Beautiful room! The courtyard was very pretty as was the lobby. The staff was extremely helpful in finding my daughter a quiet place to wrap a last college exam before our room ready (we arrived early for check in.) looking forward to a future stay.

Great location! Clean rooms. Breakfast is extremely fresh especially the fruit, but it is a continental with no meat. A hard-boiled egg is the only protein. Don't think you are going to get an omelet and bacon. Coffee in the common area was luke warm/getting cold most of the time. We ended up door dashing for Starbucks. BUT I will say that you cannot beat the location. Right in the heart of King with everything walkable. I would still pick this hotel again for the location alone.

perfect location for Charleston Library society and a long list of excellent small shops right outside the door. Breakfast was simple but good - all I needed.
The lack of available water other than from the faucet inside the hotel was a bit of a problem.. a source of bottled water would have been wonderful. Staff all excellent..welcoming and helpful.

What a lovely hotel! It was clean and welcoming. Loved the relaxing patio area, which offered free breakfast in the morning and free wine in the evening! Everywhere we wanted to go was within walking distance, would definitely stay there again!
