Hotel Details

Location

At the corner of Meeting and John Streets, this hotel is across from the Visitor Center and Charleston Museum, steps from King Street's shops and restaurants.
The historic district location puts you within a 10-minute walk of the City Market, Waterfront Park, and numerous dining options such as Coast Bar and Grill and Virginia's on King, both 0.5 km away. The free DASH shuttle stops directly across the street, making it easy to reach the South Carolina Aquarium and Fort Sumter without a car. The hotel is adjacent to the Charleston Music Hall. The parking garage entrance is on John Street; note that the garage has a 2.1 m clearance, which may be challenging for taller vehicles.

Accommodation

Rooms are spacious and include a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities.
Standard rooms do not include a microwave or refrigerator, though upgraded rooms with these amenities are available for an additional $10 per night. Some rooms feature a sofa bed or direct courtyard access. The property occupies a historic building, so room layouts vary; bathrooms may have small tubs, low ceilings, and uneven floors. Rooms facing internal courtyards are quieter, while those near the lobby can be noisier. The overall condition of furnishings and carpet shows wear, and the HVAC system may not allow precise temperature control.

Dining

A free hot breakfast buffet is served daily and includes eggs, meat, waffles, fresh bread, and 24-hour coffee in the lobby.
The breakfast buffet operates from 7:00-10:00 AM and offers scrambled eggs, potatoes, a rotating meat choice, and a make-your-own waffle bar. Plates and cutlery are disposable. There is no on-site restaurant, bar, or room service. Several dining options are an easy walk, including Paolo's Gelato, Sweet Belgium, and Henrietta's, all within 0.5 km, and Coast Bar and Grill at 0.5 km.

Wellness and Leisure

The outdoor pool and courtyard are open year-round, and the fitness center is free to use.
The outdoor pool is heated and open weather-permitting. Pool towels are provided. The courtyard has outdoor furniture and garden space, and some rooms have direct access to it. The fitness center is small but equipped for basic workouts. Neither a spa nor jacuzzi is available on site.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi, 24-hour front desk, business center, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, and pet-friendly policies are available.
Housekeeping is provided daily but may need to be requested in some cases. The front desk can store bags before check-in or after check-out, which is convenient for exploring Charleston. The business center has free internet access, and meeting/banquet facilities are available for an extra charge. The property is wheelchair accessible, with accessible parking and rooms available. Payment methods include American Express, Visa, Diners Club, Discover, and MasterCard. Dry cleaning and express check-in/out are also offered.
