The hotel offered breakfast delivered in your room each morning. There was butler service. The staff overall was very friendly and helpful. The proximity to everything we wanted to see was perfect.
The butler service took hours to take place when you called for it. We ordered ice for a drink while getting ready for dinner and never got it by the time we left over an hour later.
While not the prettiest street, the location is right next to the city market which is convenient and puts you at walking distance to almost all the interesting places to visit in Charleston.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
The hotel was underwhelming and grossly overpriced for what has been offered. The furniture throughout the hotel is worn and often dirty. While the bathrooms are generous in size, they show signs of mildew and dark grout, the bathroom cabinets are cheap and partially crooked. While all the butlers were lovely, the butler service is more or less a forced upon room service, as it is not “really” included in the price of the hotel. The quality of the breakfast also left a lot to be desired. Eggs were dried out and salty, as weee the potatoes/ veggies on the side.
The lobby of the hotel which is right adjacent to the hotel bar smelled a bit like a pub of stale beer and liqueur, not something that I find inviting for a hotel . However, that could be the easiest fix.
The location of the hotel is right next to the city market which is convenient and central. Valet service is offered, however we opted for a garage around the corner which was a lot cheaper.
Overall the hotel does not offer the form of exclusivity, quality and luxury that it markets for the price that it charges. We could have gone to any other hotel in Charleston and we should have.
The staff was so friendly and helpful. It was my daughter’s birthday and they surprised her with a cake and other special items. Very thoughtful for total strangers.
The cost is on the higher side but you get breakfast, drinks and snacks included. These add up.
The Spectator Hotel is ideally located in walking distance to all of downtown. It is beautifully styled, very clean and well maintained, including beautiful fresh flowers on the entry table. Southern hospitality reigns~as we were well greeted everyday as we came and went. The welcome greeting, meeting our butler and being offered and served a cocktail was a special touch that we appreciated.
The service was exceptional from lobby staff, to butlers, housekeeping, and bar staff.
We enjoyed the live jazz in the bar one night, which was an added plus. Also, the bar staff created well made cocktails.
The candy jar in the lobby was special touch, as were the in-room drinks, snacks and the little nightcaps served in chocolate cups.
Breakfasts were ample and delicious.
We would highly recommend this hotel and happily return ourselves.
Our butler for most of our stay was Darryl and shout out to him for his most hospitable, friendly service.
Brilliant staff, fantastic location, great vibe and cool bar.
Noise from Aircon which continued after turning off system.
Can’t say enough about this hotel. Bragged about it on Facebook

The location was perfect, and everything was extremely thoughtful. Our Butlers, Jim and David, were excellent, and all the staff always went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.
We were at the Spectator Hotel for five nights at the end of March. It was incredible, I would definitely plan to go back! Hannah C and Wade in Concierge, Matt, James, and Tyler in Valet, and our Housekeepers and Butlers were so friendly, helpful, personable and welcoming. Highly recommend!!
I loved everything about our stay at this hotel. We arrived early and our room wasn’t ready but they held our bags and texted me later when the room was ready. We booked a king room, which was spacious and so clean. The bed was very comfortable, bathroom had double sinks, a heated towel rack and huge walk in shower. The snacks & drinks in the room were such a treat & restocked every day. Breakfast was brought to our room each morning & was delicious! The attention to detail & little things, turn down service each night, water on our nightstands, the night caps each night, made this hotel very memorable. I could go on & on… Everyone at this hotel was friendly and went above & beyond. I can not say enough good things about this hotel & would not hesitate to stay again!!
Since the hotel lacks the space for breakfast area and it was served to the room. We'd definitely prefer buffet breakfast, but a la carte menu although limited contained all essentials.
No amenities
The personal attention to detail and service was excellent. The staff from the front desk to the vallet to the butlers made us feel exceptionally well cared for. They helped with anything and everything we needed and made it welcoming.
I highly recommend staying at the Spectator!! This place was absolutely wonderful and paid attention to every detail to ensure we were comfortable during our stay. The rooms were beautiful, the bed was comfortable, they highlighted our 50th birthday celebration, the food was fantastic, and the service was a 10/10. I would definitely plan to stay here again in the future.
I’d never been to Charleston before and The Spectator was a perfect first experience. The rooms were spacious and great. The service and hospitality were top notch - from the welcome cocktail to the various butlers who helped with any request. Breakfast was included and was also delicious. Lastly, the location seemed to be perfect given we were able to walk easily everywhere we needed to go.
The hotel is extremely quiet. As always the staff is exceptional from the butlers to the cleaning services. My sister was exceptionally ill while we were there and the staff could not have been kinder in providing assistance and comfort.
There was some water damage in the entrance to the room that looked like it should have been addressed and some mold on the caulk on the bathroom counter. The rooms are clean but starting to feel like they need a touch up.
