    What made me to take the time to write this review were all of the thoughtful extras that made our stay so memorable. When we arrived, we were welcomed with a glass of champagne and our choice of M&M's, Skittles, or Jelly Beans. The candy remained available throughout our stay, so we could enjoy a sweet treat anytime we wanted. Breakfast was anything but typical. It was beautifully presented and featured delicious, thoughtfully prepared items you'd normally have to order at a nice restaurant. At 5:00 each evening, they hosted a wine and cheese hour with an impressive selection of wines, cheeses, breads, and accompaniments, all arranged beautifully. Then, to end the day on a perfect note, they served warm, freshly baked cookies with milk at 8:30 every night. Another amenity we absolutely loved was the complimentary bicycles. We got up early one morning and rode through Charleston before the city came to life. It was peaceful, relaxing, and one of our favorite memories from the trip. I will happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Charleston. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the level of hospitality was exceptional. It felt much more like staying at a charming B&B than a hotel. Extremely well done!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very friendly staff and the property was very clean and in a great area.Breakfast was good and the milk and cookies at night was a great way to finish the day. We will definitely be back.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Everything!!!! The beautiful room, the bed turn down service with the weather forecast and chocolates, amazing!! The options of pillows, great touch. The water in the mini fridge, and the products in the bathroom were all so nice. The champagne at check in and the truly outstanding breakfast were all reasons why I would highly recommend. Also, the valets were all so very respectful and friendly. I felt spoiled and special during our stay. The parking, just because it wasn’t included in our stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff were awesome and extremely helpful! Hotel is beautiful and the amenities are amazing.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Absolutely everything All good

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This was hands down the best hotel stay of my entire life. From the moment we checked in with a champagne welcome, amazing room amenities, wine and cheese (total understatement), fresh cookies and milk, amazing breakfast, water and seltzers. I could go on for days. My children and husband were equally impressed and we will definitely be back!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Our first time in Charleston and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay! In the French Quarter, walking distance to so many shops and restaurants! The staff was incredible! Darrell heard that I have an allergy to American cheeses so he personally went out and purchased imported cheese for me so I can enjoy the wine and cheese along with everyone else during their cocktail hour. Their sister hotel, The Spectator, was just as wonderful! I would give 10 stars if I could!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The entire stay was awesome! The staff were extremely helpful and professional. The accommodations and amenities were top notch! Would definitely stay here again!!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We had an amazing time, everything was so clean and the staff was amazing! I tried the new Charleston spritz from the bar and it should definitely be added to the menu. The bar tender that created it was an absolute dream to talk to. we enjoyed the room service and the nighttime charcuterie. I would recommend people book as this will be a place we think of often.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff here was wonderful! My husband had to go to the hospital. And everyone at the Inn was most helpful and supportive. It was nice to be able to quickly pick up breakfast each day before I went to hospital to see about my husband. The check-in people helped me to continue staying here until my husband was finally released, & it was nice not to have to worry about that.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Spacious suite had fairly private terrace with City Market view. Afternoon wine and cheese had very creative appetizers. Beautiful outdoor terrace with fountain for dining or to enjoy anytime. Copious buffet breakfast with extended hours. Would definitely stay here upon returning to Charleston's historic district.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great place to spend few nights in. In middle of everything

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I would go back to SC just to stay in this hotel! Quaint, beautiful and has everything you could possibly need.
