Staying at this hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were not only clean but also offered a comfortable retreat after a long day. The location was perfect, putting me right in the heart of the historic area, which I loved exploring. On the downside, the dining options could use some improvement, especially at breakfast. The amenities were nice, but not everything was perfect; for instance, Wi-Fi was an additional cost which was a bit of a letdown.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, located right in the charming historic district of Charleston. The rooms were spacious and clean, making for a comfortable retreat. While the dining options were nice with a focus on fresh local fish, I wish there had been more variety at breakfast. Additionally, the amenities were great, although a few could use some updates to enhance the experience further.

The hotel offers a superb experience overall, with clean and spacious rooms that provide great comfort. The location is excellent, situated in the lovely historic area that makes exploring easy. While the dining experience had its perks, the breakfast could use a broader selection. The amenities, including the pool, add a nice touch, and overall, I felt the pricing was fair for what was offered.

The hotel offers a wonderful experience with its clean and spacious rooms. I found the location to be absolutely charming, right in the heart of the historic area. However, the dining options were somewhat lacking, particularly at breakfast, and the pool area, while nice, could use a bit more attention. Overall, it's a good value for money, but there are a few areas where improvement would make it even better.
