The hotel has a wonderful historic charm and a fantastic location, right in the heart of everything. The service was exceptional, especially with staff like Old Mike who were incredibly accommodating. However, the rooms were quite small and had some wear and tear, and the dining could use improvement in quality and variety.

The rooms were unusually small and had chipped, mismatched furniture. They were part of a historic building, which added character, but might not be for everyone.

Unfortunately, the dining experience ranged from good to disappointing. Some dishes were well presented, but others fell short, like the burnt tastings.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its beautiful, spacious rooms that felt like a little slice of Charleston charm. The location couldn't be better for exploring downtown, and the staff went out of their way to help. However, the dining left something to be desired and could use some improvement. Overall, I’d say it was a solid experience, but not perfect in every way.
