A Five-Star Engagement Weekend at...

Liked: Exceptional Service: The Spectator Hotel provided five-star service from start to finish, making our engagement weekend in early June truly special. We felt incredibly fortunate to have stayed there.Complimentary Amenities: Unlike many hotels that charge for extras, The Spectator offered free drinks and snacks in the room, which was a delightful surprise.Outstanding Butler Team: The dedicated butlers elevated our stay with personalized, complimentary services. We were assisted by:Michelle: Warm-hearted and shared local tips that helped us save money.Jim: Playfully teased us about our English roots but provided fantastic recommendations.David: Kind, thorough, and always greeted us with a warm smile.Darryl: Incredibly efficient, ensuring perfect morning breakfast deliveries.Kyle (name not confirmed): Remarkably knowledgeable, my wife’s favorite for his wealth of local insights.Charming Bar Area: The downstairs bar was perfect for relaxing while waiting for my spouse, enjoying breakfast, savoring a hot drink, or having pre-dinner cocktails. The bar staff were proactive, friendly, and made every interaction a pleasure.Memorable Experience: The impeccable service, thoughtful amenities, and charming atmosphere made our engagement weekend unforgettable. We highly recommend The Spectator to anyone visiting Charleston.
Disliked: Payment Process Issue: As someone from Europe accustomed to paying for stays outright with a debit card, I was disappointed by the payment hold placed on my card in addition to the full payment made on the first day. This effectively doubled the charge temporarily, which felt unnecessary and unsettling, as it meant having double the room’s cost looming over us despite paying upfront. A smaller deposit, such as the cost of one night’s stay, would have been sufficient. While the hold was resolved promptly upon checkout, it was an inconvenience during our stay.
