Loved staying here! Rooms/bathrooms are beautiful, there’s so much to do in the hotel itself, and the location is walking distance to pretty much everything. We also loved that each floor has a nice espresso machine in the hall, along with carafes you can fill with regular or sparkling water. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful.

The walls are extremely thin, so we could hear the folks in the room next door as well as we would have if they had been in our room. We thoroughly enjoyed the location of the hotel and its accessibility to shopping, the historic district and restaurants. The staff were professional, upbeat, and pleasant. The hotel was well maintained and clean. We plan to come back to the Emeline, when we return to Charleston.
