The hotel and room is amazing and completely remodeled! The biggest downfall of this place is the area it is in. (Having to have security monitor it 24/7 tells you that you’re not in a good neighborhood). You could hear people across the street fighting one night and surprisingly gunshots another night around midnight. It’s about a 15 minute drive to downtown Charleston. If you could pick this place up and move it is better area it would be a 10/10!

Very clean, newly renovated, comfortable bed and nice thick pillows. The lounge was very cool with live music and a vintage vibe. We were there for a concert at the Firefly Distillery- and it was very close and convenient to the venue. It is on the outskirts of Charleston- about 10 minute drive to downtown. It’s kind of like an industrial area there is no shopping or dining within walking distance but the property was secure and felt safe. Would definitely return!

When we drove up, there was what appeared to be a dead cat in the parking lot. Well, it wasn’t dead and when we got out of our vehicle it became very vocal meowing incessantly at us. I’m sure it was nice, but we are not cat people and it would not leave us alone

Great property! Like how they have refurbished it and brought the retro back. Outside of the property is a rough area but with 24/7 security we never felt unsafe.

Check in is all done electronically so have not had any interaction w staff, but their texts and communication were wonderful. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy but I love how they’ve redone the property with the old school vibe.
