Great Charleston Stay!

Overall, this was a great accommodation! Room was spacious and clean, and nicer than pictures show! Only minor hiccup was an issue with our room key, but the managers helped resolve it! Great location, easy to walk to King St. and waterfront. Highly recommend for a stay in Charleston!

We had a studio on the 3rd flood. It was the perfect size with a queen bed and a separate living area with a couch and fireplace. The room was clean and quiet with no street noise. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The best part was the location. Quick walk to the market, the waterfront and French Quarter. We would definitely stay here again.
