SoCa Day Spa

We were first timers to Charleston, so take this review with that in mind. This hotel is in a good location and very walkable to everything. It's also one of the rare historic district hotels with a pool, although the pool is quite small and fills up VERY fast. The hotel also seemed to cater to a younger crowd with a DJ in the restaurant every night blasting music until 10pm outside our window. We saw a giant cockroach scurry across the pool area from the Little Palm restaurant, and we all know there isn't just one cockroach by itself! This made us wonder if that's why the Little Palm had wide open availability compared to most places nearby that were booked solid. The hotel in general is clearly going for like a California beach vibe, which it captured fairly well, but it needs some work. The carpet in the hallway was pretty dingy and beyond saving with a steam clean. Ceiling tiles in the hallway were drooping or fall off. The room was acceptable had we paid about 50%-60% of what it cost us to stay there. The shower had a bunch of mold in the grout and caulking. The mattress is not what you'd consider "soft and comfortable", but rather like sleeping on a pile of cardboard boxes folded up. I really don't like writing reviews like this, but we were so underwhelmed with this property that it felt appropriate to give others a heads up. We had very different expectations for the level of quality we'd be getting compared to the price that it cost us for this stay!

Very nice property close to everything either a walk away or quick uber ride. Staff were very helpful with tour arrangement and dinner recommendations. Was only here for a long weekend but would definitely recommend. I am very picky with hotel accommodations and this spot did not disappoint. Also a plus to have a coffee shop and restaurant downstairs.

Stayed there for a weekend getaway. Service was great and location was everything!! Feet away from market and entertainment.
