Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

The Vendue

The Vendue

8/10 Good
"Wonderful location and excellent staff. Funky, artsy and quirky. No front desk, but always someone up front with a laptop. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom was roomy. Loved the shower. Toilet paper was sub-standard for an upscale hotel. Breakfast croissants and fruit (exactly the same every day) arrived on the doorhandle at 6 am, often without a napkin. Street noise was significant if you are a light sleeper. Valet parking was an added $49/day and the app for calling your vehicle was not efficient. Never took the daily art tour. Never got to the rooftop bar/grill because they had some problems with equipment. Starbucks and market within walking distance. Some good restaurants also within walking distance. All in all, a very good experience."
