Overall hotel is well-maintained and decor is timeless. The room is a bit dated, but clean and functional. However, expect cold showers (not even lukewarm) that do not get fixed even after requesting the front desk for engineers to be sent up. When I arrived at night, I hopped into the shower after running it for a few minutes, hoping it would get warm, but after waiting a little longer, I just went for it wanting desperately to hop into bed. The next day, I told the front desk and they said they would send someone up to fix it. I returned to the hotel in the afternoon, no note from the front desk, assuming they fixed it, and finally I could take a hot shower. That evening, I ran the water for 5 minutes, still cold, another 5 minutes, still cold. They did not fix it, notify me, or offer me another solution for another room. I was only staying another night after that so I didn't want to hassle anyone and just sucked up another couple of cold showers. Eventually the last night, I caught a cold, tried to request late check out, but was only given until noon due to being "fully booked". However, after checking with my colleagues, one was able to get her room until 2:30PM. It was disappointing the non-service I received for the stay. I hope others will have a better experience if choosing to stay here.

Had the pleasure of breakfast at the Palmetto. Breakfast was extremely good and had the good fortune of having Hal as my server. He was was an extremely engaging individual and made the experience much more enjoyable than simply dining alone. He is/was a credit to his profession, and I am happy to extend my appreciation for his services.

All the Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. First class experience! Rooms and hotel were wonderful. Great location as we could walk everywhere as we explored Charleston. Lauren recommended Chef Daniel Humm restaurant on the property. Great recommendation! Wonderful staff, drinks and food!

Just be aware of the construction because you will be woken at 7am and it doesn’t stop. Even on Saturday morning we were woken by the loudest banging that didn’t stop for HOURS. The lack of amenities, and some workers don’t exactly care, they are too busy talking to other employees.

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.
