Wonderful rooms, great location, lovely restaurant

Fantastic!!
Pros:

Having bikes to use was a nice plus!!

Cons:

Would like to have had an extra blanket for living room couch while reading books. Possibly vary the breakfast offerings every few days?! These are SMALL concerns, just suggestions😄👍🏼

Great place - great location. Can’t imagine us staying anywhere else the next time we stay in downtown Charleston
Pros:

Great location,style, and the in room kitchen was a great bonus

Cons:

Tried to do massages for both of us, but their spa partner could not accommodate two. Not the end of the world by any means.
Also wish the connected bar was open more days during our stay.

The perfect, hotel with the best location and staff in Charleston!
Pros:

Everything was exceptional. The concierge service and staff helped plan My wife’s birthday for us and 4 other couples. Their suggestions were spot on and they made sure we got all the reservations we requested. They were responsive and knowledgeable. The hotel is in the perfect location. Walking distance to EVERYTHING but felt as if you were in your own private boutique condo. We recommend The Pinch to anyone wanting to visit the Charleston area and we can’t wait to go back!

Very cute place
Pros:

Very cute. Had everything you needed

Cons:

The noise. Could not sleep too loud and bed very uncomfortable. Now I know why earplugs were in the nightstand.

A very pleasant hotel. We will stay here again.
Pros:

This hotel is a well-designed historical building renovation. It places useful amenities (kitchen, clothes washer and dryer, multiple light dimmers) into a traditional setting with style and comfort. The kitchen has a gourmet coffee machine for those who want to conjure up their own brew and a quality bread/roll toaster. The bed was comfortable and there is plenty of storage space. In the refrigerator are two large bottles of filtered water that are replenished daily. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. No food plan was specified, but a do-it-yourself continental breakfast was available in the lobby each morning. The in-building restaurant/bar serves excellent meals using fresh local foods. A bus stop is minutes away for the free DASH shuttle service that runs through the major Charleston historic areas. It's possible to walk down to the harbor area in about a half hour.

Cons:

Rooms that face the street can be noisy. I was told this is because Charleston will not allow dual-pane windows to be retrofitted into the historic building. Earplugs and a white noise machine are provided.
The walk-in shower has the same smooth tile floor as the bathroom. The shower floor can be slippery when wet, especially with soapy water. There is no safety grab bar in the shower.
