I had a wonderful experience at this hotel in downtown Charleston. The vibrant decor and thoughtful details like champagne at check-in really set the mood. While the service was exceptional and made our stay feel special, the room had a bit of a musty odor that detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, the location was perfect for exploring, but I felt the room could have used some updates. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it for a unique stay in Charleston.
