Solid Charleston Stay!
This is always one of my favorite stays in Charleston. Amazing location, clean and spacious rooms with great amenities, and the staff is always pleasant. The coffee shop in the lobby has become one of
My favorites in town. Well worth the price when it’s a bit higher to be right in the middle of everything with modern amenities.

Check-in was easy. We received a complimentary room upgrade. Our room was awesome. Only issue was the coffeemaker dispensed more coffee than the cups could hold. Messy.
The food at Franny and The Fox was tasty but the dining room was crazy cold. The location of the hotel was perfect for walking.
We were very pleased with our stay.

The check in experience left a bit to be desired. No smile, no eye contact. Barely 10 words. Not welcoming AT ALL.

Emeline is Amazing!
Beautiful hotel. Pleasant from the moment we checked in. We were greeted at door with luggage cart and provided refreshments at check in. Two king bedrooms with living room was perfect for our family of 5. Bathroom was spacious and a plus that toilet had separate door (this is a huge plus for families all trying to get ready at the same time). Location was perfect- walking distance to market, King Street shopping, and a ton of great restaurants. Hotel had a great restaurant, coffee shop, and outdoor fireplace at night to relax. I highly recommend!

The hotel has so much charm! Wonderful atmosphere and so close to all things downtown Charleston! Our room was extremely small and beside loud ac units. Those are the only things keeping me from giving an Excellent rating! We will be back!
