The property is absolutely beautiful and in the heart of all the action- but very quiet! The rooms are gorgeous, clean, and the beds are very comfy. I only stayed here one night but will plan to return again. As a side note, I was travelling alone this leg of my trip and was selective about finding a place where I would feel safe- this was Perfect!

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.
