faucet in the sink nor was there any to flush the toilet. After 10 minutes the only response from the front desk was we’re working on it and sorry for the inconvenience. I ended up toweling off and walking to a friends place to take another shower to remove all the dried soap and hair products. Upon our late return we were told sorry for an inconvenience, we think there shouldn’t be another problem, if there is we can move you to another room tomorrow. We ate in the restaurant twice and will have to call to get the 20% discount we were promised b/c like our water it wasn’t given to us. The hotel itself was in a great location. The staff were all friendly. The rooms were clean, and while not spacious well utilized. And, The lobby was decorated beautifully for the holidays.

Not a 4 star experience
Disappointed with my stay. The noise from the restaurant area was unbearable as they were playing club music, especially at night. I reported the issue, but the response from management was poor and unhelpful. After several unanswered calls to the front desk they resolved at 10:45 pm . Definitely not the restful experience I was expecting. I have stayed at this location before new ownership and expected more. This was not a 4 star experience and suggest to save your money or book at The Mills House for better service and experience.

Better options in Charleston
The good:location and very helpful front desk staff. The hotel is very nicely appointed. Complimentary coffee in the am (no coffee pot in room) Nevertheless at over $400 per night we had a 1st floor room facing a street and wall. At night the light from the street lamps came into the room from the top of the curtains. There was constant activity in the lobby and had to navigate through crowds to exi the hotel. Could not get near the bar on any of the 3 nights we stayed. Also after a long day of travel could not get into the hotel restaurant until late as it was booked with reservations. bathroom was nice, linens and pillows good but mattress was lumpy.

The first floor common areas were very good. Excellent restaurant and bar. Staff was attentive and helpful. Our room was subpar. Poorly decorated, very dark. The bed was not comfortable. The fixtures in the bathroom were literally falling off.

New favorite Charleston hotel
My husband and I stayed at the Emeline for his birthday and absolutely loved it!! The courtyard is so beautiful and the decor throughout the hotel and restaurant is lovely. The bed was super comfortable and the linens luxurious. You can’t beat the location. We will definitely stay again any time we’re in Charleston!
