The best place we stayed at on our Charleston, SC to Kitty Hawk trip.
Pros:

Location is perfect for walking to everything in the downtown area. Just a couple blocks and you are on the riverfront boardwalk. Sits right in the historic downtown. Very cool inner courtyard area with outdoor bar. Their on-site restaurant is as good as any you find in town.

Not For Me
Pros:

This was an unusual property with several unfriendly quirks. First is parking. It is done across the street in a third party lot. You have to go through a ridiculous procedure to register your car. The hotel should make this easier. Next the room. We stayed in room #35. The front door is 90% clear glass. In order to gain some privacy, you have to pull a drape completely across another glass panel and the door. In the room there is a money making minibar situation with snacks and yet no coffee machine and no access to coffee other than the adjacent restaurant when it is open. Also there is no ice machine. How can you not have an ice machine available for your guest? And why not have one of those automatic coffee machines in the 24-hour open lobby? Very disappointed in this hotel and will not be staying here in the future.

Unique hotel
Pros:

We stayed here one night. The grounds are very nice with an outdoor bar in the garden as well as several fire pits. The rooms are in several different buildings. Our room which was on the first floor…though there are a couple of steps….was a small bedroom with a queen sized bed, two nightstands, and a rod from the wall which was the “closet”, the bathroom was on the small side but had a nice sized living room area. There were cupboards with shelves in the hallway which could be used for clothes storage. The hotel was well maintained and the furniture was retro modern. Though there are outlets around the rooms there was nothing bedside to charge electronics. When we returned from dinner though we had turned on the AC, the room had not cooled down and the vent was blowing warm air, so we sought the assistance of the receptionist. He tried very hard but acknowledged that it was an old system and the AC was not working properly. He returned shortly thereafter and offered a standing fan. It made it comfortable to sleep. He certainly went above and beyond to make us comfortable. In the morning the AC was working fine. The TV listed a bunch of stations but NBC, ABC and CBS did not show those stations. Very strange. The restaurant was closed for breakfast since they were down a cook but offered free coffee and pastries. The hotel is definitely different and unique.
