Centrally located and easily walkable to most area within historic Charleston. The room was clean and well-equiped with modern coastal decor. Coffee was limited to the first floor and unfortunately was out at 8am and limited staff left noone to ask for refill. The pool area was very nice, however every single seating area was reserved and left empty for the hour we were there trying to enjoy the pool.

While all the staff was friendly, the bar connected to the pool area (right outside our room) was ridiculously loud until 10 PM every night.

Our room had a view of a wall. The robe in the room was disgusting and very used and I can’t imagine a guest even putting it on their body. The bathroom was not clean when we arrived - hair on the ground in bathroom and in tub- gross! No coffee in the room and the coffee in the lobby was lukewarm at best. Man working at the coffee shop was dozing off at the register. We asked for a late check out at 11:30 or 12 and they said no. As we waited in the lobby for our Uber, the desk manager and another employee were talking about friend being drunk and were not professional at all. Lastly- we left our room for the day and got back around 3 and our room still had not been cleaned. There was a drunk person asleep in the sitting area above the coffee shop. Unfortunately this was not an good stay at all.
