This hotel was perfect. Perfect location, perfect room…the kitchenette was fantastic (even thought we didn’t use it). Bed and pillows comfortable too. I could live in the robe as well. The rooftop bar was great. Definitely gets club-like with loud music at night…so perfect For the younger crowd. Will definitely be back.

The Nickel hotel is a pied a Terre concept… separate bedroom, bathroom, sitting area and kitchen. It is spacious, beautifully designed and comfortable. The location is great as you are on King and can get to restaurants and shopping but away from the loud night life. Will go again.

The Nickel was outstanding. We have stayed at numerous 5 star hotels around Charleston, (hotel Bennett, the dewberry etc) and the Nickel is by far our favorite. It’s beautifully designed and feels fresh and brand new. The kitchenette actually came in handy numerous times. We took advantage of the free bike rentals and really enjoyed it. The location is perfect. We will definitely be back.
