    For the price, though, a few things fell short. We had no view from our room, and with no rooftop pool, I expected the personal touches to make up for it. The butler walked us to our room, showed us how the keys worked, and gave a brief rundown, but we didn't hear from him again. The most frustrating moment was our arrival. It was dark and pouring rain, and we waited a long time for a valet who never showed up. My sister ended up unloading our luggage herself and hauling it up the steps and we drug it inside before someone finally appeared to take it and park the car. When we returned later in the stay, there was again no valet in sight. A lovely property with a warm staff, but at this price point, I expected more consistent service, especially the valet.

    Wonderful place to be pampered. From the time we walked through the door we were treated like royalty. Fun treat for the girls. Highly recommend it.

    I recently celebrated a birthday with two other couples at this property. It was my 1st time visiting it. Location, location, location. Perfect for a trip to Charleston, SC. Staff was amazing. Everyone knew our names from day one and used them to greet us throughout our stay. Rooms were very well appointed and we loved the large bath and rainfall shower. Extra towels we didn't even have to ask for. Breakfast is included. We thought it would be continental. NOT! A variety of choise including scrambled eggs, bacon and biscuits and gravy...delivered to your room by your butler when you want it. Great bar and lobby. A welcome cocktail was served when we arrived. Love this property. We had a balconette and it was great. We'll definitely be back.

    The service of being shown to your room and being informed of local things to do and see was also a nice gesture.

    The breakfast served to the room was a new twist for us and was exceptionally good. The service of being shown to your room and being informed of local things to do and see was also a nice gesture.

    La atención desde que llegas hasta que te vas es otro nivel. El esmero de la atención excede la calidad de servicio, un servicio incomparable que te hacen sentir en un palacio, la amabilidad del conserje es única. El check in es rapido y muy servicial, el servicio de valet parking perfecto, la habitación muy limpia y silenciosa. Cuando vuelva a la ciudad no dudaré en volver. A este hermoso hotel.
