The parking for this location was very frustrating. Tickets never worked to reenter the lot and you were constantly having to pull a new ticket to be validated despite being told by front desk staff not to. The room itself was very spacious and location convenient to King Street.

Nice little hotel
I loved this hotel, it was cute, the bed was soft. We had a balcony that looked out onto a courtyard. The shower was great. You do need to pay for parking (17.00). The parking is on the backside of the hotel. They have complimentary win and cheese from 5:00 to 6;00. You can can go down stairs for coffe and breakfast or have it delivered.

This small cozy hotel is in a historic building. The lobby is a lovely sitting room. A courtyard within the building provides a perfect place to relax and unwind on the patio. Our room was well planned, complete with a table for complementary room service continental breakfast, a very comfortable bed, and a desk/dresser/armoire built-in. There was a complementary wine and cheese happy hour and a glass of brandy offered later in the evening. The hotel’s location is a quick walk to the Market, great restaurants, and Charleston Place. In the middle of everything yet a quiet retreat. We were very impressed.

The room and hotel were exceptionally clean and the staff was always courteous and friendly. The courtyard area was perfect and was enjoyed in both morning and afternoons. The hotel is in a great location to both the market and to shops on King.

The area is great because it's near everything in the historic district. The property doesn't really offer anything extra, like a pool or a hot tub. It's just a basic room for somewhere around 400 per night on the weekends. Not even a bath tub. Parking is not user friendly. I got a ticket with a bar code from the office so It could be scanned in order to go in and out of the parking lot, but it would not work when I was trying to leave and every time I wanted to enter or leave it would not work so I had to continually call the city to let me in or out. The hotel told me they had validated the ticket but it still wouldn't work. The morning continental breakfast is not self serve. One morning I went with my wife to get the breakfast and the table had not been wiped off from the previous guest. When the waitress came I asked to have it wiped. I didn't quite understand her spoken response so I asked her to repeat and she responded in an indignant manner saying she would do it when she brought our drink or food. I wasn't happy with the unfriendly treatment I received so my wife and I just left. We weren't missing much. The granola was stale anyway.
