This property was great! Beautiful historic building and a wonderful light filled corner suite. The space was clean and the king bed was super comfortable. Located in the French quarter of Charleston made everything very accessible and easily walkable.... Close to restaurants, rainbow row, the market, the waterfront, etc. Be aware that parking is scarce in Charleston and the fee for non-owner valet parking is 50 daily. I would definitely stay here again.

We did not stay there. We booked through VRBO a unit of a Blue Green owner(we found out they are not supposed to do this). The owner canceled our res. but neglected to inform VRBO. We showed up to find we had no reservation a very awkward situation! Fortunately, concierge employees Dawn and Kendall were very kind and helpful and located another very nice hotel for us and our stay in Charleston was Plesant.
