This is an excellent, sophisticated small hotel with very helpful and responsive staff. While there is no restaurant onsite they do serve an excellent breakfast in your room. One of its great attractions, though, is the fantastic bar just off of the lobby. And the bartender and his assistant are absolutely the best…friendly, knowledgeable and a source of good information about Charleston. Nothing not to like here!

This was a gem! Service from curb to room was extraordinary! We particularly loved the personal butler services from Will and Jim. Room came with complimentary waters/sodas and a basket of local snacks. We were kind of obsessed with the Bennie Wafers and and were later provided a few extra little bags on a silver platter. Cant say enough about the service. Room was well appointed with lovely bamboo matress, cotton sheets, plently of charging ports, a marble bathroom with lovely local toiletries, turndown service (which included some chocolates and water), complimentary breakfast served in our room, etc. I could go on and on. Oh they also have complimentary bicycles! Dont hesitate to book this hotel!
