10/10 Excellent
"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. "
