Extreme cleanliness, comfort, and convenience of getting around town made for a delightful stay.
Pros:

We loved our room, having 2 floors was nice giving some alone space if wanted. Loved the neighborhood and the convenience of getting around nearly everywhere downtown easily on foot.

Cons:

The only thing we missed was the ability to open a window in the room. Not something that could easily be achieved just something we mentioned to each other.

Great location and good value.
Pros:

The man on the front desk was very hospitable and lovely, nothing was too much and he was always so kind. The hotel is perfect for a short stay. The rooms are over two levels, with living on ground floor and bedroom/bathroom upstairs. The rooms furnishings are quite dated (90s?) and it felt a bit dusty and dirty due to being heavily carpeted and with old furnishings

Cons:

Old decor and heavy carpeting /curtains and old linen.

Pros:

The location was perfect for what we wanted. The night staff when we checked in was friendly and the morning staff and general manager when we checked out were also friendly. The room was amazing, we had never seen a loft style hotel room before, and we fell in love. We definitely will be keeping this on the list of places to stay when we come back through Charleston.
