I can't say enough about the staff! In the evening the girl in training and manager were kind and helpful with check-in and suggesting a place to find sushi. We actually ended up eating at the Bistro because there was a gluten free dairy free option. Which brings me to the morning staff and chef - wow- so accomadating! The chef made certain our food was cooked in oil not butter and understood foods that had gluten and served us a substitute without asking (so thoughtful and impressive). He even came to the table to check on us with smile and cheerful laugh. What a great way to start our day!

This property is great. The outdoor area is such a value added . They also offer a shuttlebus every half hour roughly 7am - 10pm. My two concerns are of a walk from downtown Charleston if you like to walk or run. And, I had a rental bike and really struggled to find somewhere to put it. They don’t have any bike racks. But a bike here is fabulous to get you everywhere you need to go. I rented an ebike from a place in Mount Pleasant.l and was able to get over to Sullivan Island and the Isles of Pine, over the walkable bridge et al

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. We loved our spacious room which had a large balcony that provided views of the water, boats and marsh. The outside patio area had lots of seating with gorgeous views of the water and marina to enjoy during the day or at night. The food was good in the restaurant and the staff was helpful. The hotel shuttle was very convenient!

Got the job done comfortably

It was great. Exactly what I needed for a business trip. It's in an odd location but it's close to the freeway and not far from a grocery store. Wasn't able to check- in early but the front staff assisted in helping me out and getting me a place to change before my meeting started.

Would have been a wonderful stay except for the fire alarm-defective alarm-go off at midnight! Then we went down the stairs to the parking area and the door was locked! We went back up to the lobby and went out the lobby door there-thank goodness there wasn’t a fire in the lobby! It was the second time the alarm went off and then it happened again a couple days later!!

Delicious and Comfy!

Food options were excellent (small market for snacks and counter-order restaurant for bigger things). My omelet was delivered to me by the chef and was absolutely delicious. The beds were very comfortable. Normally I awake in the morning on a hotel bed with an aching back. Not this time. A great night's sleep was had by all!

Long weekend away

Great location, 20/25 min walk to downtown or use the free shuttle from the hotel which is a great service and runs every 30 mins. We used it a lot. Lovely hotel, very nicely laid out. Lovely courtyard and pool area, lots of space. Rooms very comfortable. Very clean. Has everything you need. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the front deal people weren’t friendly or welcoming. They weren’t rude and they were efficient BUT not a greeting nor a smile at any point from checking in to whenever I approached the desk. They wouldn’t stop me from staying again though . Great hotel and will return when in the area. We were going to a concert at credit one stadium - 20 min easy drive
