I took a long time trying to determine which hotel to stay at for our first visit to Charleston. I was thrilled with our decision. The room with access to the courtyard was a unique experience that we will never forget. The room was beautifully laid out and decorated, and had wonderful amenities. The offering of slippers to guests is a detail that adds that extra touch for its guests, and is one of my fav items when staying at a hotel.
