Patricia, Myrtle Beach, visiting Charleston Music Hall

The location is great - close to shopping, theaters, and great restaurants. It's a beautiful hotel and the staff could not be more friendly. I would recommend you go to one of the surrounding restaurants for a nice dinner rather than the one in the hotel but, other than that, this is a great place to stay while in Charleston.

Liked: It's beautiful and the view from our room was perfect.
Disliked: The restaurant food at the Swamp Fox was so so, but the waitress was great. The bathroom is really tiny, but it's an old hotel and I would rather they kept close to the old decor than wreck the rooms by modernizing them.

Cindy B, Hilton Head Island, SC

Great location for walking King Street shops. Great having a Starbucks in the building. Parking was convenient ( Charleston Parking Garage ) and was easy to locate.

Liked: Small but a very nice, clean, updated room. Helpful staff.

The Best Place to Stay...

Liked: This is Charleston's grand hotel and it is pure elegance located in the middle of historic Charleston. The room was spacious and quiet. The bed was VERY comfortable. We enjoyed both room service as well as their restaurant.
Disliked: This hotel really needs a space to tell its wonderful history. Other hotels of this vintage do and we always enjoy finding out more. The gift shop is...well...forgetaboutit. The really don't have one and this is another missed opportunity for this excellent propertyy.

Very good

Liked: Hotel in a fabulous location in the heart of the historic district within easy walk of shops and restaurants and bordering the main park.
Disliked: Beds were a little small (double is a small double) and with Charleston being quite lively you did hear a lot of street noise even at level 11.
