10/10 Excellent
"Everything was so amazing honestly. We went here for our honeymoon and even though it was booked through a third party (expedia) they still accommodated us in a many ways to help us celebrate our honeymoon! They welcomed us in with a glass of prosecco and gave us a million different recommendation for staying in downtown Charleston. They accommodated us with an early check in and a late checkout! They also were able to hold our luggage for us while we waited for our flight later on after checking out. The staff was All so nice and assisted us with our bags and were all so helpful and the definition of southern hospitality! Would go back in a heartbeat! Hotel was so unique and artsy too we loved it! They also have their sister restaurants that they own and those were also amazing too! 1000/100 would recommend !!"
