This is the perfect location and reasonably priced for a downtown hotel. The hotel is older (which should be expected in an older city), but well-maintained and really beautiful on the inside. We visited for a long weekend and would definitely return to this hotel!

This is a cool building, in a fantastic area of downtown Charleston. Very walkable. They had a great complimentary breakfast, and a free happy hour reception. The property is a little dated and could use a refresh, but it was clean and I'd stay here again.

PROs: Great location. Breakfast is a typical Embassy Suites buffet... very good, Complementary Happy hour is nice, Room layout is good, Shower had great water pressure, A/C blew like a hurricane. CONs: A little run down and in disrepair. Our shower rod was falling off the wall. The carpet looked like it was the original (1840). Not a great value... I paid $411/night (all in) and you've expect a lot more for that price.

This property is in desperate need of updating/renovating. There was construction being performed on the outside of the building and we were not told about it prior to booking. Just beware the hotel is extremely old and has not been updated. The bathrooms have cracked and dirty grout, peeling paint on doors, dirty/stained carpet and creaky floors that had to have bothered our neighbors below us. The staff offered to move us to another room, but the only difference was it had taller ceilings. It was nice of them to try and make it better. There are plenty of great hotels to choose from downtown. I would steer clear of this one until it has undergone a renovation.

Good location and staff was great. Very friendly! I thought the hotel itself needs refreshing. Felt drab and musty. Wall paper in our bath was coming off the wall, rusty drip lines in shower , no window in the room which is a little claustrophobic and at least in my home state a fire hazard. Room was a comfortable temperature but I had to sleep on the couch the last night as the mattress was too soft for my back.

Getting more run down every year

Slow check in because room not ready. Hotel under construction, resulting in a complete lack of the outdoor patio space, which is one of the reasons we selected this hotel. The rooms have also gotten very rundown even beyond what they were and past years. The couch was broken, wallpaper peeling off of walls, rusted chrome fixtures, uncomfortable beds and pillows, and stains on the furniture. Badly in need of upgrade.
