We recently hosted an event at The Charleston Place Hotel, and while the staff was truly exceptional, our experience was unfortunately mixed. The hotel staff was wonderful across the board, from the bellmen to the front desk. Fathi was especially kind and helpful, and Jessie Holt, Megan Galvan, Latasha Deterville, and Alexa Fezuk were all fantastic in helping us coordinate our event. The conference team was equally outstanding, including Gwen, Dave Caruso, and the entire events staff. Their professionalism, kindness, and willingness to help were greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, our experience with the guest rooms was extremely disappointing. Four of our guests had no air conditioning, and another guest went without hot water for two days before finally being moved to another room. Despite these significant inconveniences, the hotel offered no compensation or discount. When we raised the issue and requested some form of restitution, our request was denied. While the staff deserves recognition for their excellent service, the room conditions and the hotel's response to these issues fell well below expectations, particularly for a hotel of this caliber. We also understand that construction will continue at the property through 2028 or 2029, which is another important consideration for anyone planning a stay. **My recommendation would be to consider other accommodations until the construction is complete and the hotel can consistently deliver the level of comfort and service guests expect.** The staff was wonderful, but unfortunately, that alone was not enough to make up for the issues we experienced.

I traveled with my family (husband, and two children ages 2 and 4) on a Luxury Link auction package to Charleston Place in August. True good service is making travel effortless for the visitor, and Charleston Place delivered. There was no problem in bringing our children. We arrived about an hour before official check-in, but our room was ready and keys were given. Concierge had pre-printed directions to many of the sites. Finally, our Luxury Link credits for spa and dinner was automatically applied at check-out, so the check-out sheet that I received the morning of departure already had the correct amount that needed to be charged. Effortless! The Club floor included an expanded continental buffet breakfast, as well as drinks and finger foods throughout most of the day. This was very convenient and the breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres were particularly extensive. What makes Charleston Place stand out from myriad other places to stay in Charleston - many more historic or quaint or intimate - is the amenities offered. The pool with surrounding deck and kiddie pool is a very pleasant spot. The spa treatments were wonderful and very professional. Dinner at Charleston Grill was our favorite meal of the trip. The flavors were complex and fresh - this is not your typical fried and heavy Southern cuisine. I can see Charleston Place appealing to business travelers, couples needing pampering, families with older children, and yes, families with young children. All in all, a service-oriented hotel in a wonderful location with superior amenities and appealing to many different types of travelers.
